Under economic strain, most lower-income countries have cut their education spending. The global education funding gap could soon rise to $200 billion a year.

At the G7 Summit next month, leaders can stop the setback for girls by providing a substantial financial stimulus to education. Read more from me in @FinancialTimes  .

In Kabul, terrorists committed a horrendous attack on school children, most of them girls. The escalation of terrorism is alarming for peace and democracy in Afghanistan. World leaders must unite to safeguard school-children. My heart is with the #Kabul  school victims’ families.

A Palestinian child should be sitting in a classroom, not in rubble. World leaders must act immediately to protect the human rights of Palestinians.

Palestinian children deserve to live in peace, to feel safe in their homes, to be educated and to pursue their dreams. I'm proud to stand with them and support them. Please join me in donating to: @savechildrenuk , @KinderUSA  and @DCIPalestine .

I know the power that a young girl carries in her heart when she has a vision and a mission – and I hope that every girl who sees this cover will know that she can change the world. Thank you @BritishVogue , @Edward_Enninful  & @thedalstonyears 

Loved talking with @tim_cook , who I am lucky to call my friend, for @BritishVogue . We discussed our first meeting, pandemic habits, our favorite TV show, the importance of online privacy, @Apple’s commitment to the environment, @MalalaFund  & much more.

Girls' education faces a funding crisis — and we need more than vague promises from our leaders. At tomorrow's @g7  summit, we are asking them to fund @GPforEducation , so 46 million girls can enrol in school.

Happy Father’s Day to my amazing father @ZiauddinY  🌼🧡
