<p>The UK delegation to the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) was led by Lord
Ahmad of Wimbledon. Officials from FCDO and the Cabinet Office were also part of the
delegation. The UK does not include civil society and youth representatives on the
delegation, instead we hold regular briefing sessions with them to keep them updated.
The relationship that the Government delegation has with civil society representatives
at CSW is often held up as a model of good practice.</p><p>Some other visitors to
CSW from the UK are allowed to attend and are thus provided with delegate passes for
the purpose of access to the UN building. This year this included a number of parliamentarians,
a civil society speaker at one of our side events and a UN Women Youth delegate. We
do not, though, consider them members of the official HMG delegation.</p>
