Imagine a world where women and girls are healthier, and where our societies are more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient. When we invest in women’s health, we invest in global wealth. My remarks at the #WHS2025 plenary session: unf.pa/4q1DYx0

Women-led businesses are doing more than building products—they’re creating jobs, empowering communities, and driving local economies forward. When women thrive, everyone benefits. Tune in to Sivi Malukisa speaking live at #AfricaSOR now: wrld.bg/5sx350XetX5 #WBGMeetings

Delighted to participate in the 4th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policies. Gender equality is a strategic imperative that underpins broader peace, security and development. A feminist approach to policymaking provides a blueprint for resilience and renewal.

On #UNDay, I addressed the European Parliamentary Forum for #SRHR and engaged with Members of Parliament from 11 countries. Our collaboration is vital in demonstrating that rights and choices are the foundation of resilient societies that can thrive through demographic change.

Peace endures when women lead, when gender analysis informs rebuilding, & when women’s security is seen as a peace dividend. We must protect & resource all women peacebuilders.  My message at the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission meeting on #WPS: 🔗unwo.men/KYM350XiIyV
