So important to get women back into all levels of education.

[Graduate Women International @GradWomen]

Afghan public universities reopen with gender segregated classes. Universities have reopened six months after Taliban returned to power, shamefully only a trickle of women have returned to classrooms.

Happy international women's day! #BreakTheBias There's such a lot still to do to overcome the gender gap but we continue to work to improve the future for women and girls.
Our thoughts today are particularly with our sisters caught up in violence and war.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

This #IWD2022 comes at a time when #Ukraine is under military attack & decades of progress on gender equality are being reversed in #Afghanistan.

Today & every day, let's remember that whatever the crisis, from conflict to climate, all women & girls must live free & equal.
