Our Standing Committee
Today, ICW has 25 standing committee coordinators and advisors to influence policies by developing the plans of action and disseminating important information to ICW members on elimination of discrimination, violence against women, equal rights and opportunities for all, equal rights and access healthcare and, social protection for child and family, education, environmental and other issues of concern.
Advisors and co-ordinators are required to gather information related to their portfolios from affiliated National Councils of Women so as to
be able to report to the ICW-CIF and share this information with the ICW-CIF Permanent Representatives to the UN.
