Not a single country has achieved gender equality.
There’s been progress, but real change is agonizingly slow.
Let’s make 2022 the year of action!

In barring women from contributing to the efforts of aid organizations, the Taliban has suspended aid for half the population of #Afghanistan, aid without which they will not survive.
This is relentless misogyny, a virulent attack on women, their contribution, freedom and voice.

Today we remember Minerva Bernardino, a diplomat from the Dominican Republic who was born #OnThisDay.
In a profession dominated by men, she was one of only 4 women to sign the @UN Charter in 1945.

There is no excuse for sexual violence.
There are no blurred lines when it comes to consent.
The definition is clear.

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!

-Ensure education, including STEM, equips girls & women for the future
