Pleased to deliver @ILO's statement to #FFD4 in Sevilla. Financing for development must serve people. That starts with ensuring the foundations of inclusive economies: decent work, social protection, rights and resilient institutions that give meaning to the social contract

At UNGA, I joined leaders from across the Americas to drive forward our collective efforts to respond to irregular migration and forced displacement. Together, we can address the unprecedented level of migration in our hemisphere and advance the goals of the LA Declaration.

Every woman and girl should have the opportunity to reach her full potential, without discrimination. Gender equality is not only a moral imperative but also economically sounded. We must #InvestInWomen. There is no #SocialJustice without gender equality. #IWD24.
