The Priority Theme for the 62nd Session of the Commission on the Status of Women is Fostering social development and social justice through social policies to accelerate progress on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to achieve the overarching goal of poverty eradication.

In this side event we will hear from the voices of young women and experts in the fields of small business, public policy, and academia, and learn from their experiences as they relate to the intersectional impacts of poverty. They will also provide their policy recommendations for their government and world leaders, especially policies that are based on the principles of social justice.
