It’s #DayOfTheGirl and this is a reminder:

Education is not a privilege. It is a fundamental RIGHT.

Yet 110 million girls and young women will remain out of school in 2030 at the current rate of progress.

Women are still waiting for equal opportunities and equal pay.

For equality under the law.

For their work to be valued and their opinions to count.

Gender equality is not a favour to women. It is fundamental to ensuring a better future for all.

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

To Afghan women and girls:

I will not stop amplifying your voices.

Our commitment as @UN_Women to your fight is unshakable.

I reiterated this across all my #UNGA78 engagements.

I will do so again as I brief the 🇺🇳Security Council tomorrow.

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

Men have to do their part.

They have to put their hearts and minds into action.

They must be #RespectfullyDisruptive.

To end gender inequality for all.

Now. And Forever.

My call to action as I opened the #HeforShe event today.

UN Women welcomes the establishment of the International Day of Care and Support (29 Oct) by the General Assembly.

Most unpaid carework is undertaken by women and girls, and its recognition by Member States is crucial for progress on gender equality and sustainable development.

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

The #StateoftheWorldsFathers 2023 report shows that while fathers are doing more childcare, they still do markedly less than women. Let's change this.

Investing in care work is critical for sustainable development and #GenderEquality.

@equimundo_org @MenCareGlobal #WD2023

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

Gender equality cannot be piecemeal. We discussed the interconnectedness of digital technology, gender-based violence and economic empowerment at #WD2023 Ministerial Roundtable.

Joint work is necessary to accelerate progress on #SDG5 and implement the #CSW67 Agreed Conclusions.
