<i>Rights of women</i>
The United Nations has earmarked 8 March as International Women's Day. Charity begins at home! If at least 50 per cent of the positions at the United Nations headquarters are occupied by women, starting with the president of the UNGA, secretary-general, security council members, general assembly representatives, then it would cause worldwide trickle-down effect. The UN headquarters is located at UN plaza, New York. The United States of America is the largest economy and the most powerful nation-state in the world. This trickle-down effect would enable the US women to hold positions in the White House, Old Executive Office Building, Capitol Hill, Supreme Court, Federal Reserve Board, Department of Treasury, Department of State, Department of Defence, National Security Council, National Security Agency, National Intelligence, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, US Secret Service, Internal Revenue Service, Immigration & Naturalisation Service etc. in equal numbers.
