Commission on the Status of Women 67th Session
On March 6th, 2023, CLAN and @MATES4Kids’ held a hybrid Parallel Event at the UN Commission on the Status of Women 67th Session for NGOs. We once again partnered with Lehigh University to discuss ‘Newborn Screening: Responding to the urgent need to leverage existing technology for gender equality’, in accordance with the United Nations' primary theme of ‘Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls’.
The event brought together experts from around the world to highlight the importance of scaling Newborn Screening to achieve the Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs), and reduce gender inequalities affecting young girls living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in resource poor settings. Speakers from Australia, Austria, Indonesia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the United States of America and Zimbabwe participated, representing a broad range of NGOs and organisations working in the field of NBS and caring for children living with NCDs.
CLAN’s goal in engaging in CSW67 was to support the work of the @MATES4Kids (Maximising Access to Essential Supplies for Kids) movement, and highlight the urgent need to scale Newborn Screening (NBS) as part of a comprehensive and strategic approach to reducing the preventable mortality associated with childhood non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in resource poor countries, and thereby contribute to global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
