NOTE: Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the 64th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women has been postponed until a yet-to-be-determined date in July. All side and parallel events, including our Woman @ CSW parallel event scheduled for March 12, have been canceled for now.
We will keep you updated as we get more information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
As the United Nations launches the 64th session of the Commission on the Status of Women — the world’s largest annual gathering on women’s rights — we are launching a parallel event.
Join us for an exclusive screening of Woman, a gorgeous documentary film that examines the lives of hundreds of women around the world (including, briefly, our founder/executive director Fraidy Reiss). We’ll discuss the central question the film raises: How far have women come, and how far do they still have to go?
A parallel event to the 64th Session of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women
LOCATION: Lycée Français de New York, 505 E 75th St., NYC
DATE: TBD
TIME: 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
ADMISSION: Free
Light refreshments will be served. REGISTER NOW.
Woman, from filmmakers Anastasia Mikova and Yann Arthus-Bertrand, is based on interviews with some 2,000 women around the globe. In a world where women are forced to marry, deprived of an education, forbidden from going outside on their own and subjected to myriad other abuses, the film is a message of love and hope.
Hosted by Unchained At Last. Made possible by generous support from the international law firm White & Case. Co-sponsored by NGO CSW/NY.
