我们相信，无论是非政府组织还是各国政府都通过妇女地位委员会最大限度地为实现共同的理想而努力，即建设一个平等、公正、和平的世界。妇女地位委员会作为一个国际机构积极推动实现这一崇高目标。但是，现在有一种尚未受到关注的趋势，即某些人想把关于妇女问题的讨论仅仅局限在妇女地位委员会的范畴之内，并进一步对委员会的工作设置障碍。把关于全世界一半人口需要和关切问题的讨论限制在某一联合国论坛的范畴之内是没有道理的。这样做就等于把全世界一半人口排除在每一次会议和每一个方案之外。我并不是说不再需要专门机构和方案特别关注妇女的需要（由联合国来领导妇女和女童进步仍然很关键），但同样需要承认妇女在全球范围内作为有效的领导者、决策者、和平缔造者、社区和家庭建设者、及发展促成者的价值。性别问题应该纳入所有的国家和国际进程。两性平等应成为所有讨论和计划不可或缺的组成部分，即在所有进程、国际
At CSW, NGOs and governments alike come closest, we believe, to a shared vision of a world where equality, justice and peace are possible. CSW is an international force working towards that noble end. But there has been an unacknowledged movement on the part of some to ghettoise this Commission, corral all discussions regarding women into the sphere only of CSW and in addition, to stymie its efforts. There is no logic in restricting discussion on the needs and concerns of half the world’s population on any matter to one UN forum: to do so excludes half the world’s population at each meeting and in every programme. This does not mean there is no further need for specific attention, specific agencies and programmes to meet women’s needs – it remains vital that the UN champions the advancement of women and girls – but what is also required is the proper recognition of the value of women as effective leaders and decision-makers, peace creators, community and family builders and shapers of development - globally. The issue of gender should be included in every national and international process.
