The United Nations headquarters in New York was visited last night for a long historic inauguration, the new organization of UN Women. The Infanta Doña Cristina, as president of the Institute of Health in Barcelona, attended the birth of the new body. In front of the UN Entity for Gender Equality of Women, which brings together four organs of the existing UN is the former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet, who drew applause with his speech at the ceremony to remember his career: "My own experience has shown that there are limits to what a woman can get," he said.
Also spoke at the gala secretary general Ban Ki-moon, who promised to help the new agency "every way possible and with every ounce of energy and commitment." The Infanta Cristina, meanwhile, urged in his speech to conceive of investment in women's development and benefits for their families, communities and countries, since, as noted, the woman is "a key agent of change" for the society.
Bachelet warm engine the day before the opening to deliver a speech at a summit on women held in UN headquarters, called the Commission on the Status of Women and will last until March 4. For the first woman to become president of Chile, the world has too many women who are victims of human trafficking who are forced to leave school and marry early and often against their will.
All of them have no laws to protect them. "Inequality between men and women and discrimination impede progress in the development, peace, security, and compliance with human rights," Bachelet said during the summit, which this year will touch issues such as girls' access education and eradication of violence and discrimination against smaller ones.
The first executive director of UN Women has pledged to focus their work on increasing the voice of women in the areas of leadership and fight to end violence against women. UN Women's agency was created in June 2010 by the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki Moon, to consolidate four UN agencies dedicated to the advancement and welfare of women, but the organization began its work in January.
Bachelet said the agency is still looking to recruit staff and resources. The UN member states unanimously agreed to create the new organization in response to the constant demands of activists for the rights of women. One of the criticisms already made to UN Women is that some of the countries that comprise the organization are the very states that do not respect the rights of women.
Bachelet ended in March last year of his presidency in Chile with one of the highest popularity ratings of the country's history. The rights of women was one of the issues he fought during his presidency. UN reports that the new organization will work with a budget of 500 million dollars a year and called for nations that supported its creation are committed to invest more.
The new agency integrates into a single entity to specialized agencies like the UN Fund for Development of Women (UNIFEM), UN Division for the Advancement of Women and the International Research and Training Institute for the Promotion of Women and the Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues.
