Watch: 'Me Too must become We Too' says New Zealand PM Ardern at UN

Gender equality and climate change were at the heart of the speech by New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.

On gender equality, Ardern said, "We still have a gender pay gap, an over-representation of women in low paid work and domestic violence." "And I for one will never celebrate the gains we have made for women domestically while internationally other women and girls experience a lack of the most basic of opportunities and dignity. Me Too must become We Too. We are all in this together."

Ardern also said climate change is "the single, biggest threat to the security in the Pacific" and listed her nations efforts to combat the effects of rising sea levels.
