Alexandra Garita talks about the call to the UN to campaign for it to meet its commitment within 10 years. On the 54th session on the Status of Women she stresses the achievements and challenges by saying: “we have come a long way and still have a long way to go.” In her closing statement she calls on the importance of political will, that the commitment made by the International community for achieving gender equality and women's empowerment from Mexico to Beijing can only be met if the highest levels of power prioritize the achievement of these commitments.
