This year the 57th CSW will consider “The elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls”, from 4 to 15 March. For the women’s movement and activists in Latin America and the Caribbean this is a sensitive issue as well as for all women defenders of women’s rights worldwide. Violence against women is the principal and the most serious violation of women’s rights. As the women’s movement from Latin America and the Caribbean we want to bring our voice to influence the final document of the 57th CSW, considering that our voices reflect a broad perspective including the diversity of women in our region.
