WhatpercentageofUNAmbassadorsarefemale?

Looking worldwide, today there are eight women ambassadors serving as their countrys
Permanent Representatives at the United Nations (UN) in New York. These numbers
are lower than in 2002, when there were 11. Seen against the background of 189 United
Nations member countries, it means a little more than three percent of UN ambassadors
are women.
