About 1,800 people gathered to mark International Women’s Day at the United Nations on March 8th. “The United Nations is proud to stand with women and girls everywhere in breaking down the barriers that hold all of us back,” Mr. Courtenay Rattray, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres’s Chef de Cabinet, said on behalf of the Secretary General. “Together, let’s realize a more inclusive, just, and prosperous world for women and girls, men and boys, everywhere.”
