The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is meeting in New York - official meetings start on Monday, March 1, til Friday, March 12 - but the NGOs (Non governmental organizations) will be meeting on the Saturday, Feb. 27, and Sunday Feb. 28 - to discuss, and hear from others the issues that are affecting their lives. The theme this year, the 54th session of the CSW, is Beijing plus 15 - yes it is 15 years since that incredible coming together in Beijing, China, and the Fourth World Conference on Women. I was there, plus many from Winnipeg, and Manitoba, and Canada - so i'm really interested in this session of the CSW. What progress has there been for women? How has Canada done? What are the new issues?
One way I thought i could share all this was to do a Blog - not sure how it will work out, but what i will try to do is to capture what I experience, possibly a few photos too, and put it all here for you to read. It will be my personal story though, not anything official. So stay tuned! - by Mary Scott

At least that will allow some like me who could not make it to the CSW to have some first hand insights.
