@UN_Women
More than 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence during their lifetime.
Violence against women & girls remains the most pervasive human rights violation worldwide.
We need to #PushForward to end the violence NOW: unwo.men/6Y2q50LMxTq

Women do 3 times as much unpaid care and domestic work as men.
Time to step it up, guys!

@UN_Women
In 2021, only one woman was awarded the #NobelPrize.
We must step up our efforts to eliminate structural barriers that continue to hold women back.

We need more women leaders on the national and international level for a better, more equal world. #WomenInPolitics

Without equal access to Internet and new technologies, girls can miss essential opportunities that shape their futures.
We need to address intersecting factors, like disability and socioeconomic contexts that affect the digital gap on #DayoftheGirl.

@UN_Women
Education is a right. We must make sure girls can go to school in every part of the world.

@UN_Women
Female genital mutilation is a form of violence against women.
It is a human rights abuse.
It leaves scars that last a lifetime.
Let’s protect our girls and #endFGM!

@UN_Women
Maya Angelou, born #OnThisDay, did not shy away from speaking up for what she believed in.
Let's echo her words & stand up for not only ourselves, but also for our sisters.
291
@UN_Women
She is young.
She is fearless.
She is taking action to protect our planet.
We all should learn from @GretaThunberg on #YouthDay and every day. #YouthLead

@UN_Women
Gender inequality.
Harmful norms.
Abuse of power.
To end gender-based violence, we must eliminate its root causes.

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

@UN_Women
Women belong👏 in all places👏 where decisions👏 are being made👏
Today we remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
#RBG was a champion for justice and she cleared the way for gender equality so other women can have a seat at the table.
Her legacy lives on.

@UN_Women
Speak up when someone crosses the line. Every time, everywhere. Let’s not allow silence to be compliance to a culture of violence. #OrangeTheWorld #16Days

@UN_Women
Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation that has been perpetuated for DECADES.
It’s pervasive, but it’s not inevitable unless we stay silent.
📣Speak out & break the cycle of abuse! 📣
