For some women, the most dangerous place is their own home.
56% of female homicide victims in 2021 were murdered by their intimate partner or a family member.
Violence against women & girls can and must be prevented!

We are gravely concerned by the developments in #Afghanistan.
Together with @unwomenchief we call on the de facto authorities to IMMEDIATELY restore women’s and girls’ freedom of movement, right to work and access to all education.

The global gender pay gap affects women in every country of the world.
For women of colour, immigrant women & women with children, the pay difference is even greater.
On #EqualPayDay, raise your voice with us to close the gap!

@UN_Women
There can be no greater catastrophe in the face of humanitarian crisis than to remove the contribution of half the population in navigating #Afghanistan ’s daunting challenges.
We strongly condemn this without reservation.

Congratulations to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has been confirmed to the U.S Supreme Court. She makes history as the first Black woman Justice in its history.
In all their diversity, more women must have a seat at the decision-making table!
