In #Haiti, insecurity has forced women from their homes and changed lives forever. But women are also finding strength in one another—and taking action. Working with local authorities, including mayors and police, women are helping prevent violence before it escalates—starting with their homes and…

POV: you’re working your way to a 10/10 on #GenderEquality. 👀 Some habits are easy. Some require speaking up. All of them count. How far did you get? #ForAllWomenAndGirls

“My hope for my children, grandchildren, and my village is lasting peace.” For some women in #Lebanon, war is a memory they thought was behind them. For others, it is becoming one of their first memories. Across three generations, women and girls spoke to UN Women Lebanon about their fears and…

Girls are not waiting for the future. They are shaping it now. With questions. With ideas. With demands for change. This #DayOfTheGirl, listen to girls. Include their perspective. Invest in their leadership. The future is theirs—and the future is now 💙 🔗 Read our full statement at the link in our…

Not me finding out equality won't happen for another 171 years #GenderEquality #ForAllWomenAndGirls

AI can automate a lot of things, but #GenderEquality isn’t one of them. So when women are missing from the rooms where #AI is built, led and governed, the consequences show up in the technology too. At the 81st session of the @UnitedNations General Assembly, we hosted a discussion on #feminism and…

⚠️ There's a gender power gap. Women are still being shut out of power. Progress faces setbacks. And not one target on #GenderEquality is on track for 2030. What we do with that information is up to us, and we need to take action now! Let's talk about the latest #GenderData, where we stand, and…

🤔 What kind of leader does the world need today? We do not need leaders with all the answers. We need leaders who can answer the call to 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏, 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕, and 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓. Listen to the words of @UNWomen Deputy Executive Director Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda as she shares her perspective on the…

Women don't need permission to lead. They need a fair chance. Yet 8 in 10 women candidates are subjected to violence, and in some countries the high cost of running for office keeps far too many women out of the race. Let's talk about why women's leadership matters, and join our call for equal…

🤯 6 out of 7 countries are still led by a man. If women don't have an equal say in decisions shaping our lives, how can we expect equal outcomes? Let's talk about the women's leadership gap, and join our call for equal power #ForAllWomenAndGirls. Learn more at the link in our bio 🔗. #UNGA

⚠️ We have good news and bad news. 👎 Women hold just 27% of parliamentary seats, and 6 in 7 countries are led by a man. 👍 We know what works to close the gap, and when women lead, everyone benefits. #ForAllWomenAndGirls, what we urgently need is the political will to act! See why the women's…

✨ And for the lady, perhaps… the full menu: Equal rights. Equal opportunities. Equal representation. No side of gender inequality, thanks 😉

𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐀𝐍. 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐎. 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋. Women all over the world are breaking the boundaries, stereotypes and barriers that limit their opportunities, choices, and potential. #GenderEquality starts when no one else gets to decide what women can or can't do. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Why are so many women so tired? “Helping” with care work is NOT the same as sharing it. From planning and cooking to caring for children and older relatives, daily errands and holding everything together, care work shouldn’t fall on one person. Care work is work. It should be shared. #ShareTheCare

Sometimes the biggest win is finding your way back to what you love — on your own terms. ⛸️✨ Olympic figure skating champion Alysa Liu is teaming up with @unwomen for #EqualPlay — because every girl deserves the freedom to take up space, trust herself and know her worth. Every rink. Every field…

Something joyful is coming. ⛸️ 28.08.26 #EqualPlay #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Gender equality shouldn't be a glitch we keep running into. Every day, women and girls face barriers to equal pay, equal opportunity, and equal say, in the workplace, at home, and online. The system needs an update. Let’s make equality the default #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

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

Some things aren't expenses. They're investments in a better future. 💸 The greatest returns come when women and girls have the rights, opportunities and support they deserve. That's a future #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Ten women come looking for help. Only two can be supported. That's the reality for #Haiti's first organization dedicated to women and girls with disabilities — providing grants, training, and a path forward for families like Philonia and her daughter Marie-Claude. Funding cuts mean even fewer…

The documentary everyone would recognize. Not because they've watched it. Because they've lived it. Women still do 2.5× more unpaid care work than men. It's time to recognize this invisible labour, value it, and #ShareTheCare. See how care work keeps the world running…

Millions of women and girls today still can't count on their rights being respected or protected. That's the real controversy. Rights should never depend on who you are, where you live, or whether anyone chooses to listen. Rights are #ForAllWomenAndGirls. Are you with us?

Finding the right support changed everything for Zahra*. Her hands would stiffen. She'd collapse and lose control, sometimes for hours. Then she found a women's organization supported by @UNWomen in #Afghanistan, with a doctor and a place to talk. This health centre became more than just a place…

These emojis may look simple, but the reality behind them isn't: 🍼 Who does care work? (Too often, women.) 💰 Who gets paid less? (Still mostly women.) 🗳️ Who gets to lead? (Very rarely, women.) Which other emojis would you add to the conversation? This #WorldEmojiDay and every day, let's keep…

In #Sudan, conflict-related sexual violence continues to be systemically used as a weapon of war against women and girls, with reported cases doubling over the past year. On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, see how @UNWomen stands with Sudanese women, and…

The #WorldCup should be a time of joy, connection and celebration — never fear. But for many, major sporting events can also bring increased risk of violence at home. As the world comes together to enjoy the beautiful game, @UNWomen Goodwill Ambassador @karlasouzatok shares a clear message…

The world is watching football ⚽ Billions of people. 48 nations. 1 game that unites us all. As the #FIFAWorldCup begins, we’re keeping our eyes on the goal: the beautiful game belonging to not just some but to all of us. Because when women and girls can play, lead, and win, sport does more than…

We asked @UNWomen Goodwill Ambassador and @Olympics athlete Eda Erdem for a hot take. She served facts instead 🏐 Sport builds confidence, and confidence changes lives, but only when the game is actually fair — and for too many women and girls, it's not. Not yet. So, until every girl has the same…

“We hear, see, and feel pain constantly. But stopping is not an option.” In the face of conflict-inflicted trauma, women are on the frontlines of #Lebanon’s humanitarian response. This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, see how UN Women Lebanon is scaling up gender-responsive mental health and…

🚨 45% of women journalists and media professionals reported self-censoring on social media to avoid abuse. Karen Davila, UN Women National Goodwill Ambassador for the Philippines, brings this reality into focus — and reminds us that when women journalists are silenced, truth is at risk. There's…
