On #InternationalWomensDay and every day, I stand proudly in solidarity with women globally, celebrating their strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions to our world. Let’s continue to challenge stereotypes, break barriers, and strive for a more equitable world!
On #WorldDayofSocialJustice , let us embrace empathy and collective action. We can celebrate the progress made in the fight for social justice and commit to the journey ahead. We must amplify marginalized voices, advocate for systemic change, and strive for a more just world.
Peace is humanity’s greatest responsibility. As United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres rightly says, “that responsibility belongs to us all – individually and collectively.” I join him in urging the world to meet that obligation for today and future generations.

The United Nations Secretary-General's SDG Advocates never cease to inspire.
We agreed to advocate and act to keep the promise of the #GlobalGoals .
Peace means empowering our youths. Young people are the torchbearers for change and are crucial in the protection of human rights. We need to invest in them now if we are going to make peace last, everywhere, for everyone. #InternationalDayOfPeace
