"No woman or girl should have to fight this hard just to survive.
We need more aid to enter into #Gaza systematically and safely, and we need the killings to stop."

The war on #Gaza has left 12,000 women and girls newly disabled.
Returning from Gaza, our humanitarian chief @SofiaCalltorp shared what women told her: hunger, repeated displacement, unbearable loss — and their determination to rebuild their communities.

Women in #Gaza stand tall as their homes have been reduced to dust.
@UN_Women reports from the ground on what women & girls need to rebuild their lives.
The ceasefire must hold. Aid must reach all women & girls without obstruction. Peace must prevail.

As we cling to hope that the ceasefire in #Gaza holds, women and girls still face urgent needs.
@UN_Women is on the ground alongside the @UN to ensure that women are central to recovery.

Women & girls in #Sudan are facing sexual violence, food insecurity, collapsing healthcare & a siege in El Fasher.
I join my @IASCch colleagues in calling for humanitarian access, perpetrators to be held accountable, & all civilians protected. Humanitarian law must be upheld.

🔴 Summary executions 🔴 Attacks on civilians 🔴 House-to-house raids 🔴 Civilians prevented from reaching safety #Sudan's El Fasher is on the brink. The disastrous humanitarian situation requires urgent international action. @iascch statement: bit.ly/4hv8VWw

Grateful for the opportunity to brief Geneva press corps on the situation for women and girls in Gaza today
United Nations Geneva@UNGeneva
Over the last 2 years in #Gaza, 2 women and girls were killed every hour. Today, 1M+ require food aid & 250,000 need urgent nutritional support. 1 in 7 Gazan families is led by a woman. There will be no recovery without women and girls, says @SofiaCalltorp of @UN_Women.

⚠️ Women’s bodies are being turned into battlegrounds in #Sudan.
Today, as we mark two years since this devastating war began, their voices are loud and clear.
They are demanding justice and that the world does not forget Sudan—or its women and girls.

Supporting women in #Sudan must be at the heart of the humanitarian response.
Women-led organizations do just that, but receive less than 2% of humanitarian aid.
@UN_Women is in Sudan, staying and delivering with women-led organizations for women and girls.

The brutal attacks in North Darfur in which more than 100 civilians were killed, including children and aid workers, must be condemned. IHL must be respected, and the protection of civilians and humanitarian personnel ensured. Accountability for these actions is essential.

Women are at the heart of Syria’s recovery. Only through their inclusion can there be sustained peace and stability.
In my meeting with the Women Advisory Board of @UNEnvoySyria, I applauded their leadership & courage. I assured @UN_Women’s support as they participate in shaping the future of #Syria.

Pleased to have our dear @unwomenchief in town for important discussions with partners on how to strengthen #GenderinHumanitarianAction
Sima Bahous@unwomenchief
My message to our partners in Geneva: We will empower women and girls to be agents of transformation and solution makers in every crisis, everywhere. Together, we can uphold and strengthen our commitment to a humanitarian system that champions women’s empowerment and gender equality at every level. #ForAllWomenAndGirls. #Beijing30

Idag tar Sverige över ordförandeskapet för FN:s kvinnoorgan #UNWomen. Vi kommer särskilt lyfta vikten av att stärka flickors och kvinnors ekonomiska möjligheter. Så ökar vi sannolikheten att fler flickor få gå i skolan och att kvinnor får bättre möjligheter till utbildning och arbete. För oss är det handling och inte ord som räknas - så drivs en jämställd utrikespolitik som gör skillnad på riktigt.
