  1. The pandemic has further exacerbated entrenched discrimination against women and girls. None of this happened by accident - it is the result of generations of exclusion. Women’s equal leadership and representation is the game changer we need.

  2. I welcome the Security Council resolution recognizing vaccine equity as crucial to international peace & security. In a pandemic, we are only safe once everyone is safe.

  3. I'm grateful to the City of New York to have received my second dose of the vaccine at the Morris High School in the Bronx today. Ensuring equitable access to vaccines and treatments for everyone, everywhere, is the only way we will overcome this crisis.

  4. I am appalled by the abduction of more than 300 girls during an attack on a secondary school in Nigeria today. Attacks on schools are a heinous violation of human rights. The girls must be released to their families immediately & unconditionally.

  5. We are nowhere near the level of ambition needed to meet the goals. Nationally Determined Contributions of major emitters must set more ambitious targets for 2030. Long-term commitments must be matched by immediate actions that people & planet desperately need.

  6. has highlighted a yawning gap in access to digital tools, including vast gender disparities. To profit fully from the technological revolution, we must urgently close the digital divide keeping millions from reaching their potential.

  7. Vaccine equity is the biggest moral test before the global community. We must ensure that everybody, everywhere, can be vaccinated as soon as possible. We cannot afford to split our planet and societies into vaccine haves and have-nots.

  8. Vaccine equity affirms human rights. Vaccine nationalism denies it. As I told the Human Rights Council this week, vaccines must be a global public good, accessible and affordable for all.

  9. People are demanding action on racism, persecution, gender equality & the protection of indigenous & LGBTQ people. The Call to Action on Human Rights places human dignity for all at the core of our response to global challenges.

  10. This is fantastic news for our global fight against . The COVAX Facility is our best way to ensure equitable global access to safe & effective vaccines. We must ensure it is fully funded and supported.

  11. We cannot create a better world for all if human rights are only available to the privileged. We need concerted, global and meaningful determination to deliver human rights for everyone, everywhere, at all times.

  12. When we allow the denigration of any of us, we set a precedent for the demonization of all of us. We must step up the fight against racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, violence against minority Christian communities, homophobia, xenophobia, misogyny & all forms of hate.

    Undo
  13. The climate emergency not only damages the environment; it weakens our political, economic & social systems. We need to protect countries & communities and address the specific risks the climate crisis poses to international peace & security.

  14. I call on the Myanmar military to stop the repression immediately. Release the prisoners. End the violence. Respect human rights, and the will of the people expressed in recent elections. Coups have no place in our modern world.

  15. Human rights are the building blocks of a world of dignity & opportunity for all. The Human Rights Call to Action is the guide to all of our work - from the to , gender equality & the protection of fundamental freedoms.

  16. threatens everyone. Human rights uplift everyone. Respecting human rights in this time of crisis is essential to build more effective & equitable solutions for the emergency of today & the recovery for tomorrow.

  17. I strongly condemn the attack against a joint field mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which resulted in the killing of the Italian Ambassador to the country, his bodyguard & a WFP colleague. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.

    Undo
  18. The rot of racism eats away at institutions, social structures & everyday life — often invisibly & insidiously. I welcome the new awakening in the global fight for racial justice, a surge of resistance against being reduced or ignored — often led by women & young people.

  19. Le monde entier souffre du malaise des violations des droits humains. La réponse à la pandémie est l’occasion de changer cela. Le temps est venu de repenser et de reconstruire un monde respectant les droits humains et la dignité de tous.
