Super proud on #WorldHumanitarianDay to share my publication 'Negotiating Humanitarian Aid at Europe's Borders: Lessons from Lesvos' on efforts to help migrants risking their lives to escape war & climate crises. Huge thanks to the @ESPMINetwork reviewers espminetwork.com/wp-content/…

“Women still only represent a fraction of the global tech workforce and systemic barriers persist. Addressing this requires policy change, corporate and cultural shifts.
Tech shapes our world, and with the acceleration of AI it’s now even more crucial that women shape tech.”
Two years on from Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, harrowing footage from '20 Days in Mariupol' showing reality of a city and its people under siege is a must-watch. Proud that @ukinserbia helped bring this to a Serbian audience 🇺🇦🇬🇧 #SlavaUkraini youtu.be/9H_Fg_5x4ME?si=dU3a…
A highlight of my year…speaking alongside Equality Commissioner Janković at #Fempower and sharing my journey as a woman in the male-dominated world of diplomacy:
“Glass ceilings are being broken, but gender equality thrives when men actively join the movement.” @UKinSerbia
Excellent essay from @mashagessen in @zeitonline shows exactly why they deserved to win this year’s Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought. A must read.
I got a prize and gave a talk. It didn't go as planned, and this wasn't the talk I'd prepared. But I'm glad I got to say this. zeit.de/kultur/2023-12/masha…
Stunned by #CarlosAmorales ‘Black Cloud’ artwork, made up of 25,000 paper moths. Beautiful, creative use of former dictator Ceaușescu’s ego project of a Parliament - the largest in the world - now home to Bucharest’s Museum of Contemporary Art #exhibition #Romania
This is what true leadership looks like...so proud of you Ruth! 💜💙💛🌍🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✌
Incredible to march with Diplomats for Equality today at #Pride
I am proud to serve my country.
I am proud to be a lesbian.
I am proud to fight for human rights for everyone.
The long road to equality continues 🌈

Russian authorities are deliberately blocking the return of deported Ukrainian children to their families, violating international humanitarian law.
The Kremlin continues to lie about its actions.
Those responsible must be brought to justice.

🇬🇧 Proud to support 🇷🇸 efforts to design inclusive cities and improve safety for women in public spaces. Together with Urban Institute Belgrade &
@UN_Women we're exploring how gender-sensitive urban design creates a society where everyone feels safe ♀️♂️🌃 @ukinserbia
🇬🇧 sa zadovoljstvom podržava napore 🇷🇸 da projektuje inkluzivne gradove i poveća bezbednost na javnim mestima. Zajedno sa @UN_Women & Gradskim zavodom za urbanizam razgovarali smo kako rodno senzitivno projektovanje stvara društvo u kom se svi osećaju cenjeno i bezbedno.♀⚥

5yrs ago I received, out of blue, an email from my favorite writer. “Dear Dragana, here is my telephone number. We have a lot to talk about. Ring me. Yours, Dubravka Ugrešić.” Today, the news came that Dubravka died. We lost a great one! 💔

In Europe and North America it's easy to forget that the whole world doesn’t think alike about the war in #Ukraine. Many African and Asian countries feel alienated. Insightful review by @Devex’s @willrworley👇devex.com/news/5-ways-the-uk…
