In Afghanistan, women & girls are once again being denied their rights to education, employment & equal justice.

Those responsible for the bombing of a village market in northern Tigray, killing and injuring hundreds of civilians, must be held accountable. We call on the Ethiopian authorities to ensure the victims receive immediate medical access, and for an independent investigation.

I am calling on the @UN Security Council to authorize cross-border operations from Turkey to NW #Syria. There is no viable alternative to reach millions of people with lifesaving aid.
Let me be clear: Failure to extend the resolution could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.
