A first of its kind report from the Northwest Territories reveals that Indigenous people and newcomers in the North Slave region of the territory experience discrimination at a rate far above national average.

We’ll achieve @GlobalGoalsUN only when there’s:

𝗡𝗢 👦 violence
𝗡𝗢 👧🏾 abuse
𝗡𝗢 🧒🏻 exploitation
𝗡𝗢 👧🏽 trafficking

Let's scale up efforts to #EndViolence against children.

This is not a resource problem, it’s a priority problem.

The world spent $2.7 trillion on defence.

Humanitarians are asking for just less than 1% of that to save 87 million lives in 2026.

Let's choose solidarity over indifference.

In 2024, we documented 284.4 K cases of missing people in almost 100 countries affected by armed conflict and/or armed violence, and the number is likely far higher.

Behind every missing person is a family looking for answers. They deserve to know.

To all the women who have been told that they are:
too loud,
too emotional,
too ambitious,
too difficult,
too bossy,
too much,
We hear you. We believe in you. We stand with you.
Let's fight the stereotypes together #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

For all the anti-immigrant folks... Gurdeep here is more Canadian than most people can only ever dream of being. Follow him. Learn from him... A person that truly loves this country & the people in it.

Today, we remember the 14 women whose lives were tragically taken at the Polytechnique Montréal 35 years ago.

Gender-based violence remains a grim reality in Canada, claiming lives nearly every week. We all have a role in ending femicide. Learn more: https://t.co/gFK8zLvlps

Screentime should empower young people — not put them at risk. But many girls face cyberbullying, harassment, and digital abuse with real-world harm.

[UN Office on Drugs & Crime @UNODC]

Digital violence goes far beyond cyberbullying and cyberstalking.

Online spaces can enable gender-based violence, abuse and harassment.

UNODC helps strengthen laws, train first responders and support justice systems to protect women, girls and everyone from online abuse.#16Days

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Violence doesn’t stop when funding does, it worsens.

In 2025, drastic cuts left millions of refugee women and girls without life-saving services.

Funding for gender-based violence programmes must be prioritized. #16Days

[United Nations @UN]

Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed by an intimate partner or family member.

Violence against women and girls must end.

Can't stress enough how important this is. Your brain will rot if your sole media diet is tweets and short-form videos. You need to be reading daily. The consequences of a world in which no one has the sustained attention to read a book will be catastrophic.

Across the #WestBank, settler violence targeting the annual olive harvest has continued, with ongoing attacks on Palestinian farmers and lands.

October 2025 is on track to be the most violent month since UNRWA began tracking settler violence in 2013.

“The annual olive harvest is the primary livelihood for tens of thousands of Palestinians, with olive trees deeply rooted in Palestinian heritage and identity.

Attacks on the olive harvest threaten the very way of life for many Palestinians and further deepen the coercive environment in the occupied West Bank.

Families should be allowed unhindered access to their lands to harvest their olives in safe conditions,” says Roland Friedrich, Director of UNRWA Affairs for the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

The humanitarian situation in Al Fasher and other parts of Sudan is nothing less than catastrophic. World leaders must act to end the indiscriminate killing.

We denounce the horrendous mass atrocities and killings, both indiscriminate and ethnically-targeted, that have culminated this week in and around El Fasher, Sudan.
