The number of girls out of school fell below that of boys in 2007. New data released by the @UNESCOstat and GEM Report, accompanied by a policy paper, show that there are now 119 million girls #OutofSchool versus 126 million boys bit.ly/3rtEmHM

Globally, UNHCR needs US$700million in funding by the end of 2022. This is the bare minimum to avoid further cuts in vital assistance.
This is not a funding request. This is a real, immediate emergency call.

After a weekend of speaking on ✨women and climate✨, I realise that the intersections of women's rights, safety and leadership in the face of climate breakdown may not be obvious.
🧵Here's a quick thread to introduce you to the topic:

One key failing of the ADA is its reliance on individual enforcement, rather than universal design. As a result, it does little to address mass-produced inaccessibility. To see how even victories under the ADA result in defeat, consider the case of Yasmin Reyazuddin. 1/

The last few days have been some of the most violent and consequential in the independent history of Central Asia. On #Kyrgyzstan's day of mourning, a 🧵 on why the international media should pay attention to what is happening, and why "border clash" isn't helpful.

For a long time, we’ve reassured ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed. But it is not.
We have to defend it.
Protect it.
Stand up for it.
That’s why tonight, I am asking the nation to come together and unite behind this single purpose – of saving our democracy.
