Great honour to meet with His Majesty @KingAbdullahII today in NY. @UN_Women has a solid partnership with #Jordan and will continue to promote women’s & girls’ empowerment in all areas. https://t.co/K6recDC3cF

@unwomenchief Great to meet with Minister for International Development Cooperation Matilda @ernkrans. #Sweden’s renewed multi-year flexible core support will drive @UN_Women‘s priorities forward & impact the lives of women and girls, including on #WPS & #COVID19 recovery.@SweMFA

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

I urged #UNSC to increase funding for the women, peace & security agenda & curb military spending. More must be done to end violence against women and support their meaningful participation in peace & security processes. Women’s participation brings sustainable peace.

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

I am inspired and motivated by the women peacebuilders and mediators around the world standing up against injustice and shaping peace in their communities.

The #InTheirHands exhibition at the @UN showcases the images & stories of these heroes: https://t.co/Dl3233tvbi

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today I visited a powerful @UN exhibit bringing to life the inspiring stories of women dedicating their lives to peace.

The best way to honour their strength & bravery is to ensure the meaningful participation of women in all peace & political processes.

Peace is best built through full inclusion.

The @UN is committed to truly inclusive peacemaking, where women’s participation & rights are at the centre of everything we do — everywhere we do it.

Women's leadership brings sustainable peace to all of society. #UNSCR1325

Always a pleasure to receive Sima Bahous, especially now in her new function as @unwomenchief!

We need to accelerate progress during the #DecadeOfAction.

You can continue to count on the UAE as a key partner in your efforts to empower women & girls to achieve SDG5 globally.

So pleased to meet with Nicolas de Rivière @NDeRiviere, Permanent Representative of @franceonu.

We discussed our shared vision for gender equality around the world. We greatly appreciate France's support to @UN_Women and #GenerationEquality.

[Nicolas de Rivière @NDeRiviere]

Congratulations to my friend @SimaBahous for her new role as Executive Director of @UN_Women.

We exchanged today on the need to defend the rights of women & girls in conflict areas such as Afghanistan & around the world. France stands with UN Women to promote #GenerationEquality

[UN Women @UN_Women]

“Broken promises lead to broken dreams for the women and girls of Afghanistan”, says @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres. Read his call to action to keep women and girls at the centre of action via @UN_News_Centre: https://t.co/VBDeDQzPO0

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am alarmed to see promises made to Afghan women and girls by the Taliban being broken.

I strongly appeal to the Taliban to keep their promises to women and girls and their obligations under international human rights law.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

As we mark #DayOfTheGirl, I think of the courageous and resilient girls and women I met during my visits to Afghanistan.

The hard-won gains of women and girls must be preserved and their rights must be upheld.

Without them, the Afghan economy and society will not recover.

[Sima Bahous @SimaBahous]

I was honoured to be sworn into office today by @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres as the Executive Director of @UN_Women and to take up the torch to uphold the rights of all women and girls across the world.
