At the current rate, it will take 286 years to remove laws discriminating against women & girls. Millennia of inequality won't end without collective action. Leaders must act now for equal representation & pay. We cannot wait 286 years. We should not have to wait another day.

حقوق الإنسان لا لون لها، ولا عرق، ولا جنسية. لكل فرد الحق في الكرامة والاحترام والمساواة في المعاملة، في المطارات، وأماكن العمل، وكل مناحي الحياة. العنصرية والتمييز يضرّان بنا جميعًا. لنوحّد جهودنا لضمان ألا يتعرض أي شخص للإهانة أو الإقصاء. #حقوق_الإنسان_للجميع

Intl law is being eroded not just by violations, but by silence and complicity. Amid rising conflict, we need global leadership that defends human rights consistently—in every crisis, for every person. As #HRC59 ends, I urge govts to reflect & act for rights & #RuleOfLaw
