Magnus Hellgren
Ambassador, Permanent Representative,
Permanent Mission of Sweden to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva
I stand for gender equality in my life and in my work. Equal rights and opportunities for all is fundamental for our societies, economies, health, peace and prosperity. Significant progress has been made, but now is the time to step up the efforts towards a truly gender equal world.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Encourage Geneva headquartered partner organizations to promote gender balance and work-life balance at all levels, and request regular updates on plans and resources allocated to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment.
Promote gender transformative approaches and follow-up in partner organizations’ normative and operational work, and integrate key messages related to women’s rights, gender and diversity; sexual and reproductive health and rights; women, peace and security; and combating sexual and gender based violence, in all relevant work of the Mission.
