Violence against women in politics marks ‘moral and ethical failure’ - General Assembly President; United Nations News, March 15, 2022

United Nations News ; Violence against women in politics marks ‘moral and ethical failure’ - General Assembly President

As a former Parliamentarian, and a lifelong politician, violence against women in politics is an issue near to my heart. It is a moral and ethical failure on us as a society,” said the President of the General Assembly, Abdulla Shahid, whose office organized the event on the sidelines of the Commission on the Status of Women. 

The event brought together Vice-Presidents, Government Ministers and senior officials from more than 20 UN Member States – some of whom spoke from personal experience about the barriers to running for office as a woman candidate."
