Progress in women’s rights won over decades is vanishing before our eyes. On the current track, gender equality is 300 years away. Promoting women’s full contributions to society is not an act of charity or a favour to women. It is a must and it benefits everyone.

👏 Congratulations Helen Clark - well deserved recognition of your years of leadership and service not least to advancing the health and rights of women and girls around the world!

Our world is becoming unhinged & we seem incapable of coming together to respond. But the United Nations was created precisely for moments like this – moments of maximum danger & minimum agreement. What we need is determination to heal divisions & forge peace.

Unlocking women’s power starts with investing in the products they need to take control of their bodies and futures. Today, we're making a long-term commitment of up to $100M to UNFPA Supplies, helping ensure women don’t lose access to contraception. gates.ly/46igBVj
