#SGBV is not an immutable characteristic of conflict; it is a manifestation of the choices we make as a society about gender and age. — H.E. Reem Al Hashimy, 🇦🇪 Minister of State for Int’l Cooperation, at today’s #UNGA event to #EndSGBV

[Canada Mission UN @CanadaUN]

Today, 🇨🇦 launched the new roadmap for the #CalltoActionGBV.

Together with our partners, we are working to promote #genderequality and foster accountability to prevent, mitigate and respond to GBV in emergencies. #UNGA

General Assembly meetings look a little bit different this year. We’re farther apart (physically) 😷 but still coming together in dialogue to discuss some of the biggest challenges facing the world right now. 🌍

This is diplomacy. #UNGA

@KellyRazzouk @BarackObama @PeteSouza That face is everything! 💕

[Kaitlyn Pritchard @KaitPritchard]

At today’s dialogue w/ top 10 #humanitarian donors, Minister @karinagould 🇨🇦 urged countries to empower women & girls, act increasingly through local partners & live up to our Grand Bargain financing commitments.

We can - and must - work together to address humanitarian need.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Canada strongly condemns the imprisonment of Nasrin Sotoudeh, an Iranian human rights lawyer and women’s rights leader. Her sentence and treatment are unacceptable, and we call on Iran to release her immediately - defending human rights is not a crime.

“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.”

May we all have the opportunity, aptitude, character and courage to leave such an indelible mark on the world as you did.

Rest In Peace, Justice Ginsburg. 💔

Congratulations to @MarciaVJKRAN1 for her re-election to serve on the #UNHumanRightsCommittee for a second term! Very well deserved. 👏👏👏

[Marcia V. J. KRAN @MarciaVJKRAN1]

I am deeply grateful to the 109 States who voted today to re-elect me to the #UNHumanRightCommittee + to Canada 🇨🇦 for the strong + unique campaign during the COVID19 pandemic. Looking forward to continuing to serve the cause of #HumanRights in 2021-2024.

This is why the 31st UN General Assembly on #COVID19 is so important.

Yesterday, we held its first session to transfer its presidency from @BandeTijjani to @volkan_bozkir

It will be one of the most important agenda items of #UNGA75

Before his secret execution, #NavidAfkari was subjected to enforced disappearance, torture & other ill-treatment, & denial of access to a lawyer & other fair trial guarantees.

There is no justice in any of this.

This is a crime.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

#Iran: We are completely shocked, saddened & horrified at the secret execution of Navid Afkari, a young man with a promising future ahead of him. This travesty of justice needs immediate int'l action through public & private interventions.

@CANdiplomat @scowex We have already started limiting the *amount* of people in stores, rather than the *number* (a grammatical form of fat-shaming?), so it’s basically time to burn the whole thing down and start from scratch.

Today marks 19 years since the #September11th attacks, which took nearly 3,000 innocent lives.

Among those lost were 26 Canadians, who lived & worked in this great City of New York.

We honour & remember all who perished, today & every day. https://t.co/mJwzbL3Acw
