One in three women experience gender-based violence.

This is not a statistic — it is the greatest failure of our societies, and the darkest echo of male dominance.

There is #NoExcuse. Violence against women and girls is preventable — and ending it is everyone’s responsibility.

Pope Francis leaves behind a legacy of faith, service & compassion.

Our divided world will be a much better place if we follow his example of unity & mutual understanding in our own actions.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

May you rest in peace, Pope Francis.

You stood up and spoke out — relentlessly — for the poor, the persecuted, the victims of war, the refugees, the migrants.

May you continue to give us faith and courage in this brutal world.

The creation of the UN was the result of a global commitment to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war."

80 years later, the UN remains essential for advancing peace, prosperity & human rights.

When women and girls rise, everyone thrives.

Never has the @UN been so much under political, moral and even physical attack.

Yet, where else can a divided world find space to talk?

We must preserve it, difficult as it is.

The ocean is home to 250,000 known species & countless more awaiting discovery.

Yet, marine species face a triple threat of rising temperatures, acidification & deoxygenation.

Let's do more to protect this biodiversity hotspot: https://t.co/aCCeGUYDJs

Our planet is telling us something, but we don't seem to be listening.

It’s time to mobilise, act & deliver.

It's #ClimateAction crunch time.
