Two years into the conflict in #Sudan, 6 million displaced women & girls face daily threats to their survival. UN Women calls for an end to the war, support for women-led organizations & for ensuring that women are not only protected, but also empowered to lead the way forward.

Today we remember Minerva Bernardino, a diplomat from the Dominican Republic who was born #OnThisDay. In a profession dominated by men, she was one of only 4 women to sign the United Nations Charter in 1945. 👏🏼👏🏽
