Secretary-General's remarks at the “She Stands for Peace” book launch

Abstract

Secretary-General's remarks at the “She Stands for Peace” book launch. He emphasized on his speech at the book launch that, This book was published in close cooperation with the African Union Commission and features an enormous variety of women: from rural villages and cities; from privileged upbringings and from humble backgrounds. We need to do more to challenge and shift the overall power dynamics in society. For example, we need more women presidents, parliamentarians, hedge fund managers and CEOs. Also like the book, we are investing in our young women. We are listening to them through dialogue channels ahead of our 75th Anniversary and through the Decade of Action and the Beijing+25 Action Coalitions.
