On today's International Day of Rural Women, we honour women farmers and the work they do everyday - from conserving seeds, protecting biodiversity, managing water, to restoring degraded land.

They feed communities, sustain livelihoods, and safeguard the natural resources on which we all depend.

Let’s promote their work as food providers and protectors of the environment. Let’s demand their participation in decision-making within their communities. Let’s promote rural areas where women can have the same opportunities as men.

20 years after the United Nations Study on Violence against Children, the message remains unchanged: no violence against children is justifiable — all violence against children is preventable.

Ending violence against children, and protect their rights, safety and well-being takes all of us: Member States, parliaments and national human rights institutions, regional organizations, the United Nations system, civil society, faith-based, cultural and sporting organizations, the private sector, and children themselves.

Children, young people and survivors are already acting: over 700 child-led efforts worldwide are being highlighted in the initiative.

No single person, organization or country can fulfil the promise of human rights alone.

The Global Alliance for Human Rights is a multi-stakeholder, cross-regional mobilization that connects people across sectors and generations. Its purpose is to mobilize leadership, align resources, and rebuild trust in human rights as a practical force that improves lives, sustains peace and drives sustainable development.

After the United States announced sanctions on the International Criminal Court - ICC as an institution, the United Nations Secretary-General reiterated his “unwavering support for the independence of the Court and its officials.”

Speaking on his behalf, spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said António Guterres is “deeply alarmed” by the expected impact on the Court’s ability to carry out its mandate, calling the decision “a serious blow to our collective pursuit of international criminal justice, of which the ICC is a key pillar.”

The UN remains committed to cooperating with the ICC under the relationship agreement approved by the General Assembly in 2004.

Is your household ready for disaster?

On today's International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, UNDRR reminds us that resilience starts at home.

Homes are where people live, sleep & care for one another, and seek shelter and security. For many, they are central to wellbeing and stability. However, the ways homes are planned, built, financed and maintained determine whether risk is reduced or created.
