The Next United Nations Secretary-General: Time for a Woman

1945-2006: 3 Europeans, 2 Africans, 1 Latin American, 1 Asian, 0 Women
Equality Now has just launched a campaign that I thought you should know about
and join. The campaign highlights the election in 2006 of the next United
Nations Secretary-General, a post that has never been held by a woman in the
UN's sixty-year history. The campaign urges consideration of qualified women
candidates, of which there are many, and support for the election of a woman to
the United Nations' top position.To find out more about this campaign and what
you can do, please go to:
