Man kann New Yorkern wirklich alles teuer verkaufen, solange sie es in weißen Kartons verpackt mitnehmen können - in dem Fall eine Box mit sechs halben (!) Brotscheiben für knapp $60, davon $10 das mit Nutella.

The small town of Gander in the Canadian province of Newfoundland saw its population virtually double when U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, grounding 38 international flights on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.

For five days, Newfoundlanders gave shelter and comfort to 7,000 stranded passengers and crew members. @conorknighton talks with Newfoundlanders who volunteered during the emergency, whose generosity to the "plane people" inspired the Broadway musical @wecomefromaway.

80 years ago, the world came together to write a new future.

The #UN Charter laid the foundation for peace, progress, and human rights. It protects our sovereignty, security, and prosperity.

Canada’s been part of it since day one.

I’ve seen it time and again: when women lead in diplomacy, peace processes are stronger, communities are heard, and results last.

On #WomenInDiplomacyDay, I celebrate the women shaping a fairer, more peaceful world—at the table and beyond.

[Cassandra Morin @CassfromCanada]

On #WomenInDiplomacy Day, I am grateful to have served with such incredible women at @CanadaUN, all fighting for human rights, promoting sustainable development, and advancing peace & security. @CanadaFP can be proud of its stellar cadre of women diplomats here & around the🌍!

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

Today's International Day of #WomenInDiplomacy focuses on removing structural barriers to♀️ leadership in diplomacy.

Some facts:
➡️ 25 countries have a female head of state or government
➡️Women make up 22.9% of cabinet ministers
➡️21% of UN permanent representatives are female

[Cassandra Morin @CassfromCanada]

Very proud of this initiative - if we are serious about building a UN that is fit for purpose, gender equality is central to our vision of a stronger, more just, and more effective multilateral system.

[Canada Mission UN @CanadaUN]

Canada delivered a joint statement on behalf of over 80 countries on mainstreaming gender equality in #UN80. "Gender equality cannot be an add-on; it is a foundational element of sustainable peace, inclusive development, and human rights."

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Minister Anand marked International Day of Women in Diplomacy at the @NATO Leaders’ Summit surrounded by other women leaders shaping global security, including @DepSecGenNATO and @Braze_Baiba.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Lesbian rights are human rights.
Gay rights are human rights.
Bisexual rights are human rights.
Transgender rights are human rights.

🚨 JOB ALERT 🚨

Can you name more members of Congress than members of your family? Do friends avoid you at parties because you won’t stop talking about budget reconciliation?

We have the perfect job for you!

Human rights are universal and non-negotiable.

They belong to all of us, as affirmed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights —regardless of nationality, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, beliefs, or any other status.

So proud to have played a part in this event - Ambassador @BobRae48 as @UNECOSOC brought together inspiring voices at a critical time. Intersectionality is not just a concept - it is a call to action. #CSW69

Ambassador @BobRae48 was pleased to host a panel on "Celebrating Intersectional Feminist Leadership at #Beijing30.” Feminist leadership is transformative leadership—it is about centering the experiences of diverse communities, dismantling systemic barriers & driving change.
