The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) held its forty-seventh session from 3 to 14 March 2003, at New York Headquarters. The Commission focused on two thematic issues:

  1. participation and access of women to the media, and information and communication technologies and their impact on and use as an instrument for the advancement and empowerment of women; and
  2. women’s human rights and elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls as defined in the Beijing Platform for Action and the outcome document of the Special Session for the General Assembly entitled “Women: gender equality, development and peace for the twenty-first century.”.
A panel discussion on the first thematic issue was held on 3 March and on the second on 4 March. The Commission held for the first time a high-level round table on national experiences in institutional capacity building, in particular in relation to the two thematic issues.
