UN Geneva Director-General shares her perspectives.

Tatiana Valovaya, was appointed Director-General of the United Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG) a little over two years ago. The first woman to hold the top-spot at UNOG, Tatiana is a vocal advocate for gender equality and women’s empowerment. She is breaking boundaries in many ways.

At the end of the 76th United Nations General Assembly in September 2021, everyone shared the same concerns and unwavering commitment to overcome a growing array of global challenges. While a great deal was discussed, a clear set of issues arose time and again, with multilateralism emerging as the unifying solution for a more sustainable, resilient world.

Advocating this new type of multilateralism is Tatiana Valovaya, the Director-General of the United Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG). A key priority for the UNOG Head will be the implementation of the UN’s Global Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We sat down with Ms Valovaya to discuss development, multilateralism, all things gender, and much more.
