The fifth International Day of Education is celebrated under the theme “to invest in people, prioritize education”. UNESCO is dedicating this year's International Day to girls and women in Afghanistan who have been deprived of their right to education.
Speaking to journalists in New York today (24 Jan), Stefania Giannini, Assistant Director General for Education of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said, “Currently, all Afghan girls and women above the age of 12 are denied access to secondary schools and, more recently, to universities following the decisions of the de facto authorities.”
Giannini added, “A basic human right is at risk and adjust the listening to the voices of these girls and women.”
She repeated the message coming from Afghan young women “please work on the ground, work for people there, especially women and girls and weak people there.”
According to Giannini, “With higher education, we have to think and move more creatively and also involve the international community.”
She also said about an alliance of universities as a collective afford to host Afghan girls and women in the coming months.
Asked about other solutions, Giannini said, “I mentioned the radio channel as the most effective tool to reach out from Kabul, at least because as far as you know, connectivity is not a common good for all the rural zones.”
She continued, “I think that courses, lessons in classrooms online cannot be a solution for the entire country.”

United Nations Video: Holocaust, Security Council, Haiti & Other topics - Daily Press Briefing
HOLOCAUST
This morning, the Secretary-General paid tribute to Holocaust survivors at the General Assembly ceremony in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. He said that the rise of National Socialism in Germany 90 years ago was made possible by the indifference – if not connivance – of so many millions of people. Today, he warned, we can hear echoes of those same siren songs of hate.
The Secretary-General said that the painful truth is that antisemitism is everywhere. In fact, it is increasing in intensity, with survey after survey showing antisemitism at record highs. And what is true for antisemitism is true for other forms of hate, Mr. Guterres added.
He also said that he is issuing an urgent appeal to everyone with influence across the information ecosystem: to stop the hate. Set up guardrails. And enforce them. Many parts of the Internet are becoming toxic waste dumps for hate and vicious lies, he said.
SECURITY COUNCIL
This morning, El-Ghassim Wane, the head of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) briefed the Security Council. He discussed security in the country, the Mission’s ability to contribute to the improvement of the situation, as well as Mali’s critical year on the road back to constitutional order.
This afternoon, at 3:00 p.m., the Security Council will hold consultations on Afghanistan. Council members will hear from Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, and the Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari on the trip they undertook last week with the head of UN Women, Sima Bahous, to Afghanistan and a number of other countries.
After that, the Council will hold consultations on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine. Council members will receive an update from the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
The UN condemns the new military offensive by the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and reiterates its call on the armed group to cease all hostilities and to withdraw from the occupied areas, in accordance with the decisions made at the mini-summit held in Luanda.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) today noted that, according to initial reports from partners, some 90,000 people have been displaced by the clashes between Congolese forces and the M23 in and around Kitchanga, in North Kivu. Many of those displaced are seeking refuge in nearby Mweso, in schools, churches and with host families.
As more displaced people arrive in Mweso, humanitarian organizations are concerned about the spread of cholera there, following last month’s outbreak.
The clashes have also impeded road access, making it very difficult to deliver humanitarian aid. The UN peacekeeping Mission in the country is continuing to provide physical security and immediate assistance. That includes shelter, water and medical care, to about 500 Congolese civilians who are currently in and outside the UN base in Kitchanga.
The UN also reiterates the Secretary-General's call on all armed groups to lay down their weapons and join the national Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization programme.
HAITI
The UN team in Haiti has strongly condemned the targeted and deliberate attacks by members of armed gangs who have resulted in the deaths of several police officers on duty. The UN offers its condolences to the bereaved families and to the Haitian national police, and also calls on the authorities to do everything possible to identify the perpetrators of these heinous crimes and to prosecute them.

