The UN’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) unanimously appointed Saudi Arabia to chair its 69th session in 2025, according to the Saudi Arabia Mission to the UN. Saudi ambassador to the UN, Abdulaziz Alwasil, was elected as chair. The Commission on the Status of Women, or CSW, is made up of 45 UN member states. To ensure fair representation, CSW members are chosen according to geography so there are 13 members from Africa, 11 from Asia, 9 from Latin America and the Caribbean, 8 from western Europe and other states, and 4 from eastern Europe. Each member state serves for four years. Saudi Arabia, part of the Asia bloc, is a member until 2027.


      The Saudi Vision 2030 also included priorities and targets that focused on women’s full participation at all levels and investing their energies in a manner consistent with their enormous capabilities.

      Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the UN, Abdulaziz bin Mohamed al-Wasel, will lead the CSW's bureau into 2025, the first Saudi diplomat to do so since the CSW was created in 1946.
