Agda Rössel, from @SwedenUN, was the 1st female Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

That was during the 13th session of the #UNGA in 1958.

oh, and the women of Afghanistan are not forgotten; they are one of the priorities at the top of the Security Council's list:

Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD - Ireland's #UNSC membership is a responsibility entrusted to us by #UNGA.

We take this seriously, including on crises such as:
#Syria
the conflict in #Tigray, Ethiopia
Middle East Peace Process
the rights of women & girls in #Afghanistan pic.twitter.com/1DPt3zTKUv
