Worldwide, girls are breaking stereotypes & overcoming barriers—from lack of education, to forced marriage & gender-based violence.
Yet they continue to pursue their dreams.
On Sunday's #DayOfTheGirl & every day, join @UN_Women in standing with girls as they shape their futures.

“It seems a little insane”
Anne Carson was sweeping the kitchen floor at her home in Reykjavík, Iceland, when the phone rang and she learnt that she had been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature.
In this conversation with the Nobel Prize just moments after the announcement, Carson shares her advice for aspiring writers and reveals that she has already started planning how to give away the prize money.

Here’s to the girls who dared to dream and the women who are courageously becoming!
Every woman has a story, every voice deserves to be heard and every dream deserves room to grow.
Thank you Coach @victoria_nyanzi and @AfricanSisters_ for the invitation. Together for a greater impact in Africa.

In Wajir, Kenya, the Born Perfect Caravans are reaching far beyond the villages they visit. 🇰🇪
Led locally by Katra Haji and @WOWN_Kenya , the campaign has brought more than 6,000 peopletogether at Caravan events to discuss ending FGM.
More than 74,000 people have tuned in to radio talk shows, while the wider media campaign has recorded an estimated reach of 1.8 million.
From village gatherings to radio and television, WOWN is making sure the message reaches families across Wajir.

I believe the stories of women and girls matter because online narratives often convince people that there are only a few acceptable paths in life. In reality, everyone has a unique journey and life story. #ThePowerOfStories
@socialmediasass Karla, many thanks for reposting the invitation to women and girls to share their stories. We believe in #ThePowerOfStories!🙏🏽💞

One thing Day 1 of the 4th Women’s Land Rights Conference has reminded me is that having a right and being able to exercise it are two very different things.
Land rights are shaped not only by laws but also by social expectations, cultural beliefs, and power dynamics that determine whose claims are considered legitimate. This means that legal recognition alone cannot guarantee women’s ability to enjoy their rights.
For me, this raises an important question about how we can challenge deeply rooted norms while building the social acceptance necessary for lasting change. Sometimes, the greatest barrier to justice is not what the law says, but what society is willing to allow.

This morning, we were honoured to deliver our oral statement as observers during the 48th Ordinary Session of the #ACERWC.
We brought an intersectional feminist lens to the conversation, challenging the structural inequalities and power systems that continue to deny children, especially girls in all their diversities, their rights, dignity, and agency.
We continue to push for accountability beyond commitments and for a continent where every child can exercise their rights and shape their own future.
