Afghanistan stands at a precipice, with millions in dire need.

We fully support the 1988 humanitarian safeguard up for vote in the #UNSC tomorrow. We must spare no effort to save lives.

@pass_blue @USAmbUN @SCProcedure So it looks like we've got a 6 month extension for Bab al-Hawa, during which the UNSC will need to negotiate whether a vote in January 2022 for the 2nd extension will be necessary.

@diplocharlie [rightly] calls this "constructive ambiguity," but in truth, it's more uncertainty.

How has the #GenerationEqualityForum delivered for girls?

Our analysis finds promise, though gaps remain in specific commitments to work directly with them: https://t.co/x7BPSSKJVs

[5/5] As adolescent girls wrote, “We deserve to be part of the final decision process, not only the discussions.” We support adolescent girls’ rights & call to action for all #GenerationEquality actors to be accountable to girls. https://t.co/bDMkJw01DB

"2021 must be the year young people stand on our shoulders, as not just the leaders of the future, but the leaders of today and tomorrow” - @phumzileunwomen

@GenEgaliteFR was a chance to meaningfully include girls but reality fell short. Why this matters & what must be done:

[SaveChildrenUN @SaveChildrenUN]

[4/5] Part of being safe & child-friendly includes providing accessible information and platforms. Enabling meaningful participation requires improved access, flexibility, funding and new ways of working. https://t.co/OoBFSXu7dc

[SaveChildrenUN @SaveChildrenUN]

[3/5] We have heard too little directly from adolescent girls themselves about their experiences, priorities, and solutions to drive toward #GenerationEquality. And too little about the gender inequalities and rights violations that occur during childhood, like child marriage.

[SaveChildrenUN @SaveChildrenUN]

[2/5] Many at the #GenerationEquality Forum, including Heads of State, noted how patriarchal norms & power dynamics keep us from achieving #genderequality. Power imbalances continue when processes do not account for gender AND age-related needs.

We've committed to supporting adolescent girls to access essential opportunities to gain leadership skills. #GenerationEquality is a powerful moment for world leaders & policymakers to do the same. https://t.co/OoBFSXu7dc #ActforEqual

[UNFPA-UNICEF Global Programme End Child Marriage @GPChildMarriage]

One of the targets for the #GenerationEquality Action Coalition on gender-based violence is that 55 more countries outlaw #ChildMarriage without exceptions.

We need to #EndChildMarriage now. 🌎🌍🌏

[SaveChildrenUN @SaveChildrenUN]

We are pleased to see commitments to fund women-led organizations as part of the of #GenerationEquality Action Coalition on Gender-Based Violence.

Success also requires specific attention to girl-led groups.

@GenEgaliteFR @IcelandUN @KenyaMissionUN @UKUN_NewYork @UruguayONU

[SaveChildrenUN @SaveChildrenUN]

We need to address harmful practices & ensure adolescent girls can fully participate in decisions that affect them.

[Janti Soeripto @SaveCEO_US]

For the first time in two decades, a girl’s risk of child marriage is increasing.

That's why @SavetheChildren is joining the fight for #GenerationEquality.

We're calling on governments, civil society, and the private sector to stand with adolescent girls to #EndChildMarriage.

[SaveChildrenUN @SaveChildrenUN]

If we're to achieve #genderequality, governments need to include girls in policy decision-making. SHARE the Girls Open Letter to World Leaders, essential reading before @GenEgaliteFR: https://t.co/OMPgr24CBL
