Chair @SarahChampionMP has responded to the Government’s announcement of cuts to the UK’s foreign aid budget. Find out more👇
committees.parliament.uk/com…
ALT Sarah Champion MP, Chair of the International Development Committee, said: “I urge the Prime Minister to rethink today’s announcement. Cutting the aid budget to fund defence spending is a false economy that will only make the world less safe. Conflict is often an outcome of desperation, climate and insecurity; our finances should be spent on preventing this, not the deadly consequences."

Reinstatement of “Mexico City Policy” will have far reaching consequences and violates human rights. Restricting access to safe abortion and contraception costs lives. We must continue to defend #SRHR for everyone, everywhere. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

💸 Anti-Gender Funding on the Rise 💸
Funding for anti-gender campaigns has quadrupled over the last decade, reaching a total of $707.2 million from 54 NGOs, foundations, religious organizations, and political parties. With the majority of funding coming from the EU (66.9%), Russia (26.6%), and the USA (11.5%), this growing financial support is a significant driver of anti-gender movements globally.
Recognizing and addressing the sources of this funding is critical to defending gender equality and human rights.

🔍 Diagnosing the Problem: A New Phenomenon in Our Societies 🔍
The intersection of social conservatism, far-right politics, and anti-gender actors has given rise to new challenges. This isn’t just an ‘opposition’ or ‘backlash’—it’s a new wave of actors with their own objectives and strategies, even adopting tools from human rights movements. It’s critical to recognize this shift and adapt our responses accordingly.

Critical report by @jrockstrom and others. “25 of 35 planetary vital signs are at record extremes” according to the 2024 #StateoftheClimate report. Time for bold leadership and urgent mitigation and adaptation measures.
