10 MILLION
That's the number of girls who will be at risk of child marriage over the next decade.
Child, early, and forced marriage is a violation of human rights.
Let’s end this harmful practice NOW!

In addition to saving their own lives, women in #Ukraine often have to protect the lives of their children and other family members.
Increased insecurity, sexual violence, and food shortages are making life even harder for women and girls.
This war must end now.

@UN_Women
With just eight years to go until we reach 2030 and the endpoint of the #GlobalGoals, we must accelerate progress for women and girls NOW.

Women must have an equal say in decision-making.
If half of the population is unable to participate as equals, no society can reach its full potential.

Compromising on women's participation in decision-making or visibility in peace processes does not keep them safer.
Consistent, explicit political support for activists & their work is key to preventing attacks against them.

"Solidarity between women can be a powerful force of change."
Today we remember Nawal El Saadawi, born #OnThisDay in 1931. She was an Egyptian feminist writer, activist, and psychiatrist.
Her legacy will continue to inspire women & girls to speak out and support one another.
