Equal participation of all women and girls in every walk of life is an imperative, not a choice. All structural, social and legal barriers must be removed everywhere, not just in words, but in real action. 

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I will launch a targeted mentorship program to enhance leadership capacity for women in my office, ensuring that all women at the P5 level and above participate by the end of 2025.
As Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), I commit to advocating for and embedding gender equality as a core principle in the implementation of the Programmes of Action for LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS. I will ensure that all support programs prioritize the rights and needs of women and girls, fostering inclusive and equitable development for all.
