“The international community is a phrase used in international relations to refer to a broad group of people and governments of the world. The term is typically used to imply the existence of a common point of view towards such matters as specific issues of human rights.” https://www.google.com/#q=un+definition+of+international+community

Despite the frequency with which the phrase “international community” is used, its exact meaning is elusive, constantly changing, and in an overt or covert way male dominated through power, politics, funds and resources, and now often including private sector vested interests and the international financial institutions. The United Nations includes references to the “international community.” These days, there is often rhetoric of the “responsibilities and/or roles of the international community,” as to address multiple crises, such as hunger, security.

Where are the WOMEN in the regular and variable discourse about the “international community?” Their inclusion would likely refer to the powers noted above. The “international community” is NOT gender blind! WUNRN
