As an organization in special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council, IWC has been involved with the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) since 2017. CSW meets for two weeks in March, with a vibrant schedule of sessions, pre-COVID times in person, now in virtual space.

Greetings, Members and Friends,
As we prepare to hold our Annual Meeting of Members on June 14, there is a lot of buzz about our membership program. It became apparent, through brief discussions at our Tuesday Gatherings, that not all of our friends understood how the membership program works. We encourage you to read our membership policy and fill out a simple membership form. We would like to have each of you a member of the ICUUW family! If you are not yet a member, please complete the online form and commit to supporting us in all the ways that you are able.

Greetings, Members and Friends,
March 11th marks the second anniversary of the day that Covid-19 was declared a pandemic. Since then, our lives have changed significantly; we have had to learn to adapt. As an organization in special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council, ICUUW earned the right to send delegates to the annual meetings of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in March.
