HAPPENING NOW 🚨

We’re kicking off the opening of the anniversary exhibition #JourneyForEquality — a powerful reflection on the path toward gender equality that began 30 years ago when the “Peace Train” departed 🚂💜

Today, we return #ForAllWomenandGirls 🌍 @UNWomenSuomi

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Monday marks three years since the Russian Federation launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in clear violation of the @UN Charter and international law.

On this tragic occasion, I reaffirm the urgent need for a just, sustainable and comprehensive peace – one that fully upholds Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, in accordance with the UN Charter, international law, and resolutions of the General Assembly.

From the very first day of the war, the UN has stood in full solidarity with the people of Ukraine, delivering life-saving humanitarian assistance to millions in need and supporting long-term recovery and reconstruction efforts.

The war in Ukraine stands as a grave threat not only to the peace and security of Europe but also to the very foundations and core principles of the UN.

Enough is enough. After three years of death and destruction, I once again call for urgent de-escalation and an immediate end to the hostilities. I welcome all efforts towards achieving a just and inclusive peace. The UN stands ready to support such efforts.

#GenderEquality benefits everyone & male parliamentarians have a key role in advancing it—by safeguarding women’s rights & working alongside women leaders for a more inclusive future. Insightful reflections at the 'Calling Men & Boys into Gender Equality' event by @PACE_Equality.

Equal representation isn't a goal—it's a right. #CEDAW's new #GR40 calls for 50:50 gender parity in all decision-making systems. It's time for real change where women and men share power equally in public, private & digital spaces. Read the Guidance⤵️https://t.co/eGnX1T1og3
