In #Vietnam we are seeing dengue outbreaks in parts of the country that have rarely seen a case before. A big worry - for most people it will be a mild illness, but for some it can be very severe.

Take a look at this excellent @WHO explainer 👇🏻

A woman has been allegedly killed in NSW. Her son has been arrested.

Everyday but particularly today, on International Women’s Day, I feel furious. How many women must die before we see actions & funding commensurate with the scale of the crisis of men’s violence against women?

[UN Women Afghanistan @unwomenafghan]

Progress towards gender equality is under attack, and #Afghanistan is the "most egregious example" of the global backlash against women’s rights.

Only 3% of climate-related development finances recognize #GenderEquality as a principal objective.

Women and girls are uniquely affected by climate change, yet their rights and needs are systematically overlooked.

Gender equality must be at the heart of #ClimateAction!
