Today, 9% of women serve in the army and gender-sensitive language is the norm in Montenegro. But the military is still traditionally men-dominated. Captain Sanja Pejović, a former professor of English language and literature, broke the brass ceiling and joined the Armed forces of Montenegro. Now, she is the highest-ranking woman officer in the armed forces. Sanja works closely with SEESAC across the region to enable women to thrive in the military.

21 September 2017, New York - In a high-level event organized by UN Women in the context of the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, Melinda Gates, Co-Chair and Trustee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Jack Ma, Executive Chair of the Alibaba Group; and Nirvana Chaudhary, President of the Chaudhary Group and Chair of the Foundation, joined Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women for a strategic conversation on how collective action can scale-up opportunities for women and girls.
Today’s dialogue among a select group of business and foundation leaders focused on the transformative role that companies and foundations can play to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, including Goal 5 on gender equality. It highlighted new initiatives, such as the Unstereotype Alliance convened by UN Women with major advertisers and communications industry leaders to promote a more realistic and aspirational portrayal of women; the “Making Every Woman and Girl Count” initiative to generate, prioritize and use gender data for evidence-based and targeted policies; and the Global Innovation Coalition for Change aiming to make innovation work for women’s empowerment.

Mit einer bewegenden Aktion vor dem Brandenburger Tor machten 100 Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten von Animal Equality auf die tragischen Folgen der heutigen Tiernutzung aufmerksam. Jeder Einzelne hielt ein Tier in den Händen, welches als Folge der Nutztierhaltung gestorben war. Die Aktivisten machten auf diese Weise das Leiden von Tieren in unserer Gesellschaft sichtbar und setzten sich gleichzeitig für mehr Mitgefühl und Gerechtigkeit für alle Tiere ein.
Die 100 toten Tiere, darunter Lämmer, Küken, Ferkel und Hühner, standen stellvertretend für alle getöteten Tiere durch den Menschen, vor allem durch den Konsum tierischer Produkte. Die Tiere sind in Mastanlagen, Tierversuchslaboren oder anderen Orten der industrialisierten Tiernutzung während ihrer Haltung gestorben und entsorgt worden.
Zahlreiche Menschen blieben stehen und verfolgten sichtbar bewegt die Aktion. Unsere Botschaft wurde somit an unzählige Passanten weitergetragen. Verschiedene Pressevertreter waren vor Ort, um über die Aktion zu berichten und die Leiden der Tiere öffentlich zu thematisieren.

Scenes from the self-defense workshop held at UN Women’s Headquarters in New York, taught by Michelle Gay, founder of the self-defense workshop Safe and Sound Seminar, and Gene Dunn of Brooklyn Brazilian Jujitsu.
UN Women in partnership with Sayfty and the United Nations Inter-Agency Network on Youth Development’s Working Group on Youth and Gender Equality and other key partnering organizations will organize 16 self-defense workshops in 16 countries for young women (aged 16-30) to empower them with basic self-defense skills to keep them safer from gender based violence. The event will also present an opportunity to evaluate the lack of safe solutions to address the problem of violence against girls and young women.
The workshops will be a combination of stretching and conditioning exercises and various forms of martial arts. Girls and young women will be given demonstrations of basic maneuvers by trained instructors and taught tips and tricks that could be used in everyday situations such as public harassment, chain snatching, groping in public places etc. followed by a practice session for general safety and to build confidence so they can avoid getting into any unsafe situations.
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a global campaign spanning from 25 November through 10 December, is taking place this year against the backdrop of an unprecedented global outcry. Millions have rallied behind the hashtag #MeToo and other campaigns, exposing the sheer magnitude of sexual harassment and other forms of violence that women everywhere suffer, every day. Breaking the silence is the first step to transforming the culture of gender-based violence.
At the heart of this year’s theme, “Leave No One Behind – End Violence against Women”, for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25 November) and UNiTE Campaign’s observance of the 16 Days of Activism to End Violence against Women (25 November – 10 December), is the imperative to support those who are particularly vulnerable. The UNiTE Campaign is calling on everyone to join the movement to end violence against women, using the colour orange to make your action visible.

I want to try and express a sentiment that has been preparing inside me for weeks.
For over a year now, I have lived a very isolated life. There are good and bad sides to it. One aspect of the way I chose to live is that I virtually ignored all media. Newspapers, television, it all went by me. I...

Animal Equality, in honor of International Animal Rights Day, has today released a new investigation that reveals that wet markets in China continue to sell and kill dogs and cats for meat, despite media reports and statements from the country’s government proclaiming otherwise. According to research, more than 10 million dogs and 4 million cats are killed for consumption each year in the country.
This is not the first time Animal Equality investigated the cruel dog and cat meat industry in China but with new images collected in May 2020, the nonprofit animal protection organization has again proven that this trade is ongoing and brutal to its animal victims.
In exclusive footage collected with the help of local activists in the cities of Liuzhou-Nanhuan, Liuzhou Quianjin, and Guilin-Ximen, the investigation shows:
- Caged dogs and cats piled on top of each other in Southern China’s wet markets
- Dogs killed and skinned on the spot to be sold to consumers
- Frightened cats crying out and being violently removed from cages with metal pliers
- Animals beaten and killed by workers wielding metal bars
- Dogs and cats witnessing the slaughter and skinning of other animals
- Dog and cat meat prepared and displayed by the vendors without adhering to sanitation standards
