We see the annual session on the Commission on the Status of Women as an important multilateral forum, where feminists from all around the world can strategize, exchange and forge new ideas on how to push back against anti-gender movements. This year, the programming of the 69th session of the CSW, which will take place in New York City from March 10-21, 2025 will revolve around the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Beijing Conference.
Our fellowship aims to support feminist experts from the Global South to be part of these critical discussions, provide space, access and experience in the realm of international institutions and connect young underrepresented voices to relevant decision-makers. Part of the program will also focus critically on how to best advance a feminist foreign policy – a framework that has been under scrutiny in the last year. The fellowship will cover participants’ travel and accommodation costs to attend the CSW, provide passes to the CSW meetings, as well as opportunities to attend supplementary meetings and events tailored to the fellowship.
WHAT WE EXPECT
Travel to the US and participate at the 2025 CSW: All candidates must be available to travel to the US and participate at the CSW for a 5-day period during the conference dates of March 10 – 21, 2025. The exact dates of the trip will be set once the CSW program is announced.
Engage in discussions and provide thematic inputs: Once selected, fellows will be asked to provide a short statement/strategy outlining what goals they aim to achieve at the CSW (e.g. an intervention during a specific event, targeted networking on a specific issue, etc.).
Active social media engagement: In the lead-up to, during, and after the CSW, participants are expected to actively engage with the Heinrich Böll Foundation over social media channels to report on their experiences.
Be part of a growing network: Candidates should apply not only to participate in the CSW, but with the goal of becoming part of a growing network of feminist thinkers and “doers” who support each other in advancing a new vision for global diplomacy and development.
Please note that professional competency in English is required
