Dear Madam, Sir

Centre for Social Research would like to invite you to the National Consultation between civil society organisations and the government officials.The consultation will serve as a feed for the Beijing+20 Global Review scheduled in March’15 in New York during the 59th Commission on the Status of Women.

This would be the first time when representatives from Indian government, United Nations, European Union Delegation, and German Embassy will be having a direct dialogue and brainstorm with the members of the civil society. The programme aims at developing concrete strategies to accelerate growth and progress in women’s lives and to seek accountability for implementing the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

Also, we will be sharing the recommendations integrated through 'Youth Contribution to the Beijing+20 Review Debate', a programme which is being run with the support of The Asia Foundation.

Opportunity to interact with:

The programme which is being run with the support of The Asia Foundation, aims to collate recommendations from the youth under the twelve critical areas of concern identified by the Beijing Platform for Action. CSR has been contributing to the Beijing+20 programmes since its inception in 1995 and the university consultations are facilitated to review and accumulate the recommendations that youth can suggest for holistic development and advancement of women.
