Excellencies,<\/p>\n

Dear scientists,<\/p>\n

It is an honor to join you all for this 7th<\/sup> International Day for Women and Girls in Science.<\/p>\n

The inclusive and diverse representation of women scientists here in this meeting is in itself an achievement and inspiration.<\/p>\n

I commend the Royal Academy of Science International Trust, the Permanent Missions, UN Agencies and affiliations, for their tireless efforts and support in putting together this event.<\/p>\n

Excellencies,<\/p>\n

The evolution of science has benefited from the contribution of women in many areas.<\/p>\n

It was the contribution of women that led to breakthroughs for new medicine and new health prospects.\u00a0 It was women that were among the many firsts in space, discovering planets and new frontiers. And it was the work of women that revolutionized digital advancement.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that the achievements of women have been nothing less than extraordinary.<\/p>\n

In recognizing these achievements, we acknowledge impeding factors at play for women and girls in science.\u00a0 The deeply rooted and unacceptable gender inequalities that impede women and girls in science to prosper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is not only a tragedy for the millions of girls who aspire to be scientists, but a loss for a world in need of their talents, their creativity, their genius, and their drive.<\/p>\n

Which is why we are here today. To promote the engagement of women and girls in science. To spotlight the barriers of gender inequality that discourage women and girls to freely pursue their goals and ambitions, including in the fields of science.<\/p>\n

Because it is unacceptable that women are still underrepresented in science.<\/p>\n

It is unacceptable that only 33% of global researchers are women. That despite their breakthroughs, to date, only 23 of the 631 Nobel Prizes in science have gone to women.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And it is morally unacceptable that women are still paid less than their counterparts, despite having the same qualifications and skills.<\/p>\n

As a global citizen, I am embarrassed that this continues to form part of society.<\/p>\n

As a leader, positioned to elicit change, I am committed to use every platform and opportunity to advocate for gender equality, to ensure that more women and girls are given the opportunity to excel, and break glass ceilings.<\/p>\n

Excellencies,<\/p>\n

The selection of today\u2019s theme \u201cEquity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Water Unites Us\u201d is timely and fitting.<\/p>\n

There are 2.2 billion people around the world reported to lack access to safe water.<\/p>\n

When thinking about water, gender is probably the last thing on many people\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n

In many developing countries, women are the de facto water decision makers in households.<\/p>\n

And its a fact that the entire chain of water management, whether it is technology choices, decision making, implementation, benefits and risks are all gendered.<\/p>\n

As the world\u2019s population grows and climate change intensifies water scarcity, women are key to providing more sustainable access to this finite resource.<\/p>\n

Coming from a small island state, I know too well the severity of a water crisis.\u00a0 The challenges of brackish and unsafe drinking water brought on by the effects of climate change are real and life threatening.<\/p>\n

Engaging more women and girls in science can help multiply breakthroughs and alleviate water scarcity.<\/p>\n

Research suggests that when women are involved in the management of water resources, their communities get measurably better outcomes including better-functioning water systems, expanded access, and economic and environmental benefits.<\/p>\n

Excellencies,<\/p>\n

As we celebrate women and girls in science, let us recognize those women and girls who are working to address water-related challenges. From ensuring safe drinking water, to providing proper sanitation, to addressing issues of water around agriculture or climate change.<\/p>\n

And let us ensure that every woman and girl has the opportunity to learn and excel in the fields of science. We need more minds working on our common problems, not fewer!<\/p>\n

Education is integral to this. By putting in place the right systems and institutions, by ensuring that they are open and accessible, we empower women and girls.<\/p>\n

For a young girl who aspires to search for signs of water on the moons of Jupiter, or who aims to explore the depths of the Ocean, or who is committed to solving community water shortages, education can take a daydream and turn it into an ambition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Education allows young women and girls the chance to help shape our shared goals for a greener and bluer future, including around SDG 6 for clean water and sanitation.<\/p>\n

As President of the UN General Assembly, I am committed to supporting women and girls in any way, including in providing pathways for women and girls who aspire for a career in science, who aspire to follow in the footsteps of many successful women scientists.<\/p>\n

Excellencies,<\/p>\n

Improving education, and in turn the engagement of women and girls in science, is a collective responsibility.\u00a0 One that urges national governments, the international community and key stakeholders to mobilize a whole-of-society approach for inclusive and equal learning spaces.<\/p>\n

