Thank you Winnie Byanyima, I was happy to join you and the other UNAIDS Cosponsor Principals to discuss the importance of human rights in HIV/AIDS responses. Proud to stand together for everyone’s health and rights in the fight to end AIDS.

As a proud working mother, I'm inspired by other working mothers juggling dual roles and women caregivers who are unpaid & lack social protection or labour rights.

Let’s give them the recognition they deserve with equal rights, fair wages & better working conditions.

#LabourDay

On #MayDay , I stand in solidarity with workers worldwide.

Over 26 million people work in forced labour, generating $236 billion in illegal profits a year.

This exploitation violates their dignity & human rights.

We must ensure fair & decent working conditions for all workers.

The Zakouma National Park in Chad is an important natural reserve home to 370+ endangered species that we must protect.

Great to see UN Office on Drugs & Crime trained 25 justice officials on how to collect & preserve crime scene evidence for use in court proceedings, vital to #EndWildlifeCrime .

Over the past decades, we've taken important steps in the fight against human trafficking & migrant smuggling.

But today, that progress is under threat.

UN Office on Drugs & Crime is launching a new global action to step up efforts against these crimes.

#WorldImmunizationWeek

The situation in Haiti is worsening every day, causing dire humanitarian & security needs.
 
1.6 million face acute food insecurity & 95,000+ have fled the capital.
 
The international community must urgently step up humanitarian funding & support for Haiti at this grave hour.

¡Encantada de unirme al Grupo de Amigos del Español para celebrar la riqueza cultural, la vivacidad y la historia de la lengua española!

UN Office on Drugs & Crime/UN Vienna Estamos orgullosos de adoptar el idioma español en todas las áreas de nuestro trabajo.

Had a good meeting with Lithuanian Deputy Foreign Minister Egidijus Meilūnas to discuss preparations for the upcoming international anti-corruption conference in Vilnius in June.

I look forward to building a strong partnership to address corruption globally.

#UnitedAgainstCorruption .

We share our planet with more than 8 billion species of plants & animals.

Wildlife trafficking threatens some of the most important among those species for our ecosystems.
 
We need to #EndWildlifeCrime for our shared home & its future.
 
#EarthDay

我恭祝大家中文日快乐！As we celebrate #ChineseLanguageDay , I’m reminded of the beautiful art & calligraphy that I saw during my visit to Beijing last year. This rich language traces a civilization dating back centuries. We are proud to embrace it as an official United Nations language.

🚨In this week’s 60 seconds:

🔹Sophisticated firearms and ammo are being trafficked into Haiti.

🔹 UN Toolkit introduces module for safe handling and disposal of potent synthetic drugs

🔹New UNODC-UNEP report: A Look Into the EU-Southeast Asia Waste Trafficking Wave.

Our new report shows drug trafficking surging in the Sahel, making it a key transit route for cocaine, cannabis resin & pharmaceutical opioids.

We must strengthen cross-border cooperation & bolster legal frameworks to disrupt this growing illicit trade.

Welcome to the new Permanent Representative of #Rwanda , James Ngango, who presented his credentials today to the Director-General of #UNVienna GhadaFathiWaly - more ➡ unis.unvienna.org/unis/en/pressr…

Thank you for the constructive meeting. I was glad to hear about UNOPS’ work and to discuss how we can combine our efforts to accelerate progress towards Agenda 2030 and address today’s multifaceted challenges.

Synthetic drugs can cause serious harm to frontline officers if mishandled.

Today, I’m proud UN Office on Drugs & Crime launched a new module of our synthetic drugs strategy on the secure handling and disposal of hazardous substances.

Let’s protect those who protect us.
