UN Women’s head says there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure the full empowerment, emancipation and recognition of women’s rights across the world

FORMER South African Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka’s time as the executive director of the United Nations Women and under secretary-general of the UN is coming to an end in three weeks time.

“We changed a lot of laws in order to make sure the women of the world live in countries where their rights are recognised and realised , but not everywhere do women get to live their full rights. Between 2018 to this year we changed 700 laws and we still have a long way to go. In their efforts to change laws, she said they had also had to work with traditional leaders in Africa which led to the formation of strong all African traditional leader organisations which was now making by-laws in their communities to end things such as child marriage, forced genital mutilation, to end violence against women and to force parents to keep children at school.

She added that one of their main focuses had been to extend the support for gender equality under the UN’s Generation Equality campaign stating that having only governments and civil society backing the campaign was a narrow base.
