Journey for Change: Empowering Youth Through Global Service

[Malaak Compton-Rock @ARProject]

Excited that our Journey for Change scholars are reading @ClintSmithIII “How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America!” As South African youth, they will gain a rich understanding of U.S. history & similarities w/their past as well. @ARProjectSA

My young sister Azaliah & I were brave enough to host our first gender themed UNGA side event in New York. Diplomats from 3 countries including a time generous @USAmbUN + @UNLesotho shared. We recognized the work of @ARProject in South Africa 2. It's the result of educating girls

Universal family planning is key to achieving #GenderEquality.

That's why the @GatesFoundation is investing $100 M to expand access to contraceptives.

Join @Atayeshe, @UNFPA_Supplies & @GlblCtzn to advocate for rights and choices: https://t.co/I8DEN3tsvj

To all those working for, marching for & championing real #ClimateAction:

I want you to know that you are on the right side of history.

I am with you.

I won’t give up this fight of our lives.

#ActNow

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Women are still waiting for equal opportunities and equal pay.

For equality under the law.

For their work to be valued and their opinions to count.

Gender equality is not a favour to women. It is fundamental to ensuring a better future for all.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Climate change is not just a change in the weather.

It is changing life on our planet.

It is killing people and devastating communities.

To limit global temperature rise, we must phase out coal, oil & gas in a fair & equitable way – and massively boost renewables. #UNGA

[Malaak Compton-Rock @ARProject]

Thrilled to receive an award from @ZurielOduwole and her DUSUSU org. Zuriel advocates for education equity & gender equality for girls worldwide. It was also lovely that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations @USAmbUN spoke about these issues and interacted w/youth from @GirlUp!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Women & girls everywhere deserve to live with dignity & respect.

We will never give up fighting to ensure their fundamental human rights are upheld everywhere.

The war in Ukraine has caused the fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II.

I am grateful for the solidarity of Ukraine’s neighbours who are taking in people forced to flee & I urge the international community to fund humanitarian efforts to support them.
