426 million women and girls live in extreme poverty in 2026.
On #EndPoverty Day, we call for greater investment to strengthen social protection, health and education #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Every girl should be free to learn, grow and shape her own future.
Yet for millions of girls, child marriage continues to limit those possibilities. Education can help change that.
Over the past 2 years, @UNESCO programmes advancing #GenderEquality in education have reached 38M+ learners.
This #DayOfTheGirl, we call for renewed commitment to every girl’s right to learn, work, decide freely and shape her own future.

Girls are not waiting for the future. They're shaping it now.
With questions, ideas and demands for change.
This #DayOfTheGirl, listen to girls. Invest in their leadership.
The future is theirs—and the future is now 💙

Some kids have a long list of adults looking out for them.
Others may only have one or two.
That is why the way we respond to a student who is not “ours” still matters. The kid in the hallway. The student from another class. The child at the game, bus stop, or neighborhood park who needs an adult to notice that something is off.
We do not need to replace anyone’s family to care about their well-being.
Sometimes being part of a community simply means deciding that every kid around us is worth noticing.

Happy birthday to Kate Winslet 🎉
Through her work and advocacy, she continues to challenge gender stereotypes and helps pave the way for young women to find their voice and own their power.

Peace is not simply the absence of war. It depends on the ability of societies to confront disagreement without violence, protect human rights and dignity, and keep dialogue open when tensions rise.
Today, conflict, displacement, discrimination, hate speech, backsliding on rights and polarization are fracturing communities and eroding trust.
On this #InternationalDayOfPeace, @UNESCO calls for greater investment in the institutions, skills and relationships that allow societies to address tensions before they turn into violence.

Dear humans around the world:
That thunderclap you just heard came from Gander, Newfoundland.
At 92 years old, Jean Chretien just gave the speech of his life.
With the most memorable, important words of his life.
Because he speaks for what most Canadians are feeling in our stomachs and hearts today, better than anyone else could.
God bless him. God bless Canada.

Dear people. Stop releasing Fucking balloons into the air. You’re literally maiming other living things.
