Gender equality and women’s rights are issues close to my heart. For us to effectively tackle problems of today and the future, we must ensure that women have a seat at the table.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I commit to promote women’s full, equal, and meaningful participation within the Mission and foster a workplace where women feel valued and empowered, including by mentoring Mission team members.
I commit to challenge gender stereotypes and speak up against discrimination, harassment, and unfair treatment whenever it arises, including by supporting related initiatives at the Human Rights Council.
