Calls grow for a woman to lead the United Nations
Original: As the UN ponders its next secretary-general, many say it’s well past time for a woman to lead
As the United Nations begins weighing who should succeed António Guterres as secretary-general, growing numbers of diplomats, activists and commentators argue the organization should finally choose a woman for the top job. The UN has never had a female leader in its 80-year history, and several credible female candidates are being floated, fueling debate over whether member states will break with tradition in the upcoming selection.
Why now: The UN's process to select its next secretary-general is underway, reviving long-standing calls to appoint the first woman to the role.
