Parallel Events Request and Coordination System

The Parallel Events Request and Coordination System is a system for UN Missions, UN entities and NGOs to submit requests for Parallel Events and for NGOs to register their representatives for the upcoming CSW Session. All requests for Parallel Events will now be made online by the Parallel Event organizers. At any stage in the new system you can access help information from the main menu.
Note: The deadline for Parallel Event requests by NGOs has passed.

DAW will coordinate all UN Missions, UN Agencies and Inter-Governmental Organizations requested Parallel Events. These events will be held on UN premises. Any queries about them should be addressed to DAW at:

United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women
Department of Economic and Social Affairs
2 UN Plaza, DC2-12th Floor,
New York, NY 10017,
USA
Fax: +1 (917) 367-0587
Email: csw51@un.org

The NGO Committee on the Status of Women will coordinate all NGO-organized Parallel Events and makes all decisions related to these events. Any queries should be addressed to:

The NGO Committee on the Status of Women
708 3 Ave.,
5th Floor, Room 101,
New York, NY 10017
Fax number: +1 (212) 209-7161
Focal point contact: Ms. Jackie Shapiro

NGOs who are not ECOSOC accredited and plan to organize events outside the UN and Church Center should contact the NGO Committee to have their event included in a list being compiled by the Committee.

For Parallel Events taking place in the Church Center, there will be no charge as no equipment will be provided. However, NGOs organizing the events can bring their own equipment.

In addition, organizers will have access to the dynamic Parallel Event calendar. This calendar will show all Parallel Event requests as they are updated by the organizers and by the DAW or/and the NGO Committee. It will show the current live status of each Parallel Event request e.g. pending, submitted, and finally scheduled requests showing the location and time of the Parallel Events. This calendar will be an invaluable tool for organizers who may want to host a joint event or to make use of existing information to choose the timing of their own events. With this dynamic calendar, they can coordinate with other organizers who are hosting similar Parallel Events.
