Burhan Gafoor
Ambassador,
Permanent Mission of Singapore to the United Nations in New York
Singapore has always prioritised the development of our most valued resource - our people, both women and men - by providing them with equal opportunities to succeed in life. We are particularly committed to the advancement of women as integral and equal members of society. The establishment of the International Gender Champions network in New York is a positive step in our collective efforts to promote gender equality and women's empowerment.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
