A new study from @giwps reminds us that the struggle for gender equality is as real for women in the US as for women around the world. Only 33% of adults say it’s a “good time” to be a woman in America. Discover the best & worst states for women:

As the COVID-19 pandemic deepens stress amidst lockdown across the globe, violence against women and girls is increasing exponentially. We must do something about this. It requires a whole-of-society response that sees violence services as essential. @UN_Women @regner_asa

Peace is not just the absence of war. Many women under lockdown for #COVID19 face violence where they should be safest: in their own homes. Today I appeal for peace in homes around the world. I urge all governments to put women’s safety first as they respond to the pandemic.
