Parallel events held on UN
premises
Parallel events may be organized on UN premises during the
CSW session by Permanent Missions, UN entities and ECOSOC-accredited NGOs
collaborating with Member States or UN entities.
The sponsoring Permanent Mission or UN entity should
request rooms and equipment through the Parallel
Event Request System for Permanent Missions and UN entities. The sponsoring
Permanent Mission or UN entity assumes responsibility for paying any expenses
related to the event, and should be present at the event.
Parallel events held in the Church Center and other locations
Parallel events organized by NGOs take place outside UN premises, usually in the Church Center (located at the intersection of 44th Street and First Avenue, across from the UN Secretariat building). NGOs, both with and without ECOSOC accreditation, may organize and attend these events. No equipment (computers, projectors, etc) will be provided. NGOs organizing the events can however bring their own equipment.
NGOs wishing to organize a parallel event during the CSW
session should directly contact the NGO Committee on the Status of Women (www.ngocsw.org), which is a group of New
York-based women’s NGOs in consultative status with ECOSOC. Please do not
contact DAW with queries related to parallel events organized by NGOs.
