Accessibility

IMPORTANT UPDATE – PLEASE READ

In light of the current concerns regarding coronavirus disease (COVID-19), CSW64 will suspend after one procedural meeting on 9 March. There will be no general discussion and no interactive dialogues. All CSW side events on UN premises and all NGO parallel events have been cancelled. NGOs with valid annual ECOSOC grounds passes will be able to attend the procedural meeting on 9 March. There will be no issuance of CSW grounds passes and CSW64 confirmation letters are no longer applicable.
We invite all to view the live webcast of the 9 March meeting at http://webtv.un.org/

We advise organizations to follow the Secretary-General’s strong recommendation that capital-based delegations and other stakeholders refrain from travelling to UN Headquarters.

The Accessibility Centre at United Nations Headquarters, through its services, supports the inclusion and greater participation of persons with disabilities in the meetings taking place on United Nations premises.

The Accessibility Centre is located in close proximity to the meeting rooms and equipped with state-of-the-art assistive information and communication technology supporting audio, visual as well as physical impairments.

For more information on the Accessibility Centre and its services, please contact accessibilitycentre@un.org or visit the Centre’s website at https://www.un.org/accessibilitycentre/ .

For questions related to CSW registration of participants with disabilities, please contact the CSW team at csw@unwomen.org .
