Each year, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) draws thousands of people to the United Nations. Participants are affiliated with NGOs from around the world, but this year there was a new group of women on the scene.
Together with the National Women's Studies Association- WILPF brought 16 college students to the CSW (Feb. 23-March 1). For students interested in the global women's movement as a whole, or in specific contemporary problems as diverse as AIDS, wide's rights, or human trafficking, the U.N. Practicum offered unparalleled opportunities for research and experiential learning.
