True! The #PRC distorts the #UNGA resolution 2758 to keep #Taiwan out of the entire #UN system & now abuses it to legitimize the use of force against us. This violates the most fundamental tenets of the UN Charter. The world should say NO to it. JW twitter.com/GlobalStratVie…

We’ve come a long way for gender equality.
Yet, progress has been too slow.
It’s on all of us who are part of #GenerationEquality to keep the pressure on our leaders to realize women’s rights! #UNGA

@UN_Women
Reality check: We are in 2022 and yet no country has achieved gender equality, nor is close to it.
During #UNGA 77 let’s put women’s rights on the agenda and ask world leaders to step it up for women and girls EVERYWHERE.
