Statement of MADAGASCAR at UNGA73

Advocacy for women and girls cannot be left out. We cannot ignore the deplorable conditions in which many women live in the world, not to mention violence in all its forms, perpetrated in the name of gender. Girls and women remain the centrality of the future of humanity.

It is therefore necessary to collectively condemn injustices, modern slavery, trafficking of human beings and child labor which affect, inter alia, women and girls. Let us give ourselves the means to improve the whole of humanity by watching over our mothers, our sisters and daughters, to whom we must concede an equitable sharing of responsibilities.

Thus, since 2014 to date, we have built 24 CARMMA (or Center for Acceleration of the Reduction of Maternal and Child Mortality), [and] 315 Basic Health Centers.
