ICJW supports the aims of the United Nations to develop conditions for world peace, ensuring that all human beings may live in dignity and enjoy all fundamental human rights and freedoms as described in the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
ICJW is proud to have consultative status as a non-governmental organization (NGO) with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, and maintains permanent delegations in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Paris. This status enables ICJW to sit at the international table and to be heard in discussions on important issues, particularly ICJW's priority campaign issues. Our role is both to bring the voice of Jewish women into the committee rooms of the United Nations, and also to report on the discussions which take place there to our membership around the world.
ICJW supports the work of UN Women and is involved in the programming of the NGO Committee on the Status of Women in New York each year.
