Today at the UN, I spoke about a hard truth: True justice does not defend the humanity of children in one place and ignore it in another. I am devastated for families in Iran whose daughters left for school and did not return home. For parents in Gaza who buried their children bMostrar mais

Today, @Malala is speaking at the UN. For 13 years, she has called for justice in that hall. Yet women and girls continue to suffer around the world, and children are dying without accountability. Justice cannot be selective. How long will international law lag behind

In Nigeria, 1 in 3 girls is married before 18. In the northeast & northwest, it's over 50%. Amina pushed back against family pressure to marry — but millions of girls don't get that choice. This is a policy problem with a proven solution: education. When girls complete

I am horrified by the attack on a Shia mosque in Islamabad during Friday prayers — an attack on our shared humanity, faith and values. Targeting innocent worshippers and civilians is a heinous and cowardly crime. My heart goes out to all the victims, the injured and their familiMostrar mais

This International Day of Education, @UNESCO is highlighting the power of youth to co-create the future of education. We’re proud to trust and invest in young women who are turning girls’ rights into real-world change: policy that’s enforceable, financing that’s predictable, and

The protests in Iran cannot be separated from the long-standing, state-imposed restrictions on girls’ and women’s autonomy, in all aspects of public life including education. Iranian girls, like girls everywhere, demand a life with dignity. The people of Iran have long warned abMostrar mais

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and

Narges Mohammadi dares to demand freedom for Iranian women — and for that she has been arrested yet again by authorities in Iran. I stand in solidarity with her and join the call for her immediate release.

December 16 is one of the darkest days in our national history. Eleven years ago, on this day, 149 people including 132 children were brutally massacred at Army Public School, Peshawar. So many joyful families were shattered. Too many parents continue to live with trauma,