United Nations Video: International Day of Commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust 2023
The United Nations Holocaust memorial ceremony will be held on 27 January 2023 in the United Nations General Assembly Hall, under the theme "Home and Belonging".
---
The ceremony will include remarks by the United Nations Secretary-General, the President of the General Assembly and the Permanent Representatives of Israel and the United States. Professor Debórah Dwork, Holocaust scholar and educator, will deliver the keynote address. Holocaust survivor Mr. Jacques Grishaver, and Dr. Ethel Brooks, Romani scholar will speak. Dr. Karen Frostig will share her experience as the granddaughter of Holocaust victims. Musicians Ms. Shoshanna Shattenkirk, Professor Renee Jolles, Mr. Michael Shaham (grandson of Holocaust survivors) will perform. Cantor Nissim Saal will recite memorial prayers. The United Nations Holocaust Memorial Ceremony marking the 2023 International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust is organized by the United Nations Department of Global Communications. The theme “Home and Belonging” highlights the humanity of the Holocaust victims and survivors, who had their home and sense of belonging ripped from them by the perpetrators of the Holocaust. The violence of exclusion began with disinformation and hate speech that lent support to systemic injustice and discrimination, and marginalization and ended with genocidal killing. The theme reminds us of our responsibility to respond with humanity to the victims of atrocity crimes, to counter hate speech, antisemitism, Holocaust distortion and denial, and prejudice – to do all we can to prevent genocide.

United Nations Video: UN Chief on International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust
Video message by António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General, on International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust (27 January 2023).
Today, we honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
We remember the six million Jewish children, women, and men, as well as the Roma and Sinti, the people with disabilities, and countless others who perished.
We reflect on the millions of individual lives cut short; the millions of futures stolen away.
As we mourn the loss of so many and so much, we also recognize that the Holocaust was not inevitable. No genocide ever is.
It was the culmination of millennia of antisemitic hate.
The Nazis could only move with calculated cruelty from the discrimination of Europe’s Jews to their annihilation because so few stood up, and so many stood by.
It was the deafening silence – both at home and abroad – that emboldened them.
The alarm bells were ringing from the very beginning.
Hate speech and disinformation.
Contempt for human rights and the rule of law.
The glorification of violence and tales of racial supremacy.
Disdain for democracy and diversity.
In remembering the Holocaust, we recognize threats to freedom, dignity, and humanity – including in our own time.
Today – in the face of growing economic discontent and political instability, escalating white supremacist terrorism, and surging hate and religious bigotry – we must be more outspoken than ever.
We must never forget – nor allow others to ever forget, distort or deny the Holocaust.
Today and every day, let us resolve to never again remain silent in the face of evil – and to always defend the dignity and rights of all.
Thank you.

'Zahawi Tax Storm: What Did Sunak Know When He Appointed Him?'
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insists he acted decisively when publicly sacking Nadhim Zahawi after it was found he’d breached the ministerial code several times over nearly two years.
But Labour says there are still "serious questions" to be answered regarding when the PM found out HMRC was investigating Zahawi. They suggest he knew about the fromer Chancellor’s tax affairs when he appointed him to his cabinet.
After Sunak launched n investigation into Zahawi, it took less than a week to find that he’d broken the ministerial code, but Zahawi’s allies have raised concerns about how the investigation was carried out.
This all comes against the backdrop of already-waning public trust in UK politics. One poll, published by Ipsos in November 2022, found that just 12% of people have faith in politicians to tell the truth.
Zahawi’s has lost the trust of many his constituents in Stratford-Upon-Avon, who are relieved that he was removed from his post, some even suggesting he should step aside as their MP.

Global Video: Mummering: Newfoundland's unique holiday tradition comes roaring back
This past weekend in St. John’s Newfoundland, hundreds of people hit the streets for the Atlantic province’s annual Mummers Parade.
As part of this festive tradition, people gather up old clothes that have been lying around the house –tablecloths and oversized shirts are a favourite – and assemble a “mummer’s rig” or costume.
Originally, mummering was a house-visiting tradition. It first appeared in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800’s, though the practice dates back much further than that. Mummers would visit their neighbours in disguise, looking for beer and a bite to eat.
Alyssa Julie has more on the history of mummering - and the dark parts of its past.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99. "It's part of everybody's history."
Global's Alexia Kapralos and Katherine Cheng have some of their stories.
