27/10/2025

Global Media and Information Literacy Week is underway.

We all know that not everything we see online is true – and what we share can have consequences in the real world, especially in times of crisis.

Before sharing content, pause to verify facts by asking basic questions and doing additional research.

Every woman and girl has the right to feel safe.

They must also be able to exercise their full human rights without fear of violence or persecution.

Governments must invest in preventing gender-based violence, enforce laws, and end impunity.

🧼Why is clean hands SO important?
Washing with soap and water after using the toilet, changing a nappy, or preparing food helps stop the spread of harmful germs, especially for young children.

✋This Global Handwashing Day (15 October), we're reminding everyone that clean hands are still one of the best ways to protect your family from germs, illness, and infection.

🧼 Washing with soap and water after using the toilet, changing a nappy, or before preparing food helps stop the spread of harmful germs - especially for young children.

🌎 Handwashing is simple, affordable, and powerful.

Let's keep doing it!

Girls aren’t waiting for a better world; they are building it.

This International Day of the Girl, we celebrate the power of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting to equip girls and young women with the confidence, skills, and opportunities to lead change in their communities and the world around them.

Across our global Movement of more than 11 million members, girls and young women are taking action by leading projects, influencing decisions, and driving progress on the issues that matter most to them.

At WAGGGS, we know that leadership is a lifelong and life-wide journey. From their first experiences in Guiding to the work they lead today, girls and young women continue to grow as changemakers.

We invite you to respond to the prompt
“The girl I am, the change I lead,” reflecting on this year’s UN theme, “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis.”

💡 🩸 Innovations have the potential to improve menstrual health & hygiene (MHH) for women and girls in humanitarian and crisis settings.
From introducing new menstrual products to the design of period-friendly sanitation facilities, such innovations can fill service gaps, offer more or better product choices, and respond to a specific geography or context.
But innovation doesn’t stop with technology; it may also include new or more effective approaches to MHH.

During this year’s WASH Session on MHH, experts and speakers from Oxfam and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC will share some of their latest innovations in MHM within humanitarian settings.
We would also love to hear from you about the innovations in the field that have impressed you and where you believe further innovation is needed!
