In a historic moment for women's representation in global politics, Chile's former President Michelle Bachelet is set to break new ground at the United Nations. As the first woman to face ambassadors from the 193 member nations, Bachelet will participate in a three-hour question-and-answer session on Tuesday, marking a milestone in the U.N.'s efforts to promote gender equality. Bachelet, who served as the first female President of Chile from 2006 to 2010 and again from 2014 to 2018, will be one of only a few women to have held the position of head of state in Latin America. Her participation is expected to shed light on the region's challenges and opportunities, as well as her own experiences as a trailblazing female leader.
