The needs are reaching historic levels—but funding is ever-shrinking. Although 84% of women’s organizations say demand has increased, nearly 9 in 10 can no longer meet current needs, and 2 in 5 could shut down within a year. More: unwo.men/1aLU50ZtzSA #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Only once or twice a month. For half of Afghan women, that's how often they leave their homes. Excluding women and girls in #Afghanistan from public life must NEVER be normalized. 🔗 Five years since the Taliban takeover, learn their realities: unwo.men/EhBx50ZzoXm

At the heart of feminism is a simple principle: equality. #OnThisDay, we celebrate Jennifer Lawrence — an actor and producer, who has spoken openly about equal pay, women’s rights and why equality should never be something to fear. Happy birthday, Jennifer! 💙

#DidYouKnow: Girls in #Afghanistan are still banned from attending high school. Keeping girls out of classrooms doesn't just affect them—it holds back their communities and the country’s development. Education should be #ForAllWomenAndGirls. 🔗 unwo.men/9w1U50ZzuqV

When gangs take over communities, women-led organizations help survivors. In #Haiti, women like Roselene Pierre are on call 24/7. But funding is running out. 1 in 3 women's organizations could close within a year. Read her story: unwo.men/R6Wn50Zxasq #ForAllWomenAndGirls
