"Solidarity between women can be a powerful force of change."
Today we remember Nawal El Saadawi, born #OnThisDay in 1931. She was an Egyptian feminist writer, activist, and psychiatrist.
Her legacy will continue to inspire women & girls to speak out and support one another.
With the death toll rising, we are seeing images of fear, anguish and terror in every corner of Ukraine.
The protection of civilians must be priority number one.
International humanitarian and human rights law must be upheld.
We are devastated by the unexpected passing of alumnus Cameron Burrell. We offer our sincerest condolences and support to the Burrell family and all who knew him, including Cameron’s many friends, coaches and teammates.
The global failure to share vaccines equitably is fuelling a two-track pandemic & taking a toll on some of the 🌍’s poorest & most vulnerable people. Vaccines donated next year will be far too late for those dying today, being infected today, or at risk today. #VaccinEquity
Since the outbreak of #COVID19, violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, has intensified.
Everyone has a role to play to end this #ShadowPandemic.

The world is facing a global learning crisis. If things don't change, by 2030, 420 million children will not be learning the most basic skills in childhood.
Here is what @UNICEF is doing about it.
Empower a girl and help change the world!
Girls living in areas affected by wars & disasters should not miss out on their right to #education.

“I don’t go to school because of the fee and cost of uniform. I also have to look after my younger siblings, my grandparents are too old.” - Isra, 7, was just 3 years old when she fled a violent attack on her village in #Sudan.

Violence in early childhood can have grave consequences on all aspects of a child's development. Half of all lifetime mental disorders appear by the age of 14. Violence prevention must start in early childhood
