Female genital mutilation is a grave human rights violation & harmful practice deeply rooted in discrimination against women & girls. It denies them their bodily autonomy and dignity. We must unite to #EndFGM, building a future where all women & girls are free from harm. #GBV

🌎A peaceful & sustainable future needs women & girls in science. From discovering the universe to life-saving remedies, they’ve achieved progress. Yet gender gaps in STEM persist, esp. in leadership. On the #IDWGS, we must break barriers & bias ensuring equal opportunity for all

Families should be spaces of safety, love, care, and dignity—where everyone can thrive. On #InternationalDayofFamilies, we call on States to ensure laws and policies empower women and girls, and protect their rights to and within the family. #EqualityStartsAtHome
