It's #EqualPayDay!
Today and everyday, all workers should have the right to receive #equalpay for work of equal value.

Women and girls are differentially affected by crisis.
When their rights to move and work are restricted as they are in #Afghanistan, they are disproportionately impacted, including and especially in accessing food, healthcare and safe shelter.

#EqualPayDay Reminder:
Commitment to equal pay = Commitment to gender equality.
It's that simple.

When times are tough, gender discrimination means women and girls may be the first to eat less, even as they work harder to secure food for their households.
On #WorldFoodDay, let’s speak up to end discrimination for a #ZeroHunger world.

The war in #Ukraine is increasing insecurity, sexual violence, food shortages and human trafficking. All of these are making life even harder for women and girls. This war must end now.

Gender-related killings and other forms of violence against women and girls are not inevitable.
They can and must be prevented.

Today, we remember Katherine Johnson, born #OnThisDay in 1918, who fought discrimination and helped put the first man on the moon.
Her legacy will continue to inspire generations of women and girls to never give up on their dreams.

@UN_Women
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.
Thank you @ABaerbock!
