When Jacinda Ardern brought her baby Neve to the United Nations for the 2018 General Assembly, then-New Zealand Prime Minister became an emblematic figure of modern women in politics. Her initiative was not only a photo opportunity, she also walked the walk: A few years later, her progressive government helped fund new lactation rooms at the UN headquarters in New York to make it easier for other new mothers to work.
But women attending the annual top rendezvous of diplomacy have remained a minority, and the UN General Assembly this year is no different. Out of about 145 leaders set to speak, only ten women heads of state and governments are expected to address the assembly this year, alongside a few women foreign ministers. “This perpetuates the cycle,” Susana Malcorra, a former foreign minister of Argentina and president of Global Women Leaders Voices, said.
In her speech before the UN, Novak appeared to position population growth as even more important than the climate crisis: “If there is no child, there will be no future,” she said: “What is the point of looking after the Earth if we don’t have children and grandchildren to pass it on to?” Another potentially controversial first-timer is Dina Boluarte, Peru’s first-ever woman president who took over from Pedro Castillo after his impeachment in December 2022.
