A powerful reflection on progress and where we still need to get to. Let's keep moving all my wonderful colleagues in @HIDDEN_CA21120 , we are lucky to have a truly wonderful group of women involved #IWD2025
In 2025, we mark 30 years since the Beijing Declaration—30 years of championing the rights, equality, and dignity of women and girls. Turning our hopes to action #ForAllWomenAndGirls to create the future we want—and humanity deserves. #IWD2025

"We are the darkest page of history" Afghan women sing in protest. This #IWD is another day of erasure for us Afghan women. Under 126 Taliban edicts, our faces are banned, our voices silenced, our dignity stolen. This is gender apartheid. Do not look away.

Read the new policy brief published in Current Issues in #Migration #Research by Brigitte Suter and @kmozetic. Migration redistributes the responsibility for care between family members, and can increase the care load for children and young people: ojs.mau.se/index.php/cimr/ar…

#HolocaustMemorialDay During WW2, Rivesaltes near Perpignan became the main holding centre for Jews in the French 'free zone'. Cork woman Mary Elmes saved at least 70 children from deportation to the camps, smuggling some out in her car boot. dib.ie/biography/elmes-mary-… #DIBLives

Today is International Day of Education — let’s not forget Afghanistan—the ONLY country in the world where girls education is banned. 1224 days since teenage girls were barred from school and 764 days since women were shut out of universities by Taliban. This injustice must end.

Women and girls in Afghanistan have no rights, no voice, no education, no healthcare, no safety or liberty. But Jos Butler says cricket players "haven't really worried too much about it" He has two daughters, but no shame bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/arti…

Beckham got paid millions to promote tourism for a nation where women still need permission from men to study or marry, travel and pursue higher education or make decisions about their own children… but still picks up an award for "extraordinary leadership and humanitarianism".
