I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.
Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.
This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.

A really eye-opening conversation with Dr. Goodman. Definitely worth your time.
Is it forgetfulness, aging, or undiagnosed ADHD? @HopkinsMedicine’s David Goodman talks with @SDesmon about the importance of recognizing ADHD in adults and how diagnosis can change lives.
