Fighting for a woman at the helmThe UN’s next Secretary General would take office in January 2027.
“There’s always lots of men that want to run,” said Ben Donaldson, head of campaigns at the United Nations Association of the United Kingdom.
“It’s not so much about talking about a Julie or Anne, or Mary, it is more about talking about a Madame Secretary General as a general proposition, and then making sure that we pave the way to get there,” she said.
“I believe that men should run next time around as I believe women should run in their numbers,” he said.
