Proud of my amazing team, our partners and young advocates who were unequivocal in their message and unwavering in their commitment to girls' rights this morning #CSW69#Beijing30#GirlGoals#Power4Girls@UNICEF
"I will not live in a world where girls aren’t treated equally or encouraged to live their lives to the fullest potential."
Our Goodwill Ambassador Millie Bobby Brown's powerful speech at the UN. She is raising her voice for every girl. Are you listening? #GirlGoals#POWER4Girls
I’ve met girls around the world who are leading change in their communities, despite the challenges they face.
This is what they’re telling us.
#GirlGoals#IWD2025
Every girl has the right to shape her future, yet millions face barriers just for being girls.
Let’s listen to their voices and invest in their rights, because when we empower girls, we uplift entire communities.

Happy to share that I have started a new position as Senior Advisor on Gender Equality at UNICEF! Because equal rights and opportunities for girls and boys help all children fulfill their potential.

I have been fascinated by BRAC's ELA programme for many years. So I'm thrilled to finally share a synthesis of their learnings from implementing the programme in Africa. Join us!
What lessons have we learned from 15 years of the Empowerment and Livelihood for Adolescents (ELA) programme in Africa?
Join for a presentation of key findings & an engaging discussion on #GenderEquality, #SRHR & more.

Shout out to @Pop_Council for the lovely feature! It's where I started my career in research, demography, gender, adolescents, and SRHR.

Proud to have contributed to @UNFPA's new family planning strategy which seeks to expand choices and ensure the rights of young people, especially adolescent girls, in a diverse and changing world https://t.co/C3SyPxwOxE #BodilyAutonomy#SRHR#GenderEquality#HealthEquity
For #DayOfTheGirl#IDG2022 see our new brief on estimating child marriage incidence.
Child marriage rates increase gradually from age 10 to age 14, and accelerate significantly at ages 15, 16 and 17. Intervening in early adolescence is essential!

Adolescent pregnancy is a huge rights issue, a social issue, a public health issue, an economic issue. See our interview with @exemplarshealth explaining the scale of the phenomenon
Nearly 1 in 3 women in lower- and middle-income countries are becoming mothers while they're still teenagers – but @UNFPA says some countries offer a way forward. @satvikac https://t.co/Yd3muiJZrS
Did you know that nearly one third of all women in LMICs begin childbearing in adolescence? Thrilled that the report @angarbett and I have been working on for the past year is out! @UNFPA@JulittaOnabanjo@UNFPAyouth@UNFPA_Nordic https://t.co/hzMUkS0pkU.
