Growing up, GVH Makawa saw girls denied education and GBV treated as normal. When she became chief, she vowed to change that. With support from UN Women’s #HeForShe UBRAF project, she’s leading efforts in Mangochi to end child marriage, keep girls in school, and #EndGBV.

On #LabourDay, let’s talk facts. Women around the world still earn, on average, 20% less than men for the same work. This is not just unfair — it’s a violation of rights and a barrier to equality. We stand for #EqualPay, #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Reality check: In 2025, we are witnessing a backlash against #GenderEquality. At the current rate of progress, a girl born today will be nearly🤯68 years old before child marriage is eradicated. We must demand equal rights #ForAllWomenAndGirls: ⬇️🔗 unwomen.org/en/get-involve…
