The North America Vaishnavi Ministry is participating in the United Nations (UN) Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), from March 9–20 at UN Headquarters in New York City. In-person participants include Govind Priya Devi Dasi, Syama Mohini Devi Dasi, and Ila Hatwal.
In addition to attending the international gathering, the representatives will also speak at a parallel event hosted through the NGO/CSW (Non-Governmental Organization/Commission on the Status of Women) Forum, contributing a faith-based perspective to global discussions on women’s wellbeing and empowerment.
The Commission on the Status of Women is the principal global intergovernmental body dedicated to advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women. Each year, representatives of member states, UN agencies, and civil society organizations from around the world convene to review progress, share best practices, and help shape policies that impact the lives of women and girls globally.
For the Vaishnavi Ministry, participation in CSW70 offers an opportunity to represent devotional values in an international forum. The gathering provides a platform to contribute spiritual perspectives to conversations on women’s dignity, safety, leadership, and empowerment, while also fostering partnerships with NGOs, policymakers, and global leaders working toward similar goals. Participation also allows the Ministry to learn from global research and policy frameworks that can strengthen its initiatives in education, protection, and leadership development within the devotional community.
