Statement of ESTONIA at UNGA73

“I am deeply touched by the misery that war and conflict bring, whether it's talking with internally displaced women and children in occupied Eastern Ukraine.”

“Recent gender equality movements like HeForShe have come a long way to counter genderbased and sexual violence. Gender equality is at the very heart of human rights. This in mind, Estonia works actively in the Commission on the Status of Women. I have gladly accepted Secretary General Guterres' invitation to co-chair the High-Level Steering Group for Every Woman Every Child for the next two years.”
