We can never celebrate our mothers enough. Across newsrooms, media organisations, and creative spaces, many mothers continue to balance leadership, careers, and nurturing families. Today we celebrate their strength, care, and impact. #MothersInMedia #AWiM

Day One insights from #CSW70. Justice for women and girls remains unfinished work. From calls to action by Annalena Baerbock to warnings from Malala Yousafzai and Reem Alsalem, the message is clear: accountability matters. Today, take action for women: Sign the Kigali Declaration to end Gender Violence in and through the media in Africa by 2034. africanwomeninmedia.com/declaration/

At the opening of the Commission on the Status of Women, Annalena Baerbock (@UN_PGA), President of the UN General Assembly, urged women to: “Win like a woman. Lead like a woman. Change like a woman.” Turning that vision into action means a lot of things. In the comments, let us know what it means to you.

"True justice does not defend the humanity of children in one place and ignore it in another." At today's @UN observance of International Women's Day, @Malala reminded the world that justice cannot be applied selectively #ForAllWomenAndGirls. 💡 unwo.men/gfOB50YryqB #IWD2026

Only 26.8% of parliamentary seats in Sub-Saharan Africa are held by women (IPU, 2024). Closing that gap requires leaders who speak up and open doors for others. As we close our Women’s series this March, we highlight Dr. Thokozani Khupe, former Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, public health champion, and advocate for women’s representation. This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate women like Dr. Thokozani Khupe who embody sharing knowledge, leadership, and advocacy, creating opportunities for communities to gain progress. Join SourceHer as an Expert, just like Dr. Khupe, and help strengthen women’s stories in media: sourceher.com #SourceHerGiveToGain #MediaDev #WomenInLeadership
