Trinidad and Tobago also supports the important role of United Nations specialized agencies and bodies and the role they play in gender-mainstreaming initiatives and the promotion of women. In this regard, we are particularly encouraged by the establishment of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the empowerment of Women (UN Women), and we congratulate Michelle Bachelet on her appointment as Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the Entity. Additionally, we have made annual contributions to the United Nations Children's Fund and, in the past, to the United Nations Development Fund for Women.
