Our mandate faces its toughest challenges in #Afghanistan.
I shared my experiences for @DagHammarskjold on advocating for gender equality in crisis, and the honor of standing alongside Afghan women fighting for their rights.

The Taliban’s latest morality law isn't just a step backwards— it’s an assault on Afghan women and girls, stripping away their most basic freedoms and dignity. Reversal is not an option; it is an imperative.
I just returned from Northern #Afghanistan, where Afghan women told me what they want the world to know about their lives.
My remarks on their powerful message and on how we can continue to invest in their unbreakable resilience.

The images of burned people in #Rafah are appalling. Displaced multiple times, they sought shelter in makeshift tents for safety! For almost 8 months, women and girls have witnessed unimaginable horrors. This must stop.
Gaza urgently needs a ceasefire - now!
This #IWD2024 we must protect all women & girls in conflict.
In #Gaza, at least 9,000 women have been killed to date. This must stop.
We reiterate the call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
On this International Women’s Day, I call for peace.
We need a humanitarian ceasefire in #Gaza.
We need all hostages released.
We need justice for all women and a life free from violence.
And we need these now.
#IWD2024
Gender apartheid must be recognised as a crime against humanity, UN experts say, stressing the urgency due to the situation of women and girls in #Afghanistan under the #Taliban rule.

“We don’t have the right to decide what to wear – then how we can have impact on the community?”
Our latest data shows that within less than a year, Afghan women lost their influence at home by 51%.

Afghanistan emerged as the gravest women's rights crisis in the world, but Afghan women continue to have limited access to decision-making forums.
We've asked Afghan women how can decision-makers support them.
This is what they said: https://t.co/cc9CjGG2Ug
We will never stop amplifying the voices of Afghan women and girls.
With @UNAMAnews & @IOMAfghanistan we continue to ask Afghan women what they hope, what they fear and how decision-makers can support them.
Our latest report is out.

Close to half a million people have been forced to return to Afghanistan since October 2023.
80% - women and children.
With @IOMAfghanistan & @Samuel_Hall_ we are putting faces behind numbers to explore and understand what migration looks like for Afghan women.
#MigrantsDay
I’m the daughter of migrants.
I’m the product of what can happen when migration is a choice.
But for so many Afghans, migration is not a choice.
On #MigrantsDay and every day, we must work to ensure the rights of migrant Afghan women and girls are protected and upheld.
“We hope that our message will resonate with the world and that we will not be left alone to fight for our rights. “
We partner with @UNAMAnews & @IOMAfghanistan to understand what Afghan women experience, hope and fear.
Our latest report is out.

I meet with Afghan women every day.
There is one thing they all tell me.
They will not give up on their right to live lives of their own choosing.
And nor should we.
We stand with Afghan women on #HumanRightsDay and every day.
Their fight is our global fight.
An estimated 4,885 women have been killed in #Gaza in just 8 weeks.
Women & girls deserve peace, safety & a right to dream for their future.
We continue to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the protection of all civilians & for urgent delivery of lifesaving aid.
UN staff in #Afghanistan observe a minute of silence and the @UN flag is lowered to half-mast, as we mourn the more than 100 colleagues killed in Gaza – the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in the history of our organization.
#NotATarget
More @UN aid workers have been killed in recent weeks than in any comparable period in the history of our organization.
I join in the mourning of 89 of our @UNRWA colleagues who have been killed in Gaza – many of them with members of their family.
