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 beneath the rubble of their classrooms. For Afghan girls living under the brutal Taliban regime for nearly five years.
The Taliban have built a system that removes women and girls from education, work and public life. This is gender apartheid, and it is time for the world to recognise it and act to end it.
Speeches do not protect girls. But law, accountability and political courage can.