Let us work together to ensure more women and girls are given the opportunity to innovate, invent and inspire in the fields of science.<\/p>\n

To world leaders, the international community, civil societies, and the private sector, I call on each of you to raise your commitments and support on this front.<\/p>\n

To women scientists and aspiring girls in science – Keep doing what you do. Keep breaking grounds for others to follow. Keep pursuing your goals and dreams.<\/p>\n

And as you do, rest assured I will keep doing all I can – to ensure women and girls in science can thrive freely and equally.<\/p>\n

I wish you all a productive and successful discussion.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n

Excellencies, colleagues,<\/p>

I welcome you all to our second meeting and our first interaction following the resumed part of the session.<\/p>

Before I begin, I would like to recognize the loss of our dear friend and esteemed colleague, Ms. Gail Farngalo.<\/p>

A Liberian national, Gail was my Team Leader for Human Rights and was active on gender during both the 75th<\/sup> and 76th<\/sup> sessions. She leaves behind a legacy of achievements and a groundswell of respect and affection from across the UN and diplomatic communities. Her presence is certainly felt here today.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

When I took on this Presidency of Hope, I pledged to make gender equality a priority area for the 76th<\/sup> session. I continue to look to the board for its wisdom and expertise, as I endeavour to fulfil that pledge.<\/p>

In this regard, I have already benefited from the board\u2019s advice, from when we met on October 28th<\/sup> last year.<\/p>

Acting on that advice, I committed to ensuring that all my five rays of hope, and all my major initiatives, are approached with a gender lens.<\/p>

I made sure that the composition of my office is gender-balanced.<\/p>

I have committed to participating only in panels that have equal gender representation.<\/p>

Throughout my official interactions and travels, I have endeavoured to meet with women, including heads of states and governments, scientists, civil society representatives, and youth.<\/p>

And I am proud to inform you that five young women have been recruited into the Fellowship for HOPE<\/em> that my office recently launched. The Fellowship as you are well aware is targeted at benefiting young diplomats from underrepresented countries, pursuing careers in diplomacy or public service.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

While recognizing that we have a long way to go in the battle for gender-equality, I am proud of what my team has been able to accomplish within the past few months.<\/p>

Our work continues.<\/p>

We will continue to raise our voices on issues disproportionately impacting women, such as domestic violence and work place harassment. We will continue to push the importance of gender-equal work spaces.<\/p>

And we will continue to find new paths to empower young women with ambitious professional aspirations.<\/p>

Now is not the time to rest on our laurels.<\/p>

With the board\u2019s guidance and support, we must use the many opportunities over the coming months to further empower women and girls, and dismantle discriminatory practices against them.<\/p>

There are several upcoming events that will provide us such opportunities. I look forward to the board\u2019s suggestions on how we can best utilize them.<\/p>

As an example, the International Day of Women and Girls in science is fast approaching. We must recognize that women\u2019s contributions in science and technology have helped us cure diseases; discover new horizons in space; and develop technologies that have vastly improved our quality of life.<\/p>

As we celebrate their achievements, we must also open pathways for young girls who aspire to follow in the footsteps of pioneers in science and technology.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

Let us also reflect that the theme chosen by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women for this year is on \u201cachieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes\u201d.<\/p>

As we strive to meet our obligations to the planet, let us recognize the important work done by women and girls at the forefront of the climate crisis, and whose humanitarian work in disaster-stricken areas has helped save lives and rebuild communities. We owe it to them to not only celebrate their work but to support them.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

Our programme of work for the months ahead has been circulated to members prior to the meeting, for consideration and feedback. Please note that the events we have planned are not exhaustive. I welcome further suggestions from the board on the content and format of future events and activities.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

We have made much progress within a short while. And with the board\u2019s support and guidance, I am sure that we can keep up this strong momentum.<\/p>

I look forward to working alongside all of you to achieve our vision of a gender-equal world.<\/p>

Thank you.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[550,604,583,556,601,553],"committee-meeting":[],"class_list":["post-257704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches","tag-ga","tag-oca","tag-our-common-agenda","tag-pga","tag-sg","tag-shahid","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\n7th 'International Day of Women and Girls in Science' Assembly -
