UN Atomic Boss Achieves Gender Parity. Just Don't Call It DEI
The head of the United Nations atomic watchdog distanced himself from policies promoting diversity, equality and inclusion in the workplace even as he sought to promote the agency's successful efforts in hiring more women.
Rafael Mariano Grossi, a top candidate to become the UN's next secretary general, achieved gender parity at the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency in record time, adding hundreds of female scientists and technicians to the payroll over the last five years. Women now slightly outnumber men for the first time at the agency, best known for monitoring nuclear activities in global trouble-spots, ranging from Iran to Ukraine.
