Personal Commitments
I remain committed to the organizational objective of achieving gender parity by 2028 while adhering to the principles of the System-Wide Action Plan on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (UN-SWAP) and to our own organization’s Gender Parity Strategy. To achieve this longer-term objective, I will strengthen our efforts to retain more women and underrepresented groups by making UNICC a more inclusive workplace.
I remain committed to the organizational objective of achieving gender parity by 2028 while adhering to the principles of the System-Wide Action Plan on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (UN-SWAP) and to our own organization’s Gender Parity Strategy. To achieve this longer-term objective, in 2025, I will redouble our focus on recruiting women, in particular from underrepresented parts of the world, into UNICC’s workforce. We will endeavor that a majority of externally advertised positions are filled by candidates from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups.
