After almost two weeks of round-table discussions, panel debates and lobbying, the 53rd session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) came to an end, its legacy being the statement of 'Agreed Conclusions' focusing on this year's priority areas, including the "equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including caregiving in the context of HIV/AIDS".
A helpful summary of the final proceedings of the commission, which gives a good overview of the key areas of debate and the content of the Agreed Conclusions can be found on the UN website. Find also on the website the advanced, unedited version of the Conclusions. (Note that final and agreed Conclusions will be available at the end of June in the CSW report.)
