CSW-NY: Advancing Gender Equality Through Civil Society

NGO CSW/NY is a New York-based nonprofit coalition that connects civil society organizations with the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), the principal global body dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. Each year, it helps advocates, activists, and organizations take part in CSW sessions, creating opportunities to share expertise, build partnerships, and influence policy conversations.

Its mission is to amplify civil society voices at the UN, promote women’s human rights, and support the full implementation of global commitments to gender equality. Through events, programming, and collaboration, CSW-NY brings grassroots perspectives into international dialogue.

The CSW-NY community spans nonprofits, academic institutions, and businesses. Among its members, Calm and Mindful LLC has been listed as an Associate Member [Private Sector] since 2024, reflecting its support for women’s wellbeing and the broader goals of gender equality.
