UN to tackle gender equality, chief calls it 'greatest' rights challenge

Over the past week, 190 countries addressed the United Nations General Assembly, nearly all of them represented by presidents, prime ministers and ministers. Only nine of them were women.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that women watching “have a perfect right to feel that they are not represented, and their voices are not valued.” He also told world leaders last week: “Gender inequality remains the greatest single challenge to human rights around the world.”
