Gender equality is not about women’s rights; it is about human rights. By removing gender-based barriers and engaging men as allies, we can achieve gender equal societies, where everyone thrives.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I will keep promoting the Security Council Agenda on Women and Peace and Security, which is one of my country’s priorities during its term as a non-permanent member of the Security Council for 2025-2026, particularly given that Greece’s presidency of the Security Council in 2026 will be in October, coinciding with the WPS month.
I will actively promote the participation of women, including civil society representatives, in side-events organized by the Mission of Greece, especially during CSW70.
