End of an intensive week at the IMF and World Bank meetings in Washington.

We advocated for increased support and bold action to alleviate the heavy debt burden on developing countries.

These countries need swift and large-scale solutions.

Only 37% of people in low-income countries use the Internet. Bandwidth in #LDCs is just 20% of the global average.

Global cooperation is key to ensuring AI & the digital revolution won’t leave them behind. Our joint efforts continue at #CSTD27 & beyond. ow.ly/Y2jt50Rh9lx

We're facing a development crisis, and finance is at the heart of it.

We have the solutions.

We need political will and accelerated action now.

Failing people is not an option.

Everywhere, young women are rising in politics and society.

They are advocating for equal rights and making a difference.

New generations of women fill me with optimism for the future. bit.ly/48XUrc5

We should not see women as a vulnerable group. We are agents of change, agents of good, of community building, of economy building, of society building.

If their potential is unleashed societies will be much better off than they are today. bit.ly/48XUrc5 #InvestInWomen

We urgently need action from the global financial system to address the intersection of debt, climate & development in Africa.

Ahead of the #SummitoftheFuture and #G20Brazil my call is clear: Strengthen Africa's voice, ensure sustainable development. #COM2024

3.3 billion people live in countries that spend more in servicing the debt than in paying for schools or hospitals.

I congratulate #G20Brazil presidency and its priorities – fighting poverty & hunger, the energy transition & sustainable development, and governance reform.

Very busy weeks at #G20 Brazil .

The priorities of Brazil's G20 Brasil presidency – fighting poverty & hunger, the energy transition & sustainable development, and governance reform – could not be more urgent.

It is imperative to update the global governance system. #G20

#WeTheWomen have the potential to be the true architects of peace processes and conflict resolution. Today at our Female Leaders Network at #MSC2024 we discussed our campaign to mobilize broad support for feminist politics and female leadership.

We need to shape the multilateral system for a more equal and sustainable world.

To truly tackle poverty we must seriously fight inequality.
