The 60th Commission on the Status of
Women (CSW60) 14 - 24 March 2016, New York
CSW60 is the
principal United Nations gender meeting of the year, where states and civil
society come together to review progress on women’s rights. The GWI President
Catherine Bell and Graduate Women International (GWI) members from all over the
world will attend CSW60 to ensure that its mission, the empowerment of women and girls through lifelong quality
education, is visible and promoted at the highest levels. GWI will be
calling for a greater acknowledgement of the value of women teachers as a way of encouraging girls to complete secondary
education in some regions, and advocating for the enrolment of girls and
women in science, technology and innovation programmes worldwide in order to
increase their access to the socio-economic benefits of science and technology.

New report
on the gender pay gap between men and women in vocational education in Poland
The gender pay gap
in Poland can only in part be explained by factors such as level of education,
job seniority, experience and breaks in employment relating to child care. They
indicate that women earn less than men irrespective of the level of education,
economic sector, professional field and the size of an enterprise. There are
very few occupations where the average pay of women is equal or higher than
men’s pay. See the full report here. GWI advocates for enabling access to education for girls
and women to enlarge a country’s labour force and to increase their GDP,
as well as economic empowerment for girls and women.
