Only 4 women were among the 850 delegates who signed the
@UN Charter, the founding document of the organization.
Bertha Lutz, born #OnThisDay in 1894, was one of them, as well as a Brazilian zoologist, politician, and diplomat!
Today we celebrate #HERstory.

Stop teaching girls that when a boy is mean to her, it means he likes her.
Stop teaching boys that being a man means asserting power.

To all the women who have been told that they are:
too loud,
too emotional,
too ambitious,
too difficult,
too bossy,
too much,
Stereotypes have held us back for far too long. This is your moment to stand up and claim your space.

📰 Let’s flip the narrative that places blame on victims and use the power of language in service of survivors, not perpetrators.

@UN_Women
Women continue to face many obstacles in public life and are marginalized from equally and fully participating in the highest decision-making positions.
Together, let's demand change.
