Congratulations @Phoebe_Okowa on your election by the #UNGA & #UNSC as a judge of the International Court of Justice @CIJ_ICJ. Quite historic, being the first Kenyan judge and first Kenyan woman on the 15-member bench. Quite apt!
@SIF_ONG The unholy convergence of Climate & Conflict in Somalia is killing millions of lives & ruining millions of livelihoods, devastating the ecosystem & ruining the country's economy. Human Action is to BLAME and ONLY Urgent Human Action will STOP Both! @SIF_ONG
Why is 50% of @citizentvkenya news about deaths and killings? There’s a lot of developmental happenings around the country that is newsworthy but Citizen instead ignores for the depressing news about death & killings. And never any viewer discretion alert!!! @VickyRubadiri
As UNSG @antonioguterres says, "Now, more than ever, we need to bring to life the values and principles of the #UNCharter in every corner of the world." One of the ways is by balancing the scales of opportunity and freedom for women & girls and ensure human rights for all.
#UNDay
Today is #UNDay and we are reminded that everyone is entitled to human rights. Since 1976 @UNFPA has been working in #Afghanistan to support women and girls to live empowered and with dignity. We continue to do this even in very challenging times.
Happy UN Day! Today, the United Nations remains as relevant to global #peace, #security, and friendly co-existence and #cooperation among world nations as it was on 24 Oct. 1945 when the UN Charter came into effect and the United Nations established. #UN#UNDay#unitednations.
@EhsanPopal7@UNFPAAfg@EhsanPopal7 the future looks bright. @UNFPAAfg offers a perfect platform to realise your full potential as an Afghan youth. Keep up the spirit and the good work in championing #Youth agenda.
High-quality #midwifery education = High-quality #maternity care.
In #Helmand and #Nimroz, 62 students started training to become future midwives to ensure skilled care at every birth, and promote better health within their communities.
Today is Intl Day to #EndPoverty. The @UN projects that almost half of the new poor will be in South Asia. In #Afghanistan, @UNFPA works to reach women & girls with reproductive health services and support elimination of gender inequalities to help break the cycle of poverty.
Persons living in poverty experience many deprivations, including access to health care, that prevent them from realizing their rights and perpetuate their poverty.
@UNFPA works with partners to improve access to reproductive health services in #Afghanistan to help #EndPoverty.
“I see much needed steps towards recognition, justice and development for Black people everywhere.”
