I'm in Doha for #SocialSummit2025. At a high-level roundtable on the Copenhagen Declaration, I underscored that social development and population dynamics are inseparable. People are not merely the beneficiaries of sustainable development; they are its driving force.

Delighted to participate in the 4th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policies. Gender equality is a strategic imperative that underpins broader peace, security and development. A feminist approach to policymaking provides a blueprint for resilience and renewal.

Feminist diplomacy sends a message to the world that women’s rights are not negotiable. In France's National Assembly, I joined an important discussion on the centrality of #SRHR to feminist foreign policy.

Imagine a world where women and girls are healthier, and where our societies are more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient. When we invest in women’s health, we invest in global wealth. My remarks at the #WHS2025 plenary session: https://t.co/sAZYZhtr9P

Innovation in women’s health remains underfunded and overlooked. @UNFPA wants to rebalance that equation. Pleased to join #WHS2025 side event on health equity by design. When women’s health advances, the world advances too. #GlobalGoals
