We often use the phrase 'Leave no one behind'. But that makes exclusion sound like an accident, like leaving your handbag on the bus.
There is nothing accidental about girls being denied education, women being denied bodily autonomy, or children being denied the chance to thrive.

At yesterday's #WHS2026 Signature Event 'From Crisis to Resilience — Innovating for Health', I reflected on what the AIDS response teaches us about inequality, access and resilience. My message:
Exclusion is not an accident. It is the result of choices made through laws, policies and institutions - which we can change. #UnitedToEndAIDS

Today is #WorldChildrensDay.
On World Children’s Day and every day, we honour the promise of the Convention: every child, everywhere, has rights. Let’s stand up for a world where those rights are not just words — but reality.

Denying SRHR in a crisis is a denial of humanity. @UNFPA is working across East and Southern Africa to ensure no woman is left behind.

A girl growing up today risks having fewer rights than her mother, and in some cases, even her grandmother. The time for change is now⏰

🌍 34 African countries spend more on debt than healthcare.
As finance ministers travel to the US this week for #WBGMeetings, courage and cooperation on debt relief & fair taxation are essential.
The cost of inaction? Lives lost.

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are imagining what happens when ALL voices in science are included.
Today, only 1/3 of scientists are women, and too many girls are still discouraged from pursuing STEM education.
🚀 When more girls participate in science, the world benefits from more innovation, more discoveries, and a stronger future for all. Let’s encourage more girls to pursue a science education.
