As part of the 70th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), the global trade union movement organised the event “Reimagining Justice: Decent Work for Women”, a forum for dialogue that brought together trade union leaders, experts from international organisations and global trade union federations to discuss how to ensure access to justice for working women.

One of the highlights of the event was the speech by Catherine McKenna, president of the British trade union UNISON and PSI representative on the event’s second panel, who emphasised that effective access to justice for working women depends directly on strong public services and trade unions capable of defending workers’ rights.
