Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday stressed on the need for having more women in decision-making leadership for an effective solution to the world’s crises, reports UNB.
“Women are disproportionately affected during crises. It is, therefore, important to integrate women in decision-making for finding an effective solution to the crises,” she said.
The prime minister was addressing a high-level meeting of the UNGA Platform of Women Leaders Convened by the President of the General Assembly Csaba Kőrösi at the Trusteeship Council in the United Nations Headquarters.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Transformative Solutions by Women Leaders to Today’s Interlinked Challenges.”
Sheikh Hasina said women are shining in each and every sector, breaking all the stereotyping and showing indomitable courage and leadership skills.
She added it is high time to utilise the network (UNGA Platform of Women Leaders) to share views on tackling the complex global challenges and bring positive outcomes not only for our respective countries but also for mankind.
