WOSSO: New approach to CSW needed

WOSSO is a consortium formed by two prominent Southern Women’s Rights Organisations (WROs), Gender Links and ARROW and a renowned UK based development firm, MannionDaniels. We share feminist values and a deep concern regarding the narrowing civic space, particularly for women and girls. Funded by the UK government, we envision a world in which the voices of women and girls from the global south, in all our diversity, inform the decisions and policies that affect our lives. WOSSO has two components: research and fellowships for young women ages 18 to 35 from Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Caribbean, Southwest Asia and North Africa.

This document was prepared by the nine fellows who participated in the 69^th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meeting in New York, also the 30^th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in March 2025.
