#GlobalGoals cannot be achieved without gender equality."

التنوع اللغوي مصدر قوة للبشرية.
في #اليوم_الدولي_للغة_الأم، لنتذكر أن المساواة بين الجنسين معناها جميل أيّاً كانت اللغة التي نتحدّث بها.
بهذه المناسبة فلنجدد التزامنا بسماع وتقدير جميع من يدعون إلى تحقيق هذا الهدف باستخدام مفرداتهم الخاصة ولغاتهم المميزة في جميع أنحاء العالم.
