Except one thing, which we will celebrate, and that is the 75<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">That, we will celebrate. Apart from that, we will mark, we will commemorate, but we will not celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">Despite these milestones, the world is still a far cry from achieving gender equality and the full empowerment of all women and girls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">Here at the\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ,\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-IE\">it is imperative that we not only talk the talk but that we walk it,<b>\u00a0<\/b>by leading by example to ensure that women and girls meaningfully participate in all spheres of society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">As the President of the General Assembly and as a Gender Champion, I am committed to rendering much needed leadership for the United Nations to play its rightful role on this important matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">To that end, I have appointed Ambassador Keisha McGuire \u2013 who sits to my right \u2013 as my Special Envoy and Special Adviser on Gender Equality and Women&#8217;s Empowerment \u2013 who will work closely with each of you to coordinate the work of this Board on my behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">Allow me to also take this opportunity to recognize the stellar work and contributions of Ambassador Thilmeeza Hussain, as the coordinator of this Board during the 77<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">Friends, I have made dedicated effort to achieve gender equality within my office;

It is also disappointing that the percentage of women serving as Permanent Representatives in New York seems to have stalled around 25% for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">In this regard, I welcome your insights on how we might encourage Member States to nominate more women diplomats for leadership positions in the General Assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">I also see important contributions by this Advisory Board in creating an inclusive work environment at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">In particular, the training campaign on gender equality and the prevention of sexual harassment in partnership with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-Women, has yielded promising results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">During the 77<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Session, 44 Permanent Missions joined this initiative \u2013 and we aim to build on these efforts to reach many more Missions in New York and potentially in Geneva and elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">We do this because gender mainstreaming must \u2013 MUST \u2013 start with changing the mindsets in our own \u2018backyard\u2019 \u2013 here at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">The Board has also worked towards establishing an Emergency Day Care Centre at the United Nations Headquarters \u2013 to enable delegates and staff to strike a healthy and supportive work-life balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">In collaboration with the Secretariat, we eagerly anticipate that this session will see the realisation of this noble vision and critical initiative, as envisaged by my predecessor President Shahid of the 76<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">Indeed, we cannot achieve true gender equality in the workplace without flexible childcare solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">I look forward to learning from your wisdom to guide the work of the General Assembly in mainstreaming gender throughout our deliberations and programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">I firmly believe that, together, we can make great strides towards a more inclusive and gender-equal world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">I now pass the floor to Special Adviser on Gender Equality and Women\u2019s Empowerment, Ambassador Keisha McGuire, who will moderate the ensuing interactive discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-IE\">I thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remarks by H.E.
