Women in Migration Network participated in several events during the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) in New York March 9 through 2026. The launch of WIMN’s new Feminist Migration Policy Agenda highlighted the whirlwind of activities. Thank you to our speakers and everyone who came!

Be sure to check out the Feminist Migration Policy Agenda (FMPA), available in English, French and Spanish, and soon in Arabic.
