Description:
This year’s Youth Delegate Orientation will be held in conjunction with NGOCSW Consultation Day at the Salvation Army on 14th Street. The youth orientation is designed for young people (ages 15 – 25) attending the 56th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 56). The day will include interactive workshops on the history for the CSW, as well as provide an overview of the primary and review themes as they relate to girls’ human rights. Participants will receive training in advocacy skills and learn to utilize social networking sites to promote girls’ rights. Youth delegates will also consider current efforts to advance the human rights of girls and learn how to best navigate CSW 56.

This event provides youth with a valuable space to prepare, network and strategize for CSW 56!
