United Nations Commission on the Status of Women
VOW is one of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) cited by UNESCO’s standing committee in the working group report entitled “The Contribution of Women to the Culture of Peace”. An accredited NGO to the United Nations, affiliated to the Department of Public Information (DPI) and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), VOW was the Canadian lead group for peace at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.
We have taken delegations of women to the United Nations nearly every year for decades where we meet with local and international advocacy groups from around the world, attend parallel events, conferences and even host our own. For more info, please click here
