The Historic Global Campaign Agreement affirms cities as hubs of innovation, underscores CEDAW’s role in gender justice, and commits to tackling climate impacts, discrimination, and inclusion in governance, economy, security, and youth engagement. Signed by the Minister of Women’s Affairs, Nigeria; Co-chair of the NGO Committee on the Status of Women, New York; and Founder and Co-director of the Cities for CEDAW History and Futures Project. C4UN was one of 19 witnesses to sign the letter of agreement.

The NGO CSW Forum is organized by and for global civil society, non-governmental organizations, and feminists to connect them with the official United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW) process. With hundreds of events, the NGO CSW Forum informs, engages, and inspires grassroots efforts and gender equality advocacy around the world. While the NGO CSW Forum runs parallel to and complements the UN CSW, it is a separate process with separate organizers.
