Описание: Global health advocate, diplomat and humanitarian Stephen Lewis confronts the ways in which gender inequality is reflected in the panels of the United Nations that are meant to help women (spoiler alert: they’re mainly men). In this bracingly funny and honest talk, he advocates for equality in the corridors of power.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
