The UN’s largest annual forum dedicated to gender equality and women’s rights is taking place from 9-19 March.

This year’s 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is taking place alongside International Women's Day, and a key moment to reaffirm commitments and accelerate progress. The global community is at a critical juncture: advancing gender equality requires renewed political will, resources, and collective action to ensure that the rights of women and girls are protected and expanded everywhere. 

One simple but visible way to show support during CSW, and beyond, is by wearing a symbol of that commitment. 

Show your support with these exclusive UN Bookshop pins:
