    Go behind the scenes at the Commission on the Status of Women, the United Nations’ largest annual gathering on gender equality.

    For two weeks every year, thousands of activists, government officials, academics and policy makers gather in New York City to take stock of progress on gender equality and chart a new roadmap forward. The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.

    In this behind-the-scenes look, follow four different CSW participants as they navigate the halls of the United Nations to engage in the Commission.

    Featuring:
    - UN Women Executive Director, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka
    - President of the National Institute for Women, Mexico, Nadine Gasman
    - Youth activist and NGO CSW’s 2019 Woman of Distinction, Gharsanay Ameen
    - UN Women Regional Goodwill Ambassador for Africa, Jaha Dukureh

    Around the world, women human rights defenders and women’s rights activists fight for the rights and freedoms of women and all individuals, every day. In the course of their work to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, these activists face violence, discrimination and intimidation. This International Women’s Day, UN Women stands in solidarity with the courageous women who are leading the fight, by amplifying their voices with innovative storytelling technology.

    These four virtual reality films, produced by Google with the support of UN Women and Vital Voices, give a glimpse into the experiences and struggles of four activists who are fighting to ensure no woman or girl is left behind.
