Today, our capital proudly marks seven years of London Trans+ Pride.

As trans rights come under increasing pressure across the UK, this year’s march is a vital reminder: London is a city that stands for equality, dignity and pride - for everyone. 🏳️‍⚧️

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

Violence against women and girls is an abuse of human rights. Evidence shows it is preventable. The UK is committed to delivering action to end this violence.

At last year’s PSVI Conference, more than 50 countries signed a UK-led declaration to end sexual violence in conflict.

35% of women globally are affected by Gender based violence. Women with disability and in war settings are more likely to be abused, raped and subject to horrific violence. Evidence from @WhatWorksVAWG @wb_research @JPAL show us how stop it: let’s use it!!

Delighted to see the launch of the UK White Paper, setting out the development priorities to 2030, and including using science and innovation to tackle global challenges and accelerate progress on the SDGs. @FCDOResearch #fcdocsa

[UN Women @UN_Women]

📊 Gender statistics are the compass guiding us towards a more equal world.
Yet, shockingly, 44% of the data needed to track #GenderEquality is missing worldwide.🌍
Let's change that.

Stay tuned for our new Gender Snapshot with @UNDESA, launching 7 September!📆
