This is something we wish we could say. #AprilFoolsDay

But we have the blueprint and the determination.

Until that headline is a reality, we keep pushing forward.

[UN Women Europe & Central Asia @unwomeneca]

Look closer—do you see what’s missing?

Without intersectional #GenderData, too many women & girls remain unseen.

Through @JointSDGFund, we support countries to ensure no one is left behind.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤:

It's 2026 and no country has achieved #GenderEquality, nor is close to it. 🤯

We need to step up our efforts for a better future #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

We also echo @PACE_News's call for strategic, cross-institutional response to the organized global backlash against women's rights.

Defending and advancing gender equality requires broad, unyielding coalitions across parliaments, international organizations, and civil society.

[UN Women Europe & Central Asia @unwomeneca]

For the first time since its creation in 1949, the @PACE_News has achieved gender parity in its membership. 👏

This historic milestone demonstrates that equal representation is attainable through robust rules & steadfast commitment.

[PACE_Equality @PACE_Equality]

🆕From 37% in 2021 to #genderparity in 2026, @PACE_News leads by example.

🛎️Following #CSW70, @PACE_Equality urges global action to counter the organised backlash against #womensrights. Progress is possible, but it takes commitment.

Care requires proximity, trust & quality employment—the exact pillars of the social economy.

Thank you to @empleogob, Social Economy Entities & @fiap_es for hosting us!

Together with @FCDOGovUK, we are bringing these models back to the Western Balkans #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

[UN Women Europe & Central Asia @unwomeneca]

We conclude our #TransformCare study visit in Madrid 🇪🇸 with a shared conviction: fair care systems are essential for social cohesion, gender equality & decent work.

On Day 3, decision-makers from the Western Balkans explored how the social economy can drive this transformation.

[UN Women Europe & Central Asia @unwomeneca]

To end violence against women, we need evidence that shows the full picture.  🔎

The overarching lesson? We must change systems to fit people’s needs, not the reverse.

Investing in inclusive care systems is an investment in resilient economies & gender equality.

Together with @FCDOGovUK, we are working to #TransformCare in the Western Balkans & beyond.

[UN Women Europe & Central Asia @unwomeneca]

Care is not just a social issue—it’s an economic one. 🌍

Day 2 of our #TransformCare visit in Madrid 🇪🇸 brought 40 Western Balkan decision-makers together with @ComunidadMadrid, @IgualdadGob & @ApplusIDIADA to discuss the economic impact of care.

Here is what we learned 🧵👇

❗Ending violence against women starts with knowing the reality. Yet many countries still have to act without the data they need.

🔹 Care systems must be flexible, personalized & rights-based.
🔹 Real change requires centering the people most affected.
🔹 Care goes beyond child/eldercare—it is the foundation of society.

Stay tuned for Day 2! 🌍

[UN Women Europe & Central Asia @unwomeneca]

Day 1 of our study visit in Madrid, 🇪🇸 is a wrap! Our key takeaway: Care is a human right.

Under @UN_Women's #TransformCare initiative, supported by @FCDOGovUK, 40 decision-makers from the Western Balkans concluded a highly productive first day.

Here are our top insights 🧵👇

[UN Women Europe & Central Asia @unwomeneca]

Key takeaways from our strategic exchanges with Spanish ministries & civil society:

🔹 Public budgets must fund gender equality & care reform.
🔹 Care is essential to the economy, not an "extra" policy.
🔹 Strong care systems require decent conditions for care workers.

Inequality goes deeper than what we see — #GenderData helps reveal it🔍

Through the @JointSDGFund #EmpoweringEquality programme, we’re powering better gender statistics #ForAllWomenAndGirls✨

❗️Invest in gender data.

Change starts with evidence.
