UN Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that women’s rights are under threat globally. Speaking at a UN event on International Women’s Day, he said new challenges are deepening long-standing discrimination. He pointed out that digital tools are silencing women, reinforcing bias, and encouraging harassment. Guterres also warned that online violence is escalating real-world violence, and extremism and misogyny are becoming mainstream. Urging global action, he emphasized that gender equality is about power, representation, and building a fairer world for all. (Source: Reuters)
