Human rights are universal and not up for debate. What else is not up for debate? The fact that we ALL have a responsibility to defend human rights for all people. It’s our most important duty as humanity. #HumanRightsDay

As #16Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence comes to an end, the work to protect girls & women must continue. Our colleague, Jennifer Schlecht devoted her entire career to this work. Please contribute to a fund in her honor. ow.ly/8TJ350xwCcd.

We remember Jennifer as a passionate advocate and a leader in the field of #familyplanning and humanitarian response. At this difficult time we are first and foremost thinking about her family. #RIPJennSchlecht #preventdomesticviolence #16Days

I’ve been so proud to see #GivingTuesday go viral, go global, go creative and GO BIG since a small group of us championed the new idea in 2012. Let's keep it up and give our time, our hearts and our dollars to create the change we need around the world.

#GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the 🌎🌍🌏.

It has been a profound honor to champion and serve the @UN. Last night reminded me of the progress we have made together, and what more we can do to create a fairer future. Thank you to all who have stepped up to #GlobalLeadership with us!

Building a world where every child is safe, healthy, and can choose their future is our biggest responsibility. And, our work isn't done until we make that a reality. #WorldChildrensDay
United Nations Foundation@unfoundation

30 years ago today, world leaders made a promise to children: We will keep you safe We will help you learn We will always uphold your right to speak and be heard. Today on #WorldChildrensDay, it's time to fulfill the promise of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Where we see opportunity, we must take it. Where we see progress, we must protect it. Where we see rollbacks, we must mobilize against them. My reflections on progress, pushback, and the path forward for #reprohealth and rights: bit.ly/2Clkf4K #NairobiSummit #ICPD25

#CleanCookingIs the best investment to lift 3 billion women & children out of extreme poverty. It's a powerful solution that can transform lives and we don't always talk about it. Let's change that. What does clean cooking mean to you? CleanCooking.is

Now is THE time for the U.S. to lead – not retreat -- on the #climate crisis. The science is unmistakable: Our window for bold action is closing quickly. Thankfully, there are American leaders – from young people to CEOs – uniting with the world behind the #ParisAgreement.
