Our world is facing challenges on every front. The United Nations has never been more needed. Our values have never been more relevant… And the needs have never been greater. The UN80 Initiative... is about better serving people whose very lives depend on us... ensuring the right conditions for everyone serving under the UN flag. The need is great and the goal is clear. — ANTÓNIO GUTERRES

"We must support women’s organisations on the front line", declared the Secretary-General António Guterres in his message for International Women's Day. "And we must invest in programmes to end violence against women, and to drive women’s inclusion and leadership in economies, digital technologies, peacebuilding and climate action."
