Rejoice, rejoice women of the world, for the Nations That Wish to Be United have decided to amalgamate previous efforts in your name and create UN Women. And now Michelle Bachelet has been appointed to lead the synergistic combo. You can judge her for yourself by listening to her interview (22/Oct/10) with the BBC. I came away disappointed: she had to abruptly dash off half-way through the interview to attend to her male boss (Ban Ki-moon) leaving listeners and interviewer hanging (the 2nd half of the interview was later spliced in over the phone from Vietnam); she did not introduce us to her strategy for results; and her answers were just too mincing and tempered. Yes, a coagulator and harmoniser will be needed to create UN Women from its precedent parts, but a leader who'll get results is also required. Come on Michelle, suppressed women deserve someone who’ll kick ass on their behalf. So, let's see more of you in the role of Over-Secretary-General.
