#children are forced to miss out in their #education in search of #water walking miles to the nearest water source, carrying heavy water cans back to their families. It's heartbreaking that the struggle for water is a daily battle. #climatechange Northern #Kenya #drought #ASAL

In my speech at the UN, I noted that female leadership was critical to securing climate agreements – and will be just as essential to fulfilling it 🇺🇳 Women like Laurence Tubiana, Rachel Kyte, Hindou Ibrahim, Tessa Khan, & Mary Robinson are my heroes 🤍

Today, I received the Best Minister Award from @WorldGovSummit. I'm proud, inspired, and committed to ensuring all children like Mariatu Isha Koroma can access quality education. I dedicate it to @PresidentBio for his vision, and I pledge to serve all children in #SierraLeone.

VICTORY! ⚡️ By a vote of 29 to 8, with 16 abstentions, the Islamic Republic of Iran was just expelled from the U.N. Women's Rights Commission. First time in United Nations history that any member state was removed from this body. Bravo to all who helped to make this happen! 🙏

The execution of 23-year-old #MohsenShekari today is unacceptable and cruel. Iran’s brutal and corrupt regime must be held accountable by the international community #beourvoice

Mohsen Shekari was convicted of "enmity against God" after what an activist called a "show trial".
