The Senior Women Talent Pipeline
Supporting gender parity
“Women’s equal leadership and participation are fundamental. Now is the time for gender parity in governments, parliaments, corporate boards and institutions everywhere (…) Over the next two years, I intend to deepen my personal commitment to highlighting and supporting gender equality in all areas of our work.”
-Secretary-General, António Guterres
The goal of reaching gender parity at all levels at the United Nations is a commitment that is now two decades old and is reflective of core values that are as old as the Organization itself
