Gender equality is integral to all the #GlobalGoals, yet progress has been agonizingly slow. We need a robust feminist agenda to shift gears! #UNGA unwo.men/7Wav50GdSNh

At the opening of the General Debate of the 76th session of the #UNGA, Secretary-General @antonioguterres urged the world to take bold steps to transform our male-dominated world and shift the balance of power to solve the most pressing problems of our age.

Reality check: No country has achieved gender equality, nor is close to it.
During the 76th #UNGA let’s put women’s rights on the agenda and ask world leaders to step it up for women and girls.

From politics, to literacy, to wages and media representation, find out about the progress and remaining challenges for women and girls!

#OnThisDay in 1893, New Zealand became the first country in the world to grant women the right to vote in parliamentary elections!
We've come a long way for women's rights since then, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Any job is a woman's job, and women deserve #equalpay in every sector!

Careers have no gender, neither does the value of work.
#EqualPayDay is for ending systemic barriers that hold women back!

A woman’s payday shouldn’t be a reminder of an unjust world. On #EqualPayDay, take a closer look at the gender pay gap and what can be done to close it. unwo.men/vzi550GbaV4

@UN_Women
The global gender pay gap affects women in every country of the world.
For women of colour, immigrant women & women with children, the pay difference is even greater.
On #EqualPayDay, raise your voice with us to close the gap!

Restrictive, traditional gender roles create and sustain pay inequalities.
On #EqualPayDay, and every day, let's break the stereotypes.
1019
@UN_Women
Globally, the gender pay gap stands at 16%, meaning women workers earn an average of 84% of what men earn.
For women of colour, immigrant women and women with children, the difference is even greater.
On #EqualPayDay, join us in demanding #equalpay!

Societies that oppress women are far more likely to be violent and unstable.
Foreign policy should pay more attention to women's and girls' voices and needs.
