Hatred and lies – online and offline – can sow the seeds of violence, exclusion, and dehumanization. Silence helps them grow. Together, let's call out hate speech and counter its spread through solidarity and partnerships. Let’s choose facts and kindness. #NoToHate

Haiti is more than its trials. It’s a nation of creative youth & engaged diaspora, with a culture that shines far beyond its borders. I'm convinced with adequate international support the people of Haiti will be able to free themselves from gang violence, reclaim their security

#Afghanistan has one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates, while too many women and girls continue to face barriers to healthcare. Frontline health workers are supporting mothers and newborns, but they need more support, and these services must be expanded.
