How UN Women is championing global gender equality

Published

on

According to the United Nations, there’s a growing backlash against women’s rights around the world which are threatening well-established freedoms and protections.

Officials say what’s needed is a heightened commitment from the global community.

 
UN Women is the global champion for gender equality. While working to develop and uphold standards it also creates an environment in which every woman and girl can exercise her human rights and live to her full potential.

In 2015, United Nations Member States adopted the Sustainable Development Agenda, which set a 2030 deadline for the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.

Now, with just 7 years to meet that goal—the UN says the world is not on track.

The UN Women’s 2022 annual Gender Snapshot Report revealed that if change continues at its current rate, gender equality will remain unrealized for centuries to come.

The Iranian government responds as U.S. authorities detail claims of an assassination plot linked to the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In a significant development, Iran has broken its silence following allegations that an Iranian national was connected to a murder-for-hire plot aimed at former President Donald Trump.

The U.S. Department of Justice reported that Farhad Shakeri, 51, admitted to being directed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to carry out the assassination on October 7.

The case underscores heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, especially amid ongoing geopolitical disputes and U.S. sanctions on Tehran.

The Iranian government’s response, though measured, comes as observers highlight the serious nature of such allegations, emphasizing potential repercussions on international relations and security policies.

Analysts believe this could further strain already fragile diplomatic ties and potentially influence future talks on issues like nuclear agreements and regional security.

The situation remains fluid, with U.S. officials and global security experts closely monitoring Iran’s actions and the broader response to these claims.
