Commission on the Status of Women (CSW67)
The 67th session of CSW runs from 6-17 March. This is the UN’s largest gathering on women's rights, with a focus on education for gender equality in the digital age.
Education is fundamental to women’s economic, physical and political autonomy in later life. But too often, schools miss the opportunity to challenge exclusionary norms and structures that impact girls throughout their lives.
So how can we harness the full potential of education for gender equality? And what does this look like in today’s digital age? Here we highlight emerging research how digital and gender-transformative education can empower women and girls everywhere.
