Fantastic concert yesterday at the Waldbühne, Berlin: the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, featuring young musicians from different Middle East countries, conducted by Daniel Barenboim. The Divan project, co-founded by Barenboim & writer Edward Saif sends a clear message of cooperation & coexistence.

Today we honor the victims and survivors of the #SrebrenicaGenocide. Safeguarding their stories is our shared responsibility. Srebrenica did not happen overnight. It is our duty to stand up and never look away when #HumanRights are violated and the dignity of others is questioned. #Srebrenica30

Honoured to represent 🇩🇪 at #CSW69 event „Power4Girls“. Investing in gender equality + adolescent girls isn’t just a question of justice: it’s about unlocking potential - for girls, for communities, + for entire economies. It’s not only the right thing to do- it’s the smart thing to do. @unicef.org

Good start of #CSW69 meeting: despite last minute attempts to significantly water down the political declaration it was adopted today. In times of stagnation + pushbacks, we need to mobilise support for gender equality: equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you. #GenderEquality4All

#MSC2025 @munsecconf.bsky.social: focus on opening w 🇺🇸Vice President speaking of shared values. For us #human dignity is the foundation of our democracy. Categorically putting #freespeech over #dignity can lead to impunity for hate speech, xenophobic & misogynist disinformation undermining society.

No one - no woman, no girl, no person of any gender - should have to live in fear of #GBV online or offline. Let's #OrangeTheWorld to end gender-based violence and create a future where safety and dignity are not privileges, but rights for all.
