Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🇮🇪🍀 We extend our gratitude to the people & @GovIE for their support to refugees & host communities in 🇵🇰. Your generosity brings hope & protection to those who need it most. Thank you for being a valued partner of UNHCR and for standing #WithRefugees.

Refugee women are not waiting for change — they are leading it. On this #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating each one of them. Happy #IWD2026! #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Support refugee women’s health. Support their education. Support their leadership. Support their right to justice. Because when refugee women thrive, communities thrive. #IWD2026 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Women have just 64% of the legal rights men hold worldwide. For refugee women, the gap is even wider. This #InternationalWomensDay, we demand RIGHTS. JUSTICE. ACTION. For ALL women and girls, including those who have been forced to flee. #IWD2026 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

حقوق۔ انصاف۔ عمل۔ نہ کسی دن کا انتظار۔ نہ چن کر چند لوگوں کے لیے۔ نہ صرف کچھ افراد کے لیے۔ تمام خواتین اور لڑکیوں کے لیے — بشمول وہ جو ہجرت پر مجبور ہیں۔ پناہ گزین خواتین کے بغیر مساوات، دراصل مساوات نہیں ہے۔ #IWD2026 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

UNHCR is deeply concerned by the escalation of violence in the Middle East and its impact on civilians and further displacement in the region. Our full statement on the ongoing situation.

Women supporting women. That’s how change becomes unstoppable. Refugee women aren’t waiting to be included. They’re leading movements, building communities and fighting for justice. It’s time we follow their lead. #WomensHistoryMonth2026

I condemn today’s military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States & Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & security.   All Member States must respect their obligations under international law, including the Charter of the @UN. The Charter clearly prohibits “the threat of the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”   I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities & de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians & regional stability. I strongly encourage all parties to return immediately to the negotiating table.   I reiterate that there is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, in full accordance with international law, including the UN Charter. The Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace and security.

Everything must be done to prevent a further escalation in the Middle East. I call on all sides to strictly uphold their obligations under international law, including the @UN Charter, protect civilians & ensure nuclear safety. Let’s act responsibly & together to pull the region & our world back from the brink.
