No words are needed; her cry says it all. The little girl, who grew up with "her" bull, teaches us a lesson in humanity and empathy by desperately begging for this animal's life. "He didn't do anything, he just wants to go home."

Former Canada Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: "I have message for American friends...never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness...We bow to no one."

🇦🇫 En Afghanistan, une femme se suicide toutes les 12 à 24 heures.
C'est le seul pays au monde où les femmes se suicident davantage que les hommes.
Parmi elles, certaines n'ont que 11 ou 12 ans.

Un chiffre dénoncé dès 2022 par @Fawziakoofi77 ancienne vice-présidente du Parlement afghan, devant l'ONU.

Dans son documentaire “Afghanistan : Les soignantes de l'ombre”, la réalisatrice @melaninunes donne la parole à celles qui soignent et à celles pour qui la mort semble parfois être devenue la seule échappatoire.

Honoured and humbled. Thank you! 💧🏆

Receiving the 2026 Stockholm Water Prize is an extraordinary honour, but no journey like this belongs to one person.

My deepest gratitude to the Stockholm Water Foundation, the Stockholm Water Prize Jury, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the City of Stockholm, and Sweden for this incredible recognition and an unforgettable celebration.

This prize also belongs to the many people who have shaped my journey and made my work possible: my students and post-docs, my teachers and mentors, and my collaborators and colleagues across the world—in academia, the United Nations, governments, civil society, and beyond. I have learned from you, worked alongside you, and been inspired by you.

I am deeply grateful to those who nominated me for this honour and believed that my work was worthy of it. And I am reminded once again how incredibly lucky I am to have so many wonderful friends in so many corners of the world. Your messages, presence, encouragement, and love have meant more than I can say.

To my parents, my family, and my friends who have stood by me throughout this journey: thank you.

And above all, to my mom. Without her, I would have been nobody in this world. She made sacrifice after sacrifice so that I could learn, grow, dream, and succeed. Whatever I have achieved carries her love, strength, and sacrifices within it. ❤️

To Canada, my new home: thank you for welcoming me and for the extraordinary support you have given our work at UNU-INWEH, enabling us to continue working on some of the most pressing water challenges facing our world.

And finally, to my bigger family: the people of Iran.

Your love and support have followed me throughout my journey. Even when I have been far from home, you have never allowed me to feel that I was walking alone. I carry you, our struggles, our hopes, and our beautiful country with me wherever I go.

This may be a prize with one name on it, but there are countless names, faces, sacrifices, friendships, and acts of kindness behind it.

From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

Tack, Stockholm. Tack, Sverige. ❤️🇸🇪💧

New footage from Iran’s northern Mazandaran province shows a Pallas’s cat, one of the country’s rarest and least-studied felines. Nature enthusiast Majid Batebi said little is known about the species’ distribution and population in Iran, adding that the sighting highlights the need to protect Mazandaran’s mountainous habitats, particularly beyond the Hyrcanian forests.

Love it!

Nobody warns you that tiny ice skates on a dachshund and a pug can turn a rink into this full costume drama 😂. Watching the purple dress dog glide like a pro while the pug just belly-flops across the ice trying to keep up is the funniest thing you'll see all day.
