Beyond the classroom, @UNRWA schools invest in the future of every child. ✨💙 With the constant encouragement of dedicated teachers, UNRWA supports young girls like Jouri to lead, experiment, build confidence, & pave their own professional paths!

Last week, students from @UNRWA schools in the West Bank came together to mark #WorldFootballDay with @ps4lorg and @CanadaRepPA.

Through football and creative activities, students explored teamwork while learning more about Canada as a FIFA World Cup host.

Thank you to our partners and all those involved.

Peace is possible. Today, we honour 50,000+ UN peacekeepers serving in complex environments—and the 4,500+ who gave their lives for peace. As underinvestment grows, so do the risks. Now is the time to #InvestInPeace.

🕊️🇺🇳 The protection of our personnel, partners & communities is at the heart of peacekeeping.

Without it, sustainable peace is impossible.

This Peacekeepers' Day, we call upon all stakeholders to #InvestInPeace, including by investing in PSEA in UN peace operations.

A first-of-its-kind workshop brought together 🇪🇹government institutions & the #UN/PSEA network on 15 May to collectively address sexual exploitation, abuse, & harassment across the public sector through a unified and coherent framework. #SexualMisconductCodeOfConduct

[UN Office of the Special Coordinator SEA @UN_OSCSEA]

Sexual exploitation and abuse is a form of violence against women and girls.

Tackling SEA requires a collective commitment to addressing its root causes, including systemic inequality & power imbalances.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

At a time of deepening geopolitical tensions and constrained resources, the UN development system must rise to meet the scale of today’s challenges.

The road ahead will not be easy.

But I believe deeply in the leadership, expertise and commitment of our @UN_SDG to reposition and advance the #SDGs, delivering results where they matter most and leaving no one behind.

[UN Office of the Special Coordinator SEA @UN_OSCSEA]

Sexual exploitation and abuse is a violation of human rights and an abuse of power.

It has no place in the United Nations.

Prevention, accountability, and the rights & dignity of victims are at the heart of our response.

[UN Peacekeeping @UNPeacekeeping]

In conflict areas, women are disproportionately impacted by sexual violence. Many do not report it or cannot seek justice due to limited access to law enforcement.
