Extreme poverty is on the rise and progress towards its elimination has reversed, while inadequate social protections leave women even more vulnerable.

Millions of women and children have fled #Ukraine for their lives.
They have lost their homes, jobs, families, and safety. That trauma goes on every day and has been repeated for a 100 days.
This war must stop now.

Around the world, many countries still have discriminatory laws that criminalize consensual same-sex relationships.
This #Pride, we have one thing to say:

@UN_Women
Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, rape culture flourishes.
Every time you hear a survivor’s story:
1-Listen.
2-Believe.
3-Support.
944
@UN_Women
Due to the surge of domestic violence reports during the #COVID19 lockdown, we must ensure that all information and services to support those experiencing violence continue to be accessible to women and girls with disabilities.
945
@UN_Women
[Trigger Warning]
The media has a fundamental role to play in stopping rape culture. All of us can also help by changing the narrative that places blame on victims and by using the power of language in service of survivors, not perpetrators.

What she means when she says no:
1. No.
Take consent seriously.

@UN_Women
Women in #Ukraine are increasingly becoming heads of households and leaders in their communities, yet they remain largely excluded from formal decision-making processes.
Women should be included in humanitarian, peace-making and negotiating efforts.

@UN_Women
The world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.
To get on track and achieve the #GlobalGoals, we need:
☑️ Bold commitment
☑️ Increased investments
☑️ Sufficient policy intervention
