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.

„Our peace will never be complete without their peace“
A. Jahjaga

Putting aside the suffering & trauma of survivors of sexual violence during the Kosovo war has allowed impunity & stigmatization to persist.The impressive minimalist museum „moment“ calls on all to acknowledge their pain & courage.

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.

#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.

Great start into this years’s @munsecconf.bsky.social: gathering of women politicians & allies to share insights & strategies on how to address global security issues as well as specific challenges of women in public sphere. 🙏 to #WomenPoliticalLeaders, #WIIS_de, #IDUW, @microsoft.com & #GIZ

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.
