Americans expressed sharply divided views over the public health response to COVID-19, things like masking, remote learning, business closures and vaccines. Five years on from the start of the pandemic, @JudyWoodruff recently sat down with two people on opposing sides of that divide trying to figure out how to move forward as part of her series, America at a Crossroads.

The Afghan de facto authority's decision to ban women Afghan staff from working for the UN, including UNICEF, is unconscionable.   It's another affront to women’s fundamental rights and further undermines life-saving work for children across the country. unicef.org/press-releases/ta…

Compared to boys, twice as many girls aged 15 to 19 are not in employment, education or training. @UNICEF is leveling the playing field, so every girl has the chance to fulfill her potential. Find out how. #CSW67 #IWD2023 uni.cf/3JksG3w
