On March 9 at UN Headquarters, Claudia Flores, chair of the UN Working Group on Discrimination Against Women and Girls, opened the 70th Commission on the Status of Women, warning of a persistent gap between advocates' expectations and states' implementation. The commission adopted draft Agreed Conclusions with 37 votes in favor; the United States opposed and six states abstained, stressing need to translate guidance into action.
