The future we want starts with the values we uphold today. Let's keep pushing for a world where every woman and girl can exercise their rights, live in equality, and realize their power, everywhere. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Only once or twice a month. For half of Afghan women, that's how often they leave their homes. The exclusion of women and girls in #Afghanistan from public life must NEVER be normalized. Five years since the Taliban takeover, learn how the systematic dismantling of women's and girls' rights has reshaped every aspect of their lives in Afghanistan. 🔗 Our fact sheet: https://lnkd.in/eMRqV-nR

At the heart of feminism is a simple principle: equality. #OnThisDay, we celebrate Jennifer Lawrence — an actor and producer, who has spoken openly about equal pay, women’s rights and why equality should never be something to fear. Happy birthday, Jennifer! 💙 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

#DidYouKnow: Girls in #Afghanistan are still banned from attending high school. The impact of keeping girls out of classrooms doesn't end with them—it also holds back their communities and the country’s development. Education should be #ForAllWomenAndGirls. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/deQAA3fH

When gangs take over communities, women-led organizations help survivors find safety. Across #Haiti, women like Roselene Pierre are on call 24/7, providing shelter, psychological support and other critical services to women and children fleeing violence. But as needs rise, funding is running out. 1 in 3 women's organizations could close within the next year. Read Roselene's story: https://lnkd.in/evs_VCGP / at the link in our bio. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Young women and girls are shaping their own futures—and the future of their communities. Yet persistent inequalities continue to stand in their way. This #YouthDay, we call for a world where every young woman and girl can learn, lead and thrive.

⚠️ Findings from a new UN Women report: 7 in 10 women in #Afghanistan describe their mental health as ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’. Five years since the Taliban takeover, the mental health toll for women and girls is undeniable. We need more support for Afghan women's mental health, not more isolation. 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eHiU5X67

A 7.4-magnitude earthquake has devastated communities across western #Colombia, and the toll continues to rise. Disasters don’t affect everyone equally. Displacement, disrupted health services and crowded shelters can heighten risks for women and girls — from limited access to reproductive health care to increased exposure to violence. UN Women is working alongside the Government of Colombia and partners to help ensure the needs, rights and safety of women and girls are addressed in emergency response and recovery efforts. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

The key to progress isn’t waiting for change. It’s creating it. #OnThisDay, we celebrate Viola Davis and the impact of using her voice to challenge barriers, expand representation and open doors for others. Happy birthday, Viola! 💙 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Care work—paid and unpaid—keeps the world running. It's in 🍲 meals prepared, 🚸 children walked to school, 👵🏼 aging parents supported, 🧺 laundry washed and folded, and 📝 countless invisible tasks that make daily life possible. Yet, this work remains undervalued and unequally distributed. As a matter of human rights, we must #ShareTheCare. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eENqeWtH
