One year on from the horrific October 7th attacks, we condemn the attack by Hamas in Israel, call for all hostages to be released and a lasting ceasefire.

It’s World Humanitarian Day!

Today and every day, we honour the brave humanitarians worldwide who sacrifice their lives to aid those in need. We must end the normalisation of increasing attacks against civilians and aid workers.

#Paris2024 may be the first Olympic Games to achieve 50:50 gender representation amongst athletes, but it hasn't achieved total equality just yet.

Women athletes still face inequality in:
👉 Pay
👉 Investment
👉 Leadership
👉 Media presence

Join us in calling to #ChangeTheGame!

#Care work is central to thriving societies and economies.

In the UK, Women provide £283 billion work of unpaid childcare and £50 billion worth of unpaid adult care each year.

To achieve a sustainable, stable economy in the UK, we must invest in the care economy.

[UN Women UK @UNWomenUK]

How many Olympics have had equal participation of athletes?

None - until now.

The race to equality is definitely underway at #PARIS2024
