At a time of growing global instability and increased threats to women’s rights, partnerships with organisations like @UN_Women matter more than ever. When women and girls are safe, empowered, and able to thrive, societies become stronger, more resilient, and more prosperous.

Girls who play sport stay in school longer, build confidence, and develop skills to lead. Yet by age 14, girls drop out at twice the rate of boys. This #WorldFootballDay we're committed to equal play #ForAllWomenAndGirls — on and off the field ⚽ 🔗 unwo.men/NgL450Z3op3
