I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.
Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.
This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.
Our priorities at UNGA are simple:
➡️ A reset with the Global South.
➡️ A reset on the climate and nature emergency and restoring our leadership on international development.
➡️ Promoting security at home and abroad.
➡️ Boosting economic growth for the UK.
