## Resource

Guyana’s Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett is making history as the Caribbean’s first-ever UN Secretary-General candidate — and possibly the first woman ever to hold the role. Nominated by President Irfaan Ali and backed by CARICOM, she’s challenging the UN’s 80-year male-dominated legacy, where women — who make up half the world — have never led. With strong informal support from the Security Council and a bold vision to revamp the UN’s response to global crises, her campaign isn’t just about the job — it’s about rewriting the rules for leadership at the highest level.
