On the opening day of the 60th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on Monday, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General warned with the current pace, the equal participation of females would take decades.
To change this scenario and achieve the equity reflected in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, we must change the way of doing things; business, the treatment to nature, the situation of sexual and reproductive rights, among others, she said.
The 60th session of the CSW, a body created in 1946 to promote the empowerment of women on the planet, began on Monday two weeks of work focused on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
Mlambo-Ngcuka pointed out the inclusion in that progress platform, adopted last September, of the gender equality and objectives to solve problems with a particular impact on women, such as poverty and lack of access to education and health.
That is why this event is important to find ways aimed at implementing that agenda regarding women, she said.
