Statement of THE REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS at UNGA73

Participation:

“As the first woman head of state or government in the independent Pacific islands region, it is vital that the UN accelerate efforts to ensure that all women- and especially our youngest generation- must see that they have a rightful role at all levels of decision making, including the highest levels of political leadership and economic development. As women- we are, after all half the world's population, and we are not yet fully reflected in the ranks of global leaders.”
