Pursuant to paragraph 41 of General Assembly resolution 77/335, I have reestablished the Advisory Board on Gender Equality as an informal mechanism to help mainstream a gender perspective across my priorities and the work of the General Assembly.
The Advisory Board on Gender Equality, includes representatives of Member States, the UN system, and relevant stakeholders to ensure synergies across the board and chart a transformative path that delivers for equality.

We all know the statistics:
Only,
➡️4 of the 78 PGAs have been women
➡️24 % of the Permanent Representatives in New York are women
➡️21 of the nearly 200 world leaders who took the floor at last year’s GA Debate were women.
From engaging with women Ambassadors to launching training campaigns, we’re committed to gender parity at the UN.
Let’s organize the General Assembly’s work with a continued focus on gender equality for impactful results.
