As World Leaders Gather at the U.N., the Push to Recognize Gender Apartheid Gains Ground

The useful part

Nearly 130 heads of state and government are expected to attend the United Nations General Assembly's high-level week in New York. It requires the international community to recognize gender apartheid for what it is: a crime against humanity. 22 to 28, world leaders will gather for the General Debate of the 81st session under the theme, "Restoring trust, managing transformation: a United Nations that delivers for all." For Afghan women and girls living under the Taliban's systematic oppression, whether the United Nations can deliver is not an abstract question.

Details worth keeping

22 to 28, world leaders will gather for the General Debate of the 81st session under the theme, "Restoring trust, managing transformation: a United Nations that delivers for all." For Afghan women and girls living under the Taliban's systematic oppression, whether the United Nations can deliver is not an abstract question. The support for recognizing forced marriage and reproductive violence, while stopping short of naming "gender apartheid," presents an opportunity for feminist organizations to continue advocating for the full breadth of gender-based oppression to be recognized by the United Nations.
