CSW70 in focus
Colourful illustration of diverse women protesting in front of a classical-style building with columns. A woman speaks into a megaphone, another holds a sign reading “Equality” with a gender symbol, and another raises her fist. A scale symbol appears above the entrance as one woman walks up the steps. The group includes women of different ages and abilities, including a woman using a wheelchair and another using a cane, while others speak with uniformed officials at a desk.
