A well-known symbol of UNOSZ, the Unitarian Women’s Association of Romania, is the “wandering tablecloth.” As the name indicates, the tablecloth “wanders” from one place to the next: from the site of the UNOSZ annual meeting and conference one year to the location of the following year’s event. The tablecloth is composed of embroidered triangles sewn together, made by and representing each local women’s association. Today, the tablecloth contains approximately 120 triangles.

As an organization in special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council, ICUUW earned the right to send delegates to the annual meetings of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in March.
