It has been 25 years since the World Conference on Women in Beijing, but true gender equality has not been realized world over. We need more commitment to realize #genderequality. https://t.co/n1TZHP9dn4

To support women to pursue the highest levels of education, institutions must consider women's special needs in;
👉Pregnancy
👉Care of newborn babies
👉Domestic chores &
👉Family responsibilities... https://t.co/3MiCmFwIxK

Ridiculous.

Climate change impacts women disproportionately because women are more likely to live in poverty than men and have less access to rights like the ability to freely move and acquire land.

Any summit on climate MUST include women.

Annually, as many as 460,000 girls are killed through abortion after gender-based sex selection and excess female mortality due to deliberate neglect of girls after birth.
👏We must value the lives of girls more. https://t.co/0wfOJ8znmA

The preference for male children in India is leading to increased cases of domestic violence and having multiple children until a boy is born. Women must be relieved from these pressures, because girls are valuable too. https://t.co/0wfOJ8znmA

According to the United Nations, when women🙎‍♀️🙎‍♀️ are included in a peace process, the agreement is 35% more likely to last at least 15 years 👏👏👏. We need more women as chief mediators in peace talks.

Women are disproportionately affected by conflict. Their voice in conflict resolution processes matters.

A 2014 study found that women in India averaged 6 hours of unpaid work a day, compared with 36 minutes for men. That is why we are advocating for equal distribution of domestic labour to ease the burden on women.

Leisure is a feminist issue. Unpaid domestic care work takes a toll on the health and well being of women. We hope that you will take this weekend as a chance to relax 😎😎

70 per cent of Cameroon’s population is young, and intelligent, but only 15 per cent of them have access to jobs in the public sector. We need equal opportunities for all youth all over Africa🔊🔊🔊.

According to a 2018 @McKinsey study , 8% of women in early-tenure jobs are promoted, while 10% of men are. It is time to close this gender gap🙎‍♀️🙍‍♂️ in promotions.

On #DemocracyDay, we celebrate that women worldwide are entering parliaments at unprecedented rates - but this has not necessarily led to meaningful change in women’s everyday lives...

Yes, #RepresentationMatters - but more still needs to be done!

There have been calls for people to stay safe from #COVID19 by staying at home. Sadly for a number of women, home is not synonymous with safety because of the risk of gender based violence from their partners. https://t.co/9XOriOiSl4
