The values enshrined in the @UN Charter 81 years ago remain as relevant today as ever: peace, human dignity, equality, and justice. This #UNDay, we honour those principles by renewing our commitment to survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. A survivor-centred approach places survivors' voices, choices, and needs at the heart of prevention, protection, response, and accountability efforts. When survivors lead the way, we move closer to a future where dignity is restored, rights are upheld, and peace becomes more inclusive and sustainable.

Syrians were ready for change. Was the world ready to keep up? At the Syrian Forum’s high-level event, “Building Effective and Accountable State Institutions Through Syria’s Political Transition,” held on the sidelines of #UNGA81 in New York, discussions highlighted Syria’s rapid transition, the need for greater women's participation, and the importance of international support that responds to Syria’s priorities. The message? Syrians have the drive and expertise. Now they need the partnerships and support to turn that potential into lasting progress. #Syrian #SyriaNeedsYou #SyrianForumUSA #advocacy #NewYork

This #WorldFoodDay, we recognize that food insecurity and conflict are deeply interconnected. In situations of armed conflict, the breakdown of livelihoods, displacement, and hunger can heighten vulnerability to exploitation, trafficking, and conflict-related sexual violence. As we honor our roots and cultivate innovation for a better future, let us also strengthen resilience, protect the most vulnerable, and ensure that no one is left behind. Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow.
