More than 100 Anglican women representing 37 provinces of the Anglican Communion are gathered in New York for the current 50th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) meeting, which opened last Friday.

The event, which will run until March 8, was officially opened by a special Eucharist service held in the UN chapel Friday.

The delegates will focus on gender equality and the advancement of women in the fields of education, health, and employment, as well as the increased participation of women and men in decision-making processes at all levels.
