Head of Individual, Digital and Public Giving at @UN_Women. Idealistic at heart, pragmatic in approach, ambitious in action. World citizen. Lifelong feminist.
The world is still falling short on its commitments to women and girls. Not a single goal under SDG 5 has been fully met. Very proud @UN_Women established its National Committee in #italy, the 13th across the world.

#GenderEquality
The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.
The world is at a crossroads for gender equality.
Standing up for women’s rights is more important than ever.
This #InternationalWomensDay, let’s accelerate progress and #InvestInWomen.

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.
Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.
An estimated 4,885 women have been killed in #Gaza in just 8 weeks.
Women & girls deserve peace, safety & a right to dream for their future.
We continue to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the protection of all civilians & for urgent delivery of lifesaving aid.
We reiterate that all women, Israeli women, Palestinian women, as all others, are entitled to a life lived in safety and free from violence.

There are numerous accounts of sexual violence during the abhorrent acts of terror by Hamas on 7 October that must be vigorously investigated and prosecuted.
Gender-based violence must be condemned. Anytime. Anywhere.
The situation in #Gaza is catastrophic. We have been able to account for our team there. They, like so many, are IDPs themselves.
We call for the protection of all civilians & for immediate access to lifesaving humanitarian supplies.
#NotATarget
We continue to call for
📢An immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
📢The immediate release of hostages.
📢Unrestricted and sustained humanitarian access.
#Gaza
We have lost touch with our team in #Gaza. I am gravely concerned for them & their families. They have already lived through such horrors over the last 21 days & now face another night of bombardment & fear.
I echo my @UN colleagues; we need a humanitarian ceasefire now.
We strongly condemn the strike on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza that killed and injured hundreds of civilians.
International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law must be respected and upheld; civilians & civilian infrastructure must be protected.
Hospitals are #NotATarget
"Too many lives - and the fate of the entire region - hang in the balance."
-- @antonioguterres calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East to ease epic human suffering.
UN Women condemns the attacks on civilians in Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories, & is deeply alarmed by the devastating impact on civilians including women & girls.
International Humanitarian Law & Human Rights Law must be respected & upheld.

The demand to immediately relocate 1.1 million people from northern #Gaza is extremely dangerous.
We reiterate @antonioguterres's call for unrestricted access for humanitarian actors into Gaza to provide aid to the most affected.
