“I am proud to be among the members of the International Geneva Gender Champions Initiative. There is still a lot to do to achieve gender parity and this initiative will hopefully be a forceful driver of change. As German Ambassador I will do what I can to contribute to that change.”

I, Hans-Joachim Daerr, support the GGC Panel Parity Pledge.

As the Permanent Representative of the Mission of Germany to the United Nations in Geneva, I commit to also undertake the following:

• Aim for all selection panels for open positions in the Mission to have gender balance, or if that is not feasible, ensure at the minimum that one panel member is female.
• Have all Senior Management take the Harvard University Project Implicit test and discuss the results.
