The needs are reaching historic levels—but funding is ever-shrinking. 

Although 84% of women’s organizations say demand has increased, nearly 9 in 10 can no longer meet current needs, and 2 in 5 could shut down within a year.

Women’s organizations are indispensable first responders in a crisis.

Yet, they are collapsing, due to the steepest annual decline in official development assistance on record.

@‌UN_Women is calling for sustained investment: https://t.co/C0N52S8NuP

Today, we celebrate #GretaGerwig born #OnThisDay.

Through her films, she challenges gender norms and sparks global conversations on #GenderEquality and women's empowerment.

Thank you for amplifying women's voices and experiences 💙

When stories of abuse continue to dominate the news, they're a reminder that consent is still too often misunderstood, ignored, or dismissed.

Every woman and girl has the right to have her consent respected.

Today we remember Bertha Lutz, born #OnThisDay in 1894.

She was one of 4 women to sign the @‌UN Charter in 1945 to help maintain global #peace and security.

In a world dominated by men, #BerthaLutz wasn't only a diplomat, but also a zoologist and politician.

The documentary everyone would recognize.

Not because they've watched it.

Because they've lived it.

Women still do 2.5× more unpaid care work than men.

It's time to recognize this invisible labour, value it, and #ShareTheCare.

No woman or girl should be unsafe at home, at work, in the streets or online.

There’s #NoExcuse for gender-based violence.

Women and girls worldwide are being trafficked into forced criminality—and often punished for it.

They deserve protection, not punishment.

Join the call to #EndHumanTrafficking.

On #FriendshipDay, we celebrate friendships that make space, open doors, and remind us that none of us has to do it alone.

Here’s to a world where women champion women every day.

This #InternationalDayOfFriendship, tag a woman who you can always count on to have your back 💙

Families thrive when dads #ShareTheCare 💖

@‌UN_Women's Dare to Care programme—funded by Sweden, Germany, and the Basque Country region—challenges gender norms that limit men's role in caregiving.

✨ Young women and adolescent girls are not just the future – they are the present.

We need to amplify their voice and leadership to make #GenderEquality a reality #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Together, we can be the generation for lasting change.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Today and every day, let us:

💙 Celebrate our unity in diversity

💙 Raise awareness of the importance of solidarity

Extreme heat is not just a weather issue.

It's a health issue. A safety issue. An equality issue.

See how extreme heat is deepening gender inequality, and how #ClimateAction can better protect and build a future #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

#AmeliaEarhart, born #OnThisDay, was the 1st woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.

After crossing the Pacific, she became the 1st person to have flown solo across both oceans.

She opened up the skies for women, and continues to be an inspiration to us all. ✈️

Drone attacks by day. Sexual violence by night.

Women and girls in #Sudan's El Obeid have nowhere to turn.

No woman or girl should have to choose between the threat of sexual violence and the need for clean water.

Millions of women and girls today still can't count on their rights being respected or protected.

That's the real controversy.

Rights should never depend on who you are, where you live, or whether anyone chooses to listen.

Rights are #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Are you with us?

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Care work is NOT women's work.

It's a responsibility that should be shared by family members, communities, and countries.

Through @UN_Women's Caring Cities initiative, see how @unwomennepal is taking action to #ShareTheCare in provinces across #Nepal.

Finding support was life-changing for Zahra*.

A doctor. A place to talk. A source of hope.

But that may not be the case for the next woman in need.

Every chess game is shaped by the moves we make.

The same is true for progress towards gender equality.

♟️This #WorldChessDay, every step that advances the rights, equality and empowerment of women and girls moves us closer to a more equal world.

#EqualPlay

[UN Women @UN_Women]

No institution on earth has football's power to make billions of people feel the same thing at the same time.

⚽ Let's use the #WorldCup final to move that power towards equality too—on and off the pitch.

That's #EqualPlay.
