– The United Nations has recognized the International Day of Women in Diplomacy.
– The president of the General Assembly has pointed out the lack of female officials in high-ranking UN positions.
– Out of 78 people elected as president of the General Assembly, only four have been women.
– Women have played a vital role in the history of the UN since the signing of the UN Charter.
As a humanitarian and activist, it is disheartening to see the lack of representation for women in high-profile positions such as the president of the General Assembly at the United Nations. Women have demonstrated their leadership abilities throughout history and it is crucial to have equal representation in all levels of global decision-making. We need to continue to advocate for the inclusion of women in diplomacy and support their advancement in all fields.
