I was delighted today to host the 2026 ECOSOC Youth Forum and meet young people coming from around the world. I stressed that:
“Across communities & sectors, young people are not only advancing solutions but actively shaping a more inclusive, sustainable, & resilient future for all.” #ECOSOCYouth
Today, young people will gather at the #ECOSOCYouth Forum to share their perspectives, passion, and expertise with the world.

On International Women’s Day 2026 - #IWD2026, women’s rights mean nothing if we cannot defend them.
Women and girls have just 64% of the legal rights of men.
When justice fails, women pay the price.
Without justice, rights are just words.
With justice, rights become power.

Everyone deserves basic rights - the right to life, freedom, and justice.
On #HumanRightsDay, we’re reminded that human rights are universal and non-negotiable.
As we work toward the #2030Agenda for Sustainable Development, we all have a role in protecting these rights for every person.
I am deeply saddened by the devastating storms sweeping across South and Southeast Asia. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.
Global solidarity and early, coordinated disaster response are more crucial than ever. #DisasterResponse #CycloneDitwah #CycloneSenyar

“Labour migration is more than a demographic trend. It is a human story of aspiration, courage & resilience.

“The Sevilla Commitment is about more than numbers; it is about trust.
Let us make sure that Sevilla’s words and Doha’s principles live not only in documents but in classrooms, clinics and communities. Let us turn commitment into consequence – and financing into human dignity.” #DeliveringBetter
