Without funding, women with disabilities cannot be effectively mobilized. Barriers like transportation, security and limited leadership opportunities restrict their participation. They must be included in all sectors.” – Salma Mahbub, General Secretary, B-Scan. Pleased to join UN Assistant Secretary-General and @UN_Women Deputy Executive Director Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda @vanyaradzayi , together with the UN Women Bangladesh team, in meeting with the UN Women Civil Society Group and CSO partners in Dhaka, Bangladesh. 🇧🇩 The discussion took stock of the growing global backlash against gender equality and women’s rights globally and in the region. Key priorities raised included: ✅ Strengthening intergenerational and intersectional solidarity across the women’s movement ✅ Engaging men and youth more actively in advancing gender equality ✅ Addressing barriers faced by women with disabilities, gender-diverse groups, returnee women migrant workers and Indigenous communities ✅ Expanding behavioural change initiatives, tackling digital violence, improving access to justice and reforming discriminatory laws The engagement reaffirmed UN Women’s commitment to working alongside civil society and women’s rights movements to advance #GenderEquality, strengthen coordinated advocacy and ensure no woman or girl is left behind. #ForAllWomenAndGirls @vanyaradzayi @unwomenasia @unwomenchief
