No institution on earth has football's power to make billions of people feel the same thing at the same time.
⚽ Let's use the #WorldCup final to move that power towards equality too—on and off the pitch.
That's #EqualPlay.

Happy #MandelaDay!
Today we remember #NelsonMandela as a brave women's rights advocate, who stressed that freedom is incomplete without inequality.
His efforts to bring justice to women and girls remain an inspiration for us all.
His legacy lives on.
These emojis may look simple, but the reality behind them isn’t:
🍼 Who does care work? (Too often, women.)
💰 Who gets paid less? (Still mostly women.)
🗳️ Who gets to lead? (Very rarely, women.)
This #WorldEmojiDay, which other emoji would you add to the conversation?
Conflict is surging. So is gender-based violence.
86% of women’s organizations report rising violence, yet aid cuts have left them without resources to respond.

Women first stepped onto the court at Wimbledon 142 years ago 🎾
Since 2007, they've played for equal prize money.
This Saturday, a new women’s champion will extend a legacy shaped by icons before her.
Because #EqualPlay means levelling the playing field—on and off the court.
Safe drinking water is a human right.
But for 1 in 4 women and girls, that right remains out of reach.

AI learns from our world. But what happens when its builders don’t reflect half of it?
88% of leading AI researchers are men. From online abuse to deepfakes, #AI is harming women and girls.
#AIForGood means building tech that works for everyone.

Deepfake videos surged 550% between 2019 and 2023.
Nearly all are non-consensual. Nearly all target women.
This is gender-based violence, powered by technology.
#AI "nudifying" apps are a reminder that we must use #AIForGood — not harm.

We condemn in the strongest terms the recent wave of attacks across #Ukraine.
@UN_Women reiterates the @UN Secretary-General's appeal for urgent de-escalation, leading to a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Civilians and civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget.
#GenderEquality cannot be an afterthought if we hope to use #AIforGood.
#AI is already shaping what billions of people see and believe — and too often, it reproduces the same gender bias women and girls face offline.

Since 1950, only 5 women have entered an #F1 Grand Prix — a reminder that the road to the grid is shaped long before race day.
Access to training. Funding. Sponsorship. Teams. Visibility. Opportunity.
