#GenderEquality cannot be an afterthought if we hope to use #AIforGood. #AI is already shaping what billions of people see and believe — and too often, it reproduces the same gender bias women and girls face offline. 🔗 See what must change: unwo.men/69oy50ZkOCy

Women first stepped onto the court at Wimbledon 142 years ago 🎾 Since 2007, they've played for equal prize money. This Saturday, a new women’s champion will extend a legacy shaped by icons before her. Because #EqualPlay means levelling the playing field—on and off the court.

A new @UN_Women report paints a bleak picture: At least 1 million women and girls have lost access to critical support as funding cuts dismantle women’s organizations working in humanitarian crises. 🔗 See our press release: unwo.men/HloR50ZmavW #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Safe drinking water is a human right. But for 1 in 4 women and girls, that right remains out of reach. 🔗 Find out why water and sanitation are women’s rights issues: unwo.men/VWCB50ZlOlO #HLPF

AI learns from our world. But what happens when its builders don’t reflect half of it? 88% of leading AI researchers are men. From online abuse to deepfakes, #AI is harming women and girls. #AIForGood means building tech that works for everyone. 🔗 unwo.men/gzmy50ZlPeh

Deepfake videos surged 550% between 2019 and 2023. Nearly all are non-consensual. Nearly all target women. This is gender-based violence, powered by technology. #AI "nudifying" apps are a reminder that we must use #AIForGood — not harm. 🎥 via @GlobalSpotlight #NoExcuse

Good discussion on AI governance & human rights at the Global #AIDialogue in #Geneva. AI accountability begins with 4 questions: Who builds it? Who benefits? Who bears the risks & who has a voice in shaping it? These are the building blocks for AI that works #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

We condemn in the strongest terms the recent wave of attacks across #Ukraine. @UN_Women reiterates the @UN Secretary-General's appeal for urgent de-escalation, leading to a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget.

Today we remember Frida Kahlo, a brave and inspiring artist born #OnThisDay in 1907. Long after her death, she remains one of the most prolific #WomenInArt. Her legacy is a reminder #ForAllWomenAndGirls to be courageous and never give up on their passions. #FridaKahlo

Since 1950, only 5 women have entered an #F1 Grand Prix — a reminder that the road to the grid is shaped long before race day. Access to training. Funding. Sponsorship. Teams. Visibility. Opportunity. That’s where the race towards #GenderEquality begins. #EqualPlay

Women and girls currently account for most confirmed #Ebola cases. Not because of biology—but because caregiving, frontline health work, and inequality put them at greater risk. See our explainer for more: unwo.men/6WnP50Zj8jo #ForAllWomenAndGirls
