«Même si beaucoup d’entre vous vivent dans des contextes où les chrétiens sont minoritaires, n’ayez pas peur de témoigner de votre amitié avec Jésus», a invité Léon XIV recevant le mouvement catholique international «Jesus Youth» qui fête ses 40 ans.

Child marriage can take away choices that should belong to girls.
It can force them out of school, increase the risk of early pregnancy and limit their opportunities.
Every girl has the right to learn, make decisions and have her voice heard in her community.
#EndChildMarriage. Invest in girls’ rights. Now. #GirlGoals
ALT Each year, more than 12 million girls are married before the age of 18. That’s one girl every three seconds.
ALT Ken, 16, holds her baby at home in Ratanakiri, Cambodia, where nearly half of all girls are married before age 18. UNICEF and partners are helping young mothers like her get the care and protection they need. For many girls, child marriage means growing up too soon, facing early pregnancy and leaving school before they can choose what comes next.
Tell #Congress to stop illegal flow of US weapons/ammo to Latin America & Caribbean; cosponsor Americas Regional Monitoring of Arms Sales (ARMAS) Act (HR 6736 / S 3508).

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.
