Women's empowerment within communities is a matter of equality and a catalyst for progress and peace. Women continue to face barriers to leadership. We must empower and uplift women; in doing so, we create a more equitable, peaceful, and prosperous future for all.

A groundbreaking @UN survey of 25,000+ women across 185 countries shows 85% are determined advocates for advancing women's rights & representation despite opposition, resolved to contribute efforts for change. #WeTheWomen #GenderEquality Visit: wethewomencampaign.org

Humanity’s war on nature is a war on the human rights of some of the most vulnerable people: Indigenous People. Rural communities. The marginalized & dispossessed. Environmental justice & climate justice are rallying cries for ethical treatment, accountability & human rights.


On #WorldDayofSocialJustice, let us embrace empathy and collective action. We can celebrate the progress made in the fight for social justice and commit to the journey ahead. We must amplify marginalized voices, advocate for systemic change, and strive for a more just world.

Today, on #RedHandDay, or International Day against the Use of Child Soldiers, I echo the call to end this abhorrent practice and provide unwavering support to children affected by it. Join @connectWPDI and I in ensuring every child's fundamental right to a peaceful upbringing.

Tens of thousands of children in the world are still recruited by armed forces. On #RedHandDay, we echo the call to end this abhorrent practice and provide unwavering support to affected children. Listen to the powerful voices of children in global solidarity:



Peace is humanity’s greatest responsibility. As @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres rightly says, “that responsibility belongs to us all – individually and collectively.” I join him in urging the world to meet that obligation for today and future generations.

The pursuit of peace is the most essential of all human endeavours. Peace can achieve wonders that wars never will. Wars destroy. Peace builds. In today’s troubled world, building peace is a conscious, bold & even radical act. It's humanity’s greatest responsibility.



Thank you, Dr. King, for teaching us how to fight for our freedom.
