In Cauca, #Colombia, women like Sandra Aguilar Carabalí are restoring rivers, reclaiming peace, and rewriting the future. With every tree planted and every voice raised, they are showing that climate justice is gender justice. #Beijing30 Read Sandra's story:

⚠️ Women’s bodies are being turned into battlegrounds in #Sudan. Today, as we mark two years since this devastating war began, their voices are loud and clear. They are demanding justice and that the world does not forget Sudan—or its women and girls. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Women & girls in #Haiti are facing hunger, school closures, and rising gender-based violence. They cannot be the invisible victims of this deepening crisis. Their needs and rights must be prioritized—and women-led organizations must be supported to reach those most at risk.

I join United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and the global community in mourning the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.  May his legacy of unity, compassion, and hope guide us all.

For over 2 months, women & girls in #Gaza have been deliberately starved. This brutal aid blockade which is a violation of international law must end now. Aid must reach all. Hostages must be released. All parties must comply with int'l law.

The conflict in #Sudan continues relentlessly - 6 million women and girls displaced, 12 million people at risk of gender-based violence. All parties must immediately cease hostilities and commit to inclusive peace. Women and girls must be at the centre of the response.
