Quotations

“What is needed is a Secretary-General with the commitment and determination to press the UN to deliver on its many unimplemented gender equality promises, and not to abandon the women’s empowerment agenda when it becomes politically uncomfortable—which it often does.  In other words, we need a woman and a feminist.” (50.50, March 8, 2016; photo sps.nyu.org)
