بيان صادر عن الأمين العام بشأن الهجوم على الرياض ترجمة غير رسمية أشعر بصدمة عميقة وأدين بشدة الهجوم الدامي الذي شنّه الحوثيون يوم السبت على مطار الملك خالد الدولي في الرياض بالمملكة العربية السعودية، والذي أسفر، بحسب التقارير، عن مقتل 12 شخصاً وإصابة مئات المدنيين. إن الهجمات على المدنيين والبنية التحتية المدنية تشكّل انتهاكاً للقانون الدولي. ويجب أن تتوقف هذه الهجمات فوراً. نيويورك، 10 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2026

I am deeply shocked by & strongly condemn Saturday’s lethal attack by the Houthis on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which reportedly killed 12 people & injured hundreds of civilians.   Attacks on civilians & civilian infrastructure are a violation of international law. These attacks must cease immediately.

78% of Myanmar women outside the workforce say caregiving is the main activity taking up their time. As conflict and displacement reshape daily life, the growing care load is falling hardest on women in the most unstable areas. Read the full report: unwo.men/FwIG50ZwQel

Mavic - left too soon, only 64 years young. She achieved however, more than most people. Such a genuine, generous and wise colleague. Worked both on the normativ development of 1325, and on method’s to accelerate the implementation both regionally, nationally and locally. She stood at the frontline. It was a true privilege to co- chair the compact on WPS-HA with Mavic from 2022-2025. The first board meeting took place in Pretoria. @MRensvik It’s a huge benefit to work together, representing different continents, different governments, regional organisations and civil society. Reporting and sharing best practices- Let’s keep that spirit and honor the memory of Mavic.
WPS-HA Compact@WPSHACompactMar 22
We are deeply saddened by Mavic's passing. She was a fierce trailblazer for women's rights and the WPS agenda. Committed to action & accountability, she contributed immeasurably to the formation of the Compact and represented GNWP for two years as founding Co-Chair of the Board.
