Excellencies, colleagues and friends,
Today, I have the honor of meeting – albeit remotely – four formidable women leaders who strive for peace in their regions and countries.
Thank you for joining us as we mark both the 75th anniversary of the United Nations and 20 years since the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1325 that Melissa has referred.
That resolution was a landmark -- a ground-breaking step spearheaded by the women’s movement and women leaders.
