Date:
UN Women Executive Director Sima Bahous will be conducting a four-day visit to Chile, where she will be engaging with government representatives, women’s civil society organizations, and the United Nations System to strengthen support and galvanize solidarity for women and girls in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The meetings undertaken during the mission will underscore Chile’s progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment while providing an opportunity to share recommendations on how UN Women’s work can be strengthened in the region.
