    "content": "I want to go to the next issue which is about the establishment of the Commission. The CSW is instrumental. I know Hon. Members, especially the male Members, may not quite understand that CSW is instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world and shaping global standards on gender equality and empowerment of women. In 1996, UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in Resolution 1996 and No. 6 expanded the Commission’s mandate and decided that it should take a leading role in monitoring and reviewing problems in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and in mainstreaming gender perspective in UN entities or activities. Following the adoption of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development in 2015, the Commission now contributes to the follow-up of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, so as to accelerate the realisation of gender equality and empowerment of women. During the annual two weeks session, representatives of UN member States where Kenya, as a country, attends every year, civil societies and UN entities, gather at the UN headquarters in New York. They discuss progress and gaps in the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action, key global policy document on the gender equality and the 23rd Special Session."
