UN Women

Who gets silenced? Who gets protected? Who gets pushed out of public life? This is a matter of dignity, equality and diversity.

What does peace actually look like? 🔵 Women at the table. 🔵 Women taking up roles in leadership. 🔵 Women whose safety is non-negotiable. Because you can’t build trust, inclusion, or reconciliation without them. This #LivingTogetherInPeace day, we’re reminded that #peace is only as strong as the women who shape it. 🕊️ #ForAllWomenAndGirls

The digital world is being shaped as we speak. Women cannot be left out of the rooms deciding how it works, or who it protects. And yet, women remain underrepresented in cybersecurity and in the spaces where digital decisions are made. At precisely the moment when cyber threats are escalating. This is not only a pipeline problem. It is a systems problem. Through the Women Empowerment in Cybersecurity Award, UN Women is joining partners including the Global Cybersecurity Forum and the International Telecommunication Union to recognize organizations working to change that — from building pathways for girls, to advancing women's leadership and entrepreneurship in cyber. Because when women shape cybersecurity, digital systems are stronger, safer and better equipped to protect people and uphold rights. That's the digital future we need. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/ey6FUt7v

Reported ≠ resolved. For women journalists, online violence doesn’t end when it’s reported — fewer than 40% of countries have legal protections for digital violence. In the age of #AI, this violence is scaling fast – with little to no accountability. New EU-funded research from UN Women shows how, and what’s at stake.
