The Daily briefing for trade union delegates to the 56 th session of the UNCSW reported on previous days lobbying activities / advocacy work, with their respective member countries. Delegates acknowledged movement and agreement in some areas in terms of the priority themes but also indicated there was much work to be done. Reports included information shared at regional caucuses, NGO briefings and parallel events attended by delegates. Women were enthusiastic about the progress made and are looking forward to the support of the proposed revised conclusions, reinforcing the three priority themes:
1. The empowerment of rural women and the role in poverty and hunger eradication, development and current challenges, after eradication.
2. Review theme financing for gender equality and empowerment of women.
3. Emerging issue engaging young women and men, girls and boys, to advance gender equality.
