Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay!
#IndigenousWomen are keepers of scientific environmental and cultural knowledge.
Their right to self-determination and control of ancestral lands is key to preserving traditional knowledge.

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

Since August 2021, the basic rights of women & girls in #Afghanistan have suffered a drastic reversal.
UN Women continues to support and amplify the voices of diverse Afghan women leaders. We are on the ground in Kabul and committed to stay & deliver.

@UN_Women
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.

@UN_Women
🚨What is happening in #Afghanistan is an alarm bell for us all. 🚨
It shows how decades of progress on gender equality and women’s rights can be wiped out in months.
The fight for women’s rights in Afghanistan is a global fight, and a battle for women’s rights everywhere.

@UN_Women
We urge the de facto authorities in #Afghanistan to revoke all decisions and policies that restrict the rights of women and girls.
We all must - and will - continue to elevate the voices of Afghan women and girls.

Women and girls...
go to work
go to school
take walks
ride bikes
go travelling
feel the sun on their face.
❌ Not in #Afghanistan.
Afghan women want, what everyone wants: to live lives of their choosing in peace.

@UN_Women
We need a world where women's rights are respected.
Strong legal frameworks must be put in place to advance gender equality in all areas.

@UN_Women
Educating girls is one of the most powerful equalizers on the road to gender equality.
Let girls study today and lead tomorrow in #Afghanistan and everywhere in the world.

❌ Refusing to accept systemic exclusion from public life.
❌ Refusing to accept restrictions on their right to learn and to work.

- Fact-check.
- Challenge hate by sharing messages of tolerance.
- Support people targeted by hate speech.
