We have now hit March and that means it is officially Women's History Month. From the 1st to the 31st of this month many countries in the world will take part in highlighting and reflecting on the many contributions women have made throughout history and to our current society.
Bungie has always been an extremely progressive company and almost every year they have run a charity event to give certain groups of people a voice or to give to those less fortunate. In 2019 we had the Bungie Pride event where the Destiny 2 community could purchase a special pin from the Bungie.net store with 100% of the profits going to the It Gets Better Project. In 2020, during the height of the Black Lives Matter protests, Bungie released another pin for purchase and again, 100% of the profits went to a good cause at the Equal Justice Initiative.
In keeping with tradition, this year Bungie has decided to take part in celebrating International Women's Day on March 8 and has another special pin for preorder on their store page. Bungie has stated that like the previous pins 100% of the profits from this pin will go directly to organisations combatting the patterns of historic discrimination, harassment, and abuse of women as well as to helping women pursue careers in the gaming and tech industry. For the month of March, these profits will go to AnitaB.org.
As a little bonus Bungie is also offering an exclusive in-game emblem for Destiny 2 that is included with every purchase of the above Woman’s Day pin. The code for this emblem will be sent out later in the month.
All of the above pins are still in stock and available for purchase with 100% of the profits still being directly donated.
