“Taliban pleaded for intl aid after the earthquake…But money & supplies alone cannot overcome barriers Taliban themselves impose. Aid w/o access perpetuates inequality. Afghanistan needs not only resources, but conditions guaranteeing women receive them.” https://t.co/NW2PzmoG0W

😠If ministers believe rehashed pledges and PR spin will silence the roar for real reform of our failing water sector, they’re sorely mistaken.

💰There’s no commitment here to overhaul the profit driven system responsible for the sewage crisis—even slashing pollution by 50% still means 200,000 raw sewage spills a year by 2030.

📢We demand clean water—half measures that perpetuate a status quo where pollution pays are simply unacceptable. Steve Reed and the Prime Minister must stop hiding behind hollow press releases and deliver true change—now.

Whether it’s restaurant inspections, police reports or parliamentary expenses, British officials have a serious addiction to secrecy. Writing in today’s Sunday Times about the Afghan data breach. #secrecy #statesecrecy #foi #righttoknow #democracy

“March 8 is International Women’s Day, but Afghan women are not even allowed to celebrate it,” said a woman protester in Kabul. “We have been erased from society, yet the world remains silent. We ask all women globally to stand with us on this day.” https://t.co/qw5fKP8F8R

On this International Women's Day I am thinking about the millions of Afghan women and girls who continue to have their basic human rights denied.
Today it is 1267 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school.

This photo from 1930 shows Afghan women working as medical professionals at Kandahar Women’s Hospital. Nearly a century later, in today’s Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, women are banned from studying medicine, working, and attending university.

No one seemed to object when Churchill turned up at the White House in his war-fighting gear.
