In its speed, scale and inhumane ferocity, the war in Gaza is the deadliest of conflicts... Six months on, we are at the brink: of mass starvation; of regional conflagration; of a total loss of faith in global standards and norms. It’s time to step back from that brink – to silence the guns – to ease the horrible suffering – and to stop a potential famine before it is too late. — ANTÓNIO GUTERRES

"We must support women’s organisations on the front line", declared the Secretary-General António Guterres in his message for International Women's Day. "And we must invest in programmes to end violence against women, and to drive women’s inclusion and leadership in economies, digital technologies, peacebuilding and climate action."
