Happy #WorldChildrensDay! Sweden works with partners & communities through programs such as Education Plus initiative & 'Omusadda ye Mpago' to help girls stay in school & promote positive masculinity, ensuring that boys and men become champions for girls’ rights! #MyDayMyRights

Denying SRHR in a crisis is a denial of humanity. @UNFPA is working across East and Southern Africa to ensure no woman is left behind. #HumanRights #SRHR #WomenInConflict #ProtectWomenandGirls #WithHer

Girls & young women with disabilities are calling for more gender-responsive and inclusive education systems. Girls with disabilities have an equal right to education 💪 ungei.org/media/girls-di…

Linet Githii, our peer mentor joined the panel discussion to share her journey: "My story is proof that big dreams are achievable with time, passion, & hard work. Throughout my journey with @SiemensAfrica EmpowerHER & @AGCCIAfrica_1 ,I was mentored to become more confident"

A girl growing up today risks having fewer rights than her mother, and in some cases, even her grandmother. The time for change is now⏰

Tracking everything from resource allocation to long-term outcomes and using regular evaluations to generate actionable data insights, can ensure that our efforts are truly impactful and responsive to the needs of young people. #YouthWellbeing

"Early pregnancies can have serious physical and psychological consequences for girls and young women, and often reflect fundamental inequalities that affect their ability to shape their relationships and their lives" - Dr Pascale Allotey @WHO Director. who.int/news/item/23-0…

🌍 34 African countries spend more on debt than healthcare. As finance ministers travel to the US this week for #WBGMeetings, courage and cooperation on debt relief & fair taxation are essential. The cost of inaction? Lives lost. news24.com/news24/opinion…

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are imagining what happens when ALL voices in science are included. Today, only 1/3 of scientists are women, and too many girls are still discouraged from pursuing STEM education. 🚀 When more girls participate in science, the world benefits from more innovation, more discoveries, and a stronger future for all. Let’s encourage more girls to pursue a science education. Learn more: unesco.org/en/days/women-… #EveryVoiceInScience #WomenInScience
