НСВП НА 64-ОЙ СЕССИИ КПЖ
Submitted by NSWP on 22nd July 2020
НСВП составила делегацию из представителей членских организаций для участия в 63-ей сессии Комиссии по положению женщин (КПЖ). Из-за вспышки коронавируса вся сессия КПЖ в 2020 году, которая должна была длиться две недели, была урезана до одного дня; участвовать в сессиях в этот день могли только правительственные делегации. Это означает, что все параллельные мероприятия были отменены и что ожидаемое тщательное обсуждение проблем с участием правительств и организаций сообщества при поддержке гражданского общества не состоялось.

NSWP参加妇女地位委员会 第64次会议
Submitted by NSWP on 22nd July 2020
NSWP助力成员组织的代表团参加妇女地位委员会（CSW）第64次会议。由于COVID-19疫情爆发，CSW 64被从两周削减到一天，且只有政府代表团参加。这意味着所有边会和平行活动都被取消，所期待的社群组织与政府热烈对话，以及民间社会问责政府的重要意见，都完全不存在。
尽管有这些极端情况对计划的活动严重干扰，一些NSWP还是成功参与了一系列与盟友和伙伴独立组织的会议活动，继续倡导尊重、保护和实现性工作者人权，以及将性工作者及其问题有效纳入到北京+25议程。

NSWP at CSW64
Submitted by NSWP on 29th June 2020
NSWP facilitated a delegation from member organisations to attend the 64th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). The 64th CSW session was cut from almost two weeks to one day following the outbreak of COVID-19, and was attended by government delegations only. This meant that all side and parallel events were cancelled and the expected robust discussions between community organisations and governments, and the essential input from civil society to hold governments accountable, was entirely absent.
