Rising Threats to Women’s Rights: A Call to Action at CSW69

Dated: March 11, 2025

The 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) is set to address the alarming global backlash against women’s and girls’ rights, 30 years after the historic Beijing Declaration. As advocates gather to discuss these pressing issues, the urgency for collective action has never been greater.

Key Takeaways

  • Global Backlash: Women’s rights are facing unprecedented threats worldwide.
  • 30 Years Since Beijing: The anniversary of the Beijing Declaration highlights both progress and setbacks.
  • Call to Action: Advocates are urged to stand up for women and girls at CSW69.

The Context of CSW69

The Commission on the Status of Women is a key global policy-making body dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. This year’s session, CSW69, is particularly significant as it marks three decades since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a landmark framework for advancing women’s rights.

Despite the progress made since 1995, recent years have seen a troubling rise in anti-feminist movements, restrictive policies, and violence against women. These developments threaten to reverse hard-won gains in gender equality and women’s rights.

The Current Landscape

The current landscape for women’s rights is marked by several alarming trends:

  1. Increased Violence: Reports indicate a rise in gender-based violence, exacerbated by crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
  2. Reproductive Rights Under Attack: Many countries are rolling back reproductive rights, limiting access to essential health services.
  3. Political Backlash: Anti-feminist rhetoric is gaining traction in various political arenas, undermining gender equality initiatives.
  4. Economic Inequality: Women continue to face significant economic disparities, with many losing jobs during the pandemic and struggling to regain economic footing.

The Importance of Advocacy

At CSW69, advocates and leaders are called to unite and amplify their voices in support of women and girls. The event serves as a platform to:

  • Share Experiences: Women from diverse backgrounds can share their stories and challenges.
  • Develop Strategies: Collaborative efforts can lead to innovative solutions to combat the backlash.
  • Mobilize Support: Engaging allies and stakeholders is crucial for creating a robust support network.

Looking Ahead

As the world reflects on the achievements and challenges of the past 30 years, the message is clear: the fight for women’s rights is far from over. The outcomes of CSW69 will be pivotal in shaping the future of gender equality initiatives globally.

In conclusion, the call to action at CSW69 is not just a plea for support; it is a demand for accountability and commitment to uphold the rights of women and girls everywhere. As advocates gather under the banner of #ForAllWomenAndGirls, the hope is to inspire a renewed commitment to gender equality and to ensure that the progress made over the last three decades is not lost to the tides of backlash.
