Michelle Bachelet, who in 2002 became Chile's first female defense minister and four years later the country's first female president, has never shied from challenging the status quo. Now the first head of U.N. Women, the three-month-old U.N. agency for gender equality and female empowerment, Ms. Bachelet is doing it again -- this time turning some traditional notions of feminism on their head.

She seems like a force to be reckoned with, in a serious manner. I certainly hope that is the case and she brings our world forward with her.

Looks like she's got nothing going for her so the less she speaks the better

"Taking the Gender Fight Worldwide"

Gee, sounds great.

"UN Women is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide. "

Okay, if "gender equality" is their goal, they need to back off in the western democracies because they've won and they've been infringing on the rights of males.

They want to be the champions of the female gender exclusively, in developing countries and subjugate the male gender - it will take them only one generation to accomplish this. They've stacked the deck and they have the momentum. False rape accusations are the best weapon.
