University employee takes part in UN Commission on the Status of Women

Suse B. Bentley, in the School of Education, has been selected to represent UK women at the 67th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

6 March 2023

The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women. During the Commission’s annual two-week session, representatives of UN Member States, civil society organizations and UN entities gather at UN headquarters in New York and online to discuss progress and gaps in the implementation of policies related to gender equality and the empowerment of women.

This year's priority theme for CSW67, which is taking place from 6-17 March, is innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.

Suse has been a delegate for UN Women UK at the CSW since 2021. At the university, she is part of the team that coordinates the School of Education's Curriculum Centre at Falmer campus, with a focus on increasing the range of diverse and inclusive resources available for use by education students, trainee teachers and staff. In addition to her work in the School of Education, Suse is a leadership coach for women and a gender equity champion.

"I'm so excited to again be a part of the UN Women UK delegation to CSW. Each year, getting involved in the two weeks of events, and seeing just how much incredible gender equity work is done globally, inspires me and boosts my own positivity and purpose on diversity and inclusion. It's particularly interesting to find out more about regional and cultural challenges to education for girls," says Suse.

UN Women UK's mission is to ensure every woman and girl has access to safety, choice, and a voice. UNICEF has reported that there are currently 129 million girls out of education worldwide, a particularly shocking number. Suse is looking forward to being part of the conversations on global change.

International Women's Day, 8 March 2023

On 8 March, the University of Brighton will be celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) by hosting a series of events which recognise the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This includes a book reading and Q+A with award-winning novelist Sheena Patel which will explore gender, race and power, hosted in partnership with University of Sussex.
