April 5, 2024
BIC NEW YORK — At the 68th session of the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), the Bahá’í International Community (BIC) underscored the critical role of institutions in dismantling barriers to women’s full participation in society. This idea is central to a recent statement of the BIC and builds on its long-standing contributions to the global discourse on the equality of women and men.
At an event associated with the Commission, Liliane Nkunzimana, a BIC representative from the New York Office, shared an account from Zambia about how institutions can foster social betterment when they are guided by the principle of the equality of women and men.
