More than 5 women or girls are killed every hour by their partner or a family member.
New research shows that there has been too little progress in preventing femicide in the private sphere.
We can & must end this abhorrent crime. #16Days

Youth are pushing for radical social change, but they can't do this if they are under attack.
It’s time to break the silence!

The green transition rhetoric that says we need deep sea mining to solve climate change reminds me of when the US said we need nuclear testing for the "good of mankind." Once again, western countries expect the Pacific to pay for problems they caused, all the while making them $.

Evidence shows girls #education across South & SE Asia has been negatively impacted by the pandemic, especially for older adolescents. “Learning poverty” that existed prior to #COVID19 has only been exacerbated, widening #genderinequality & wealth gaps.

It's 2022 and violence is still a real threat to too many women & girls worldwide.
In the last 12 months, more than 1 in every 10 women & girls were subject to sexual and/or physical violence by an intimate partner.
