Public Delegates to UN Commission on the Status of Women Announced

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice today announced the appointment of three individuals to be the Public Delegates to the Fifty-first session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). The three are Lisa Guillermin Gable of Upperville, Virginia, Darlene Bramon of Hailey, Idaho, and Pia Francesca de Solenni of Washington, D.C.

The session will take place in New York at the UN General Assembly building from February 26 to March 9, 2007. The theme of this year’s Commission session is “Eliminating Violence and Discrimination Against the Girl Child.”

The Commission on the Status of Women is a functional commission of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), dedicated exclusively to gender equality and the advancement of women. Every year, representatives of Member States gather at United Nations Headquarters in New York to evaluate progress on gender equality, identify challenges, set global standards and formulate concrete policies to promote gender equality and advancement of women worldwide. The Commission was established by ECOSOC on June 21, 1946.
