The United Nations has begun its search process to select a new secretary general, with the decision expected to be finalized before the end of this year.
Among the top contenders for the position is Michele Bachelet, who previously served as Chile’s president and currently holds the role of U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights. Bachelet has drawn attention for her strong advocacy positions on reproductive rights, supporting abortion access through all stages of pregnancy and advocating for government funding of such procedures globally.
Additionally, Bachelet has expressed support for transgender rights initiatives, including medical transition procedures for minors. The selection process for the UN’s top leadership position will continue throughout the coming months.
