The UN Charter says:

"We the peoples," not "We the men."

And yet, fewer than 12% of dignitaries who addressed a high-level debate were women.

⭐️6 Heads of Stare
⭐️4 Heads of government,
⭐️1 Vice president
⭐️9 Ministers
⭐️1 Vice minister

If you can see her, you can be her!

Great to see regulators setting out what they understand about their professions so clearly for public & policymakers.

A big commitment for us with our 'Social Work in England 2023' report. ➡️ https://t.co/qzye9Z1rLX

Long may clear and engaging policy reports continue! 👏

Never a prouder professional moment than taking an online quiz to find out what kind of expert you are and finding you've been categorised as Gandalf the White. 🧙

[United Nations @UN]

We all have a role to play in stopping the spread of harmful misinformation online, which can result in people being left uninformed, unprotected & vulnerable.

Before you share content online, pause to verify facts by asking basic questions.

It's my first day back @SocialWorkEng after finishing my secondment as the Head of Policy and Advocacy @MAGsaveslives. What an amazing year filled with outstanding people and expert work. Thanks to all for
making my secondment such a learning experience. 🙏

[Amy Charlotte Soar @AmySoar]

Great to speak with @PaulBlomfieldMP today about @MAGsaveslives work to tackle illicit arms flows around the 🌎 and in Somaliland. Fab to be speaking with my very own MP about issues so important to Sheffield's Yemeni and Somali communities. More here➡️ https://t.co/hGFwLODDmx

A year ago I wouldn't have been able to tell you about the connection between #mineaction and organic food production. But hearing from young, sustainable innovators in 🇧🇦 goes to show what can happen when people can cultivate land safely. 🌽🌎

[MAG (Mines Advisory Group) @MAGsaveslives]

Mirnesa, from Bosnia and Herzegovina, has lived with the threat of mines for as long as she can remember. She stands by land that MAG has cleared, with support from @germanydiplo & @Sida.

Her passion for sustainability means she can now grow organic vegetables on safe land.

[Amy Charlotte Soar @AmySoar]

Thank you to @morton_wendy for following up on the Westminster Briefing on mine action with this piece in @TheHouseMag for the #UkraineRecoveryConference. This when advocacy turns into comms ⤵️ https://t.co/5EXkmp5NPo

Huge thanks to those who came to speak with Rosamund and the @MAGsaveslives team yesterday in Parliament to hear about her experiences visiting our programme in 🇰🇭.

We couldn't be luckier to have such a fantastic supporter and advocate of our work. 👏
#mineaction #landmines

[MAG (Mines Advisory Group) @MAGsaveslives]

MAG Ambassador Rosamund Pike & MAG CEO @darrencormack met with Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly yesterday to discuss the UK's ongoing commitment to mine action.

The UK is a long-term donor to #mineaction and supports our work around the world. @FCDOGovUK

[Amy Charlotte Soar @AmySoar]

Someone more poetic than I would be able to elegantly point out that nature is sending a message to the people in power.

[Maritza Chan @MaritzaChanV]

If you have any doubts, we are more than just connected.

We are a single community.

A busy week as part of an @MAGsaveslives trip to raise profile of #landmines and #smallarms in EU foreign policy. 🇪🇺

Great to see BXL in the sunshine, pride flags outside @eu_eeas, and vegan leek pie at To Meli. ⤵️

Proudest of all to be part of an all female delegation. 🚺💪

[Amy Charlotte Soar @AmySoar]

Incredible things can happen when you work for an NGO. ⤵️

Our CEO spoke on a panel last year, Tom was there and heard about the work @MAGsaveslives does to save people from the threat of #landmines.

Now Tom's riding to Ukraine to raise money to support our work. I'm in awe. 👏

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The climate crisis demands honesty.

We know what to do, when to do it, and why.

But for too long we have looked the other way.

We must act on science, facts and truth.

We must #ActNow.
