The world’s largest gathering on women's rights, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), held its 66th session in March, and for the first time in history had the climate crisis as its primary team. CESR’s team took part in a wide variety of events to call for a Rights-Based Economy that ensures the dominant economic system enables -and does not hinder- the cause of climate justice and the rights of women worldwide:
-
