#BeatPlasticPollution Did you know Recycling doesn’t fix the environmental problems caused by plastic bottles? 80% of plastic bottles do not get recycled, instead they are throw in landfill. @deespeak @GaryLewisUN @AUThackeray @sudarsansand @zerowastehome @TurnTidePlastic

Discussing with the #Mozambique Vice Minister and UN Res Coord. on new EU Spotlight Initiative against #GBV, Geracao Biz program growth, and role of Youth as key to sustainable development/ #SDGs.

"O involvimento de todas as instituições do Estado é fundamental para a eliminação de todas as formas de violencia de gênero e sexual contra as mulheres e raparigas em Moçambique." #Mozambique

Consulta com o governo prioridades do Spotlight Initiativa para Mozambique. "As politicas tem que ser conhecidas, as leis tem que ser conhecidas, os direitos tem que ser conhecidos" so assim será possivel eliminar a violencia de gênero e sexual contra mulheres e raparigas.

WATCH: @HelenClarkNZ shares her thoughts on the cultural shifts that are shaping women’s empowerment across the world. #MeToo #BreakingGlassCeilings

It’s not enough to address #inequality by focusing on those “left behind” at the bottom. We have to fix concentration of #wealth #income and decision-making #power at the top and to break the link between exclusion and decision-making power. Walking the #LeaveNoOneBehind Talk

Very good meeting with Minister Cidalia Chauque to present the UN-EU #SpotlightENDViolence in Mozambique. Estamo@ junt@s! #UNMozambique @EU in Mozambique
