Breastfeeding is not a one-woman job.
From partners & extended family to employers & lawmakers, we all have a role in supporting breastfeeding mothers at home, work and beyond.

In #Gaza, over 76% of schools need reconstructing or require major rehabilitation to be functional again, according to @GlobalEdCluster.
Despite this, @UNRWA teams continue to reach children with play & learning activities.
Education is a fundamental human right.

Eight months of conflict in #Gaza has exhausted families and sapped their hopes.
People are now forced to live in areas with insufficient clean water, fuel and limited food assistance.

No one should be treated unfairly because of who they are or whom they love.
Each of us can call out discrimination wherever we may see it.

Education is not just a right, but a powerful shield against child marriage.
The longer a girl stays in school, the less likely she is to become a child bride.

#IndigenousPeoples, women & youth play an important role in reviving damaged ecosystems and countering land degradation, desertification and drought.
Indigenous communities are the unsung heroes of conservation. It's time to listen to their wisdom.
