A necessary condition to carry out these objectives is integration on equal terms of almost half the world population: women. The Tenth Anniversary of Resolution 1325, "Women, Peace and Security", should bring us to consolidate gender equality in the public and institutional scopes, as well as in the economic, social and cultural spheres. We can and must make progress in these reforms, because there are positive signs such as the recent creation of UN Women, which will carry out this mandate under President Michelle Bachelet, whom I wish to congratulate for her election to lead this new entity.
