Grateful to meet Camilla Brückner, Director of @UNinBrussels, and for her warm welcome. @WHO appreciates all @UN agencies' efforts to strengthen 🇺🇳-🇪🇺 cooperation. Together, for a healthier, safer world.
#Brussels landmarks turn orange tonight to show solidarity with victims of violence. Let’s act now to end violence against women! #OrangeTheWorld#16Days
So, it’s now or never. How are you going to ACT for change? First watch, then share. And then jump on board with @FrankietheDino (that's me!) and @UNDP, because we want to save this world!
