Statement of #Palau delivered by Ambassador Ilana Seid at the #CSW66 on March 17, 2022

 

Remarks by Ambassador Ilana Seid at the 66th Commission on the Status of Women. “I am happy to report that women in Palau are still much respected, our voices are still honored, and we continue to be active participants in our country. Today, a majority of Palau’s school principals, lawyers, Supreme Court judges, and bureau directors are women. 50% of our ambassadors are women. And female ambition is alive and well - last year all of the graduating valedictorians were all women. This is a demonstration that when women have a voice, when they are respected as individuals, when they are shielded from gender bias, and they are allowed to lead - they do."
