Over 750 million women and girls today live within 50 km of an active conflict.
We must not scroll past their suffering.

Women still do 2.5 times more unpaid care work than men.
We're serious about changing that. Are you? 👀

One year after the atrocities in El Fasher, North Darfur, safety is mostly out of reach for women and girls.

Dads deserve far more than just a fraction of time.
Yet on average fathers get ONE-EIGHTH as much paid parental leave as mothers.
It’s a gap in how we value and #ShareTheCare.
More time for dads. More support for moms. A better start for every child: www.unwomen.org/en/news-stories/press-rele...
In #Haiti, insecurity has forced women from their homes and changed lives forever.
But women are also finding strength in one another.
Haitian women aren’t just living through this crisis. Their leadership is essential to building lasting #peace 🕊️

Change begins when silence is broken.

#Misogyny—online and offline—is an urgent threat to gender equality.
Sometimes it's subtle. Other times it's dismissed as harmless. And too often, it's normalized.
#ForAllWomenAndGirls, it's time to challenge misogyny wherever it shows up.
There's #NoExcuse not to!
A champion on the court. A powerful voice beyond it 🎾
@naomiosaka has shown that courage isn't just about winning titles.
It's also about standing up for what you believe in.
Happy birthday to a woman who continues to make her voice count 💙

“My hope is for us to live in peace.”
For some women in #Lebanon, war is a past they never forgot. For others, it's one of their first memories.

Rural women keep farms, families, and communities going.
Yet their unpaid care work too often goes unseen and unequally shared.

🚨 There's nothing funny about normalizing misogyny.
The words we normalize shape the attitudes we tolerate.
Dismissing #misogyny as "just a joke" perpetuates a culture where hating and harming women and girls is excused.
And there is #NoExcuse for it.

The majority of the dozens of people killed and injured in a drone attack on a displacement site in #Sudan last Friday were women and girls.
Attacks must be investigated.

Mental health should never be an afterthought.
No woman or girl should have to reach a crisis before support becomes available – or be dismissed when asking for help.

⚠️ Food security is a #GenderEquality issue.

🚨 Rape culture doesn’t begin and end with an act of sexual violence.
It lives in the:
🔴 attitudes that excuse it
🔴 stereotypes that blame survivors
🔴 silence that protects perpetrators
There is #NoExcuse for abuse — or for the culture that lets rape culture persist.
The impact of the escalation in the Middle East extends far beyond the region.
By year-end, 11.7 million more women and girls in 28 countries could face food insecurity. #ForAllWomenAndGirls, access to food must be protected.

Today, we celebrate @brielarson, born #OnThisDay.
From making space for women on screen to using her platform to advocate #ForAllWomenAndGirls, she's shown what matters for #GenderEquality.
Thank you for making room for women and girls to shape their own stories.
Women have a right to live free from violence.

#AI can automate a lot of things.
#GenderEquality isn’t one of them.
When women are missing from the rooms where AI is built, led and governed, inequality gets built in too.

🤔 What kind of leader does the world need?
Not leaders with all the answers, but leaders who can answer the call to listen, connect, and share power.
Our Deputy Executive Director @vanyaradzayi shares her perspective: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k17/k17hr84p6i…
We cannot deliver peace and prosperity for all without women's leadership.
#ForAllWomenAndGirls, we must:
🔵 Let women lead
🔵 Break the barriers holding women back
🔵 Make accountability for equality non-negotiable
