🚨 @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—strongly condemns the strike on Jabalia refugee camp in #Gaza.

Civilians and civilian infrastructure, including camps for refugees and the internally displaced, are #NotATarget.

🚨النساء الحوامل في #غزة يخضعن لعمليات قيصرية قسرية دون تخدير

وهو ما يشكل خطرا على حياتهن.

لقد حان الوقت لوقف إطلاق النار، وضمان وصولهن إلى خدمات الأمومة والحفاظ على رفاههن.

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

One of the best questions journalists can be asking about Gaza right now is why we’ve been ok with a fifteen year long blockade that violates the most basic principles of civilian protection.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

It is immoral for oil & gas companies to be making record profits from the current energy crisis on the backs of the poorest, at a massive cost to the climate.

I urge all governments to tax these excessive profits & use the funds to support the most vulnerable people.

We should celebrate #AfricasWomensDay every day by advancing our sisters' rights, freedoms and social protections.

For regional action to support countries on the road to post-pandemic recovery at #HLPF, it’s more important than ever that we have the right data to navigate the choices and risks ahead. #SDGs #DatawithPurpose.

Cross-border aid is a matter of life and death for millions of people in north-west #Syria. This lifeline has now been extended, but only for six months. I hope the Security Council will renew this lifeline again to help us provide desperately needed aid to Syrians.

A ray of hope in a world darkened by crises.

Today in Istanbul, we have seen a major step forward to ensure the export of Ukrainian food products through the Black Sea.

I salute the commitment of all those working to secure an agreement for our common humanity.

“What were you wearing?”

This seemingly innocuous exhibit at @UN HQ gave me goosebumps: a powerful subversion of the dismissive accusation thrown at survivors of sexual violence.

Via @GlobalSpotlight and @RiseNowUS, and generous support from @EU_Commission.

Achieving equality is not about counting people but making sure people count.

UNFPA and UNCTAD collaboration at its best. Two amazing women leaders reshaping how the world does business.

[Diene Keita @unfpachief]

I had a thought-provoking meeting with @RGrynspan today. We discussed partnership strategies to address global socio-economic challenges and to sustain financing for the SDGs with women and girls at the centre.
