UNGIS Side Event @ CSW 70
Leaving No Woman and Girl Behind: UN System-Wide Cooperation in Action
Friday, 13 March 2026, 10:00–11:15 (EDT) / 15:00–16:15 (CET)
Conference Room 9, UN Headquarters, New York, United States
This seventieth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) side event aims to showcase the ongoing and strengthened efforts of UNGIS and its partners to advance gender mainstreaming in digital development.
The side event responds to the mandate outlined in the Outcome Document (A/RES/80/173) of the High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society. The resolution underscores the importance of ensuring that women and girls can participate in and contribute to society on equal terms and without discrimination, reaffirming that their full, equal, and meaningful participation in the digital age is essential to achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women. It also calls for urgent action to counter and address all forms of violence, including gender-based violence, that occur through or are amplified by the use of technology. These priorities are fully aligned with the CSW70 priority theme and with the UNGIS mandate to advance policy coherence and coordination on digital development across the United Nations system.
In response to this mandate, UNGIS members are initiating a coordinated process to develop a WSIS Action Plan on Women and Girls, in collaboration with the WSIS Women and Girls Trendsetters, Action Line Facilitators, and other relevant stakeholders.
