Racism, intolerance & discrimination tear at the fabric of societies.
Ending discrimination benefits everyone.

I was pleased to address the Geneva International Model United Nations (@officialgimun) @UNGeneva, where students explored preventing conflicts linked to climate-driven migration. Model UN fosters the dialogue, critical thinking & cooperation essential to multilateral diplomacy.

The Secretariat of the Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions has met at the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation in Kazakhstan on 7 October.
The Rt Revd Dr Jo Wells, Deputy Secretary General of the Anglican Communion and Bishop for Episcopal Ministry, has represented the Anglican Communion in inter faith discussions about climate change, AI and the rights of children with incurable diseases.
‘The issues we are addressing cannot be resolved by the specialists or the technicians… nor can they be resolved by any single faith group, government or nation. They require a level of cooperation that transcends our differences and overrides our politics, because they each address us all. Only together can we make the difference that matters.’

We cannot tolerate attempts to redefine racism in ways that disregard its history, and the power dynamics that continue to produce racial inequality. Even where formal equality seemingly exists, it cannot erase inequalities accumulated over generations and that persist today. States have an obligation to act on that reality. A world free from racism is a promise that will deliver positively for everyone, irrespective of race. - @Dabokunda, @UNHumanRights Deputy High Commissioner lnkd.in/p/eZQYUC_f

🌍 At #UNGA, WFP Goodwill Ambassador Antoni Porowski joined us to learn how anticipatory action is helping communities stay ahead of floods, droughts and other climate shocks.
Thank you for helping highlight the importance of acting early to protect lives and livelihoods. 💙

During times of reform and changes our commitment to women and girls only grows stronger.

We echo @UN @antonioguterres, who stressed the risks posed by Artificial Intelligence to children, including those affected by armed conflict, in his address at the opening of #UNGA81
"Children must never become the test subjects for unregulated systems."

Today at #UNGA, I joined calls for the urgent prohibition of autonomous weapons used or designed to target human beings. The most effective way to prevent the proliferation of a technology is to ensure it is not developed in the first place.

Welcome to #DelilahWPierce Collection on social! instagram.com/reel/DaKwkooRG…
HIV/AIDS in the Workplace Orientation Programme is a valuable course for all staff. I was first like, "Why did they approve this course for me?" Then like, "The stigma is still so real for much of the globe!" Forget about a Human Rights Based Approach to ANYTHING! @UN
