Hear from a panel of VC activists who attended CSW70 as delegates – taking local to global!
World leaders gathered at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City for the 2026 UN Women’s Conference, CSW70 (Commission on the Status of Women) to discuss, report progress, and make commitments regarding justice and equity for women and girls. For the first time, a group of twenty Ventura County activists attended this conference as delegates of the Ventura County Women’s Forum Collaborative (VCWFC) whose mission is to improve the lives of Ventura County women and girls around the UN Women’s Strategic Priorities, such as governance and participation in public life, economic empowerment, ending violence against women and girls, peace and security, humanitarian action, and disaster risk reduction.
