Indigenous women and girls safeguard cultures and ancestral wisdom but still face discrimination.

Women now reportedly head 1 in 4 households in #Gaza, up from 1 in 9 before the war.
Women are carrying the burden of protecting and providing for their families amid displacement and loss.

A year ago today, the de facto authorities reinforced the ban on Afghan women staff from entering @UN premises in #Afghanistan.
12 months later, this ban remains in place.

Women worldwide are breaking boundaries and stereotypes that limit their opportunities, choices, and potential.
#GenderEquality starts when no one else gets to decide what women can or can't do.

Equality doesn't just happen. We have to get in formation for it. 🎶🐝

What does conflict mean across a lifetime?
For women and girls in #Lebanon, it can mean displacement, lost childhoods, and memories of war.
@unwomenlebanon spoke with three generations of Lebanese women to hear about their experiences and hopes.

She’s opened doors. Challenged stereotypes. And helped make space for other women and girls.

43,000 women and girls in #Nepal need immediate humanitarian assistance.
Women and girls must be reached, protected and included in recovery efforts.

Planning. Cooking. Caring. Daily errands. Holding everything together.
It all adds up—and too often, women carry more of it.
Care work is work.
It should be shared.

Nearly 160,000 women and girls are impacted by the floods in #Nepal.

What happens online doesn't stay online.
Harmful online communities can normalize misogyny and fuel attitudes that put women and girls at risk.
Safer digital spaces are essential to #ACTtoEndViolence #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

“You should be proud of yourself. Make every moment count.”
Remembering @DollyParton — an iconic artist who showed generations of women the power of being entirely yourself.
Thank you, Dolly, for reminding us what it means to know your worth.
🎵 We will always love you. 💖
You may know her story from the film, Hidden Figures. Her name was Katherine Johnson.
Born #OnThisDay in 1918, she broke barriers of race and gender to help send humans into space. 🚀
Her legacy inspires the next generation of #WomenInScience.
Is there justice when women are not equal before the law?
That is the reality women and girls in #Afghanistan face.
Five years since the Taliban takeover, half the population has less legal status and access to justice than the other half.

#AI is making image-based abuse faster, cheaper and easier to spread.
Women are being targeted through deepfakes, manipulated imagery, the non-consensual sharing of personal images and unwanted sexual content.

Nearly 8 in 10 young women in #Afghanistan face this reality.
Yet 9 in 10 Afghans support girls’ education.
Afghan women and girls want to learn. To work. To have choices.
Their futures should be theirs.

Inequality shouldn't be a glitch we keep running into.
Every day, women and girls face barriers to equal pay, equal opportunity, and equal say, in the workplace, at home, and online.
The system needs an update. Let’s make equality the default #ForAllWomenAndGirls.
The future we want starts with the values we uphold today.
Let's keep pushing for a world where every woman and girl can exercise their rights, live in equality, and realize their power, everywhere.
#ForAllWomenAndGirls
Only once or twice a month.
For half of Afghan women, that's how often they leave their homes.
Excluding women and girls in #Afghanistan from public life must NEVER be normalized.

#DidYouKnow: Girls in #Afghanistan are still banned from attending high school.
Keeping girls out of classrooms doesn't just affect them—it holds back their communities and the country’s development.
Education should be #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

When gangs take over communities, women-led organizations help survivors.
In #Haiti, women like Roselene Pierre are on call 24/7.
But funding is running out. 1 in 3 women's organizations could close within a year.

⚠️ New findings from @UN_Women:
7 in 10 women in #Afghanistan describe their mental health as ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’.
Five years of restrictions. Five years of invisible wounds.
We need more support for Afghan women's mental health, not more isolation.

Care work keeps the world running.
It's in 🍲 meals prepared, 🚸 children walked to school, and 👵🏼 aging parents supported.
Yet, this work is undervalued and unequally distributed.

Some things aren't expenses.
They're investments in a better future. 💸
The greatest returns come when women and girls have the rights, opportunities and support they deserve.
That's a future #ForAllWomenAndGirls.
Happy birthday, @CharlizeAfrica 🎉
As an actress, producer, and feminist advocate, she uses her voice to advance #GenderEquality and to end violence against women and girls.
Thank you for speaking out on the importance of equal opportunities #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Ten women need help. Only two can get it.
That's the reality for #Haiti's first organization for women and girls with disabilities.
Funding cuts mean even fewer women and girls will get the support they need.

When stories of abuse continue to dominate the news, they're a reminder that consent is still too often misunderstood, ignored, or dismissed.
Every woman and girl has the right to have her consent respected.
