In seven countries, there are no women represented in Cabinets at all. Meanwhile, only 23 per cent of ministerial positions are held by women.<\/p>\n<p>Women are also underrepresented as permanent representatives to the UN.<\/p>\n<p>As of May 2024, women held 25 per cent of senior ambassador posts in New York, 35 per cent in Geneva, and 33.5 per cent in Vienna.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur work is guided by the belief that when women lead, the world is better for all people and the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s equal participation in governance and leadership is key to improving lives for all,\u201d Bahous said.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, electing and appointing women in leadership positions signals strong political will for gender equality and demonstrates a collective commitment to tackling the challenges the world faces today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we prepare to mark 30 years since the passage of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the world\u2019s most progressive blueprint for advancing women\u2019s rights, UN Women continues to work to ensure women lead and thrive in shaping and driving positive change, including through occupying the most senior positions of power,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>NAN reports that in 1995, the Beijing conference built on political agreements reached at the three previous global conferences on women and consolidated five decades of legal advances aimed at securing the equality of women with men in law and in practice.<\/p>\n<p>It aimed at accelerating the implementation of the Nairobi Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women and removing all the obstacles to women\u2019s active participation in all spheres of public and private life through a full and equal share in economic, social, cultural, and political decision-making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of January 1, 2024, women make up less than a third of cabinet ministers in 141 countries In seven countries, there are no
