Designing effective crisis responses begins with community perspectives.
To connect the discussions with realities on the ground, UN Women and partners visited flood-affected areas and listened to community perspectives to shape locally informed responses to the needs of women, youth and affected households.
As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.
It's terribly backward.
It's also counterproductive.
Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.
A stroke of a pen in a Finance Ministry. But aid cuts don’t stay on paper.
In Somalia, they mean less food and medicine – and clinics further away.
My interview with @BeckyCNN:
On 20 April 2026, AWLN Tanzania convened an intergenerational Women’s Rights Forum with AWLN Patron H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, AWLN Elder H.E. Sahle-Work Zewde and Executive Director Ms. Joyce Mends-Cole.
Focused on Tanzania’s democratic trajectory, women’s leadership and civic space post October 2025 elections, the forum called for justice centered healing, institutional trust and transformative reforms.
AWLN Tanzania reaffirms its commitment to dialogue, healing and a just, inclusive future.
#AWLN #TheAfricaWeWant
Closing a powerful gathering of African women leaders on the margins of the World Bank & IMF Spring Meetings.
Across voices and perspectives, a clear thread emerged:
Africa’s transformation will not happen by chance, it must be intentionally designed through aligned systems, accountable financing, and ecosystems that place women at the center.
From data and policy to capital and collective action, the call is clear: move beyond inclusion to redesign.
Together, we are not just part of the system, we are shaping it.

Over 80% of countries in the world are net oil importers. Vulnerable economies—especially in Sub Saharan Africa and small island states—are bearing the brunt of this shock. Our members will come together next week to find a path forward. Full speech: https://t.co/fHYzyuzTOb
MESSAGE
I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.
Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.
An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.
I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

The war in the Middle East must stop.
Diplomacy must prevail.
All Security Council resolutions must be implemented.
The latest one, resolution 2817, must be respected, as we see that countries in the Gulf continue to be targeted.
Sunday is the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.
