For some women, the most dangerous place is their own home.
56% of female homicide victims in 2021 were murdered by their intimate partner or a family member.
Violence against women & girls can and must be prevented!

Afghan women and girls remain the country’s greatest untapped resource.
There cannot be durable peace or stability in #Afghanistan if women are banned from equally participating in the life of their country. #IWD2022

We are gravely concerned by the developments in #Afghanistan.
Together with @unwomenchief we call on the de facto authorities to IMMEDIATELY restore women’s and girls’ freedom of movement, right to work and access to all education.

6 months into the war in #Ukraine, women continue to play a vital role in the humanitarian response. Yet women are not fully included in formal decision-making at ALL levels.
Women's leadership and equal voice is essential to reflect their needs, protect lives and build peace.

Today we remember Marielle Franco, born #OnThisDay.
She was a Brazilian politician, feminist & human rights activist who spoke out for minorities in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, and was assassinated in 2018.
As her courage continues to inspire us, she will always be with us.
