Thank you Ambassador @AmbTakahashi_JP for the warm welcome to #Japan. I extend @UNWomen’s deepest appreciation for your support and financial contribution to our core mandate and the work around the world, especially focused on #WomenPeaceSecurity and #DisasterRiskReduction. Indeed real lasting security is human security My appreciation to @MofaJapan_en for the invitation for me to give a KeyNote Address at the 2nd Next Generation Forum at the United Nations University on Saturday. I have witnessed the direct impact of Japan assistance with the impactful work in #Zimbabwe, through also Japan’s Grassroots Initiative, the support ten years ago to @RozariaConnects through @EoJZimbabwe has been life changing and impactful. Similar stories of impact in our WPS work is evident, including through the @WPSFocalPoints Network.

Today, @AmbJJagne joined @UN #SRSG @_VanessaFrazier, #UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell, @unicefchief, and Watchlist Director, Bethany Ellis, in briefing the #UN Security Council on 30 years of the Children and Armed Conflict mandate. With 24,174 children affected by grave violations in 2025 alone, the urgency could not be clearer. Drawing on her recent mission to Maiduguri, Borno State, she called for stronger #AU-#UN cooperation, sustained investment in recovery and reintegration, accountability, as well as quick-win initiatives. Thirty years on, success must be measured not by commitments made, but by children protected. #ChildrenAndArmedConflict #AUPSC #Agenda2063 #ChildrenAffectedbyArmedConflict

Transformative change cannot happen while feminist organizations remain underfunded and women’s voices are excluded from decision-making spaces. Those closest to the challenges must help shape the solutions and help build a more equal and violence-free future. #ACTtoEndViolence
