Queen Mathilde Pleads in New York for Protection of Human Life
Belgian Queen Mathilde addressed the UN General Assembly in New York, emphasizing that human life and dignity must be protected amidst ongoing armed conflicts affecting over 117 million people. She highlighted that while peace agreements are 35% more likely to succeed with meaningful female participation, women represented only 7% of global negotiators last year. As a Goodwill Ambassador for the Sustainable Development Goals, she argued that peace processes must prioritize giving women their rightful place rather than questioning their willingness to participate.
