“UNITAR recognizes that women’s equality and empowerment is good politics, good economics, good for social inclusion and an important way of ensuring peaceful and just societies.”

I, Nikhil Seth, support the GGC Panel Parity Pledge.

As Executive Director of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), I commit to also undertake the following:

• Monitor and annually report gender disaggregated statistics from UNITAR training activities and achieve equal participation of men and women in non-peacemaking training activities.
• Strengthen UNITAR’s cooperation with UN Women and scale up the activities of the Women’s Leadership Programme.
