Women and girls must be at the heart of humanitarian response. I've directed $10M from UN's Emergency Fund CERF through @UN_Women and @UNFPA across eight crises, giving local women-led organisations a central role to lead in crises.

At #UNSC today, I thanked #Colombia FM @ryvillavicencio for their leadership on #WPS. Colombia’s experience confirms the evidence: peace processes are more effective & durable when women participate meaningfully. This must become the norm in all peace & mediation efforts.

As #FIFAWorldCup kicks off, it is a reminder that sport is critical to gender equality. It empowers women & girls - fosters leadership, inclusion, & dialogue across cultures. It unites people and breaks down barriers. Let’s ensure every woman and girl can play, lead, and thrive.
