I showed this image to my children and they saw immediately what was wrong with this picture! #Equalpay is not rocket science and is a right for #womeninsport and every other sector!

So proud of my UN Women family today. The only way to truly defend 'the family' is to honor the plurality of families and ensure that ALL families are safe and supported!

Thanks to JWeissman & the rest of the UN Women Australia team for organizing a fantastic week with all of our wonderful partners and friends in Australia. It’s inspiring to see the govt, CSOs & private sector all pushing the gender equality agenda. We need more of you!

On #IWD2020, we gather today to celebrate the achievements of women and girls in #AsiaPacific. Yet substantial gender gaps continue to deprive👩‍👧of opportunities and we remain off-target to achieve #genderequality. Let us commit to work together in pushing the boundaries!

Unequal pay; three times as much unpaid care work; work that lack parental leave, pension and other benefits.... 3 things that should shock us in 2020! Let's bring it to the past where it belongs! #WomensDay 1950… or 2020? youtu.be/nQCbc7I1_1U via YouTube UN Women AsiaPacific
