    "content": "He reminded the delegates that the centuries of patriarchy discrimination have left damaging legacy. Sexist attitudes and stereotypes were decried and stated to be widespread in the message and the address by the Secretary-General. The private sector was not spared. It was noted that there are serious issues that occur there. Sexist attitudes and stereotypes affect technology, civil society and international organisations like the UN. He took cognisance of the fact that women were pioneering scientists and mathematicians but they occupied less than 30 per cent of research and development jobs worldwide. He further said that there are accomplished artists, writers, musicians and film makers. Despite this, he noted that 33 men took home academy awards but only six women took them in 2018. Women are gifted negotiators and communicators but at the UN, the proportion of women is 20 per cent only. He noted this about an organisation that he heads. He challenged the leaders to reverse such statistics to truly usher in a new era for women and girls."
