Media personality Nomzamo Mbatha has been invited by the president of the General Assembly, Volkan Bozkir, to deliver a speech at the 75th General Assembly.
The UN is celebrating the 25th year since the first Womens Conference was held in Beijing, China.
The theme of the high-level meeting will be “Accelerating the realisation of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls”.
It will be opened by the secretary-general, the president of the General Assembly and executive director of UN Women Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka.
“It is an incredible honour to be a part of something so monumental.
“As a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, human migration is a global crisis that puts woman and girls in danger of so many social ills of society including being used as weapons of war.
“The genocide that is gender-based violence that continues to plague not only South African women but women on the continent as a whole is an urgent crisis”, said Nomzamo.
With the world being in the thick and middle of a pandemic, it threatened a lot of important events to be cancelled.
“The agenda can never be postponed. Equal rights for all women and girls remains a human rights crisis. Beijing +25 is necessary, urgent and a true call to action for all members of society and every sector to make Generation Equality a cornerstone.
“To make the necessary pledges to eradicating the discrimination against women and girls everywhere”, added the star.
Nomzamo has previously addressed at the UN headquarters at the Africa Dialogue.
