Every woman and girl has the right to feel safe everywhere.

Femicide can and must be prevented.

Every country must invest in prevention, enforce laws, and combat impunity.

Let's demand a world free from fear.

Everyone encounters challenges in life and it's natural to feel anxious, isolated or overwhelmed at times.

Prioritizing mental health is important during moments of difficulty or high stress.

Toilets are a place for progress

Sanitation is a human right. It protects everyone’s dignity, and especially transforms the lives of women and girls.
More investment and better governance of sanitation are critical for a fairer, more
peaceful world.

#DYK?

2.2 billion people lack access to #safewater‼️🤯

This means:

👉Exposure to severe #health issues, e.g. waterborne diseases, claiming countless lives

👉An obstacle to #economicdevelopment as communities daily spend hundreds of millions of hours collecting water instead of working or attending school

👉Women & girls are often disproportionately impacted, sustaining #genderinequality.

Access to clean water is a basic #humanright!

How can we move towards a more holistic way of #valuingnature?🤔

It is key to consider also non-material values, linked to cultural or spiritual connections.

4 broad categories of #stakeholders should be identified, those:
1⃣Living from river resources
2⃣Living in riverine landscapes
3⃣Living with riverine species and habitats
4⃣Living with the river 'as part of us'

Discover such different value types & dimensions 👇↔️

What is the water quality like in the lakes, rivers and aquifers in your country? How does the water quality in your region compare to others?

Darfur is often labelled the "first #climatechange conflict"

👉Decades of #drought pushed the Sahara desert 1km/yr southward🏜️

👉Alongside unsustainable land & water management, the availablility of resources dwindled 🧺

➡️Tension rose between farmers & nomadic pastoralists, sparking ethnic conflict 🚨

[UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) @UNESCOWWAP]

🌍 The valuation of #ecosystems is usually limited to material benefits (e.g. water provision 🚰)

However, non-material values may be just as precious: think of cultural, recreational or therapeutic aspects🧘🏽

We must shift towards integrated ecosystem valuation!🥇
