HUGE thanks to Marco and Fabiana @AirCanada@FiumicinoRome! They were patient and listened to our story as we’ve been trying to get back home to @yvrairport today, looking for our missing baggage!
Amidst the rollback on women’s rights around the world, we do not retreat, we double down. Because we know that investing in women’s rights is the most effective path to a more peaceful, equal, and prosperous world. Thank you @equality_fund and all those I met last evening.
A bold, whole-of-society approach is needed to disrupt entrenched and rising global gender inequality. Learn how #GenerationEquality is driving transformative results for Gender Equality and hear about promising practices for accelerating the #GlobalGoals. https://t.co/TWaosOkCGT
At @GlblCtzn, @CanadianPM@LisaLaFlamme_ & I talked about the importance and power of women’s rights organizations in Sudan, Afghanistan, Canada, and everywhere else.

Many of the panelists echoed the approach of the @BlackFemFund "It's time to fund Black feminists like we want them to win." It’s time to fund WROs like we want them to win! #FIAP#WVLrenewal#FeministFunding#WVL
Can’t wait to support more women’s rights organizations and feminist movements on work & issues that matter most to them! #WVL#WVLrenewal#FIAP#FeministFunding
Canada is proud to announce the renewal of the Women’s Voice and Leadership program. The 5-year commitment aims to strengthen the rights of women and girls by supporting local women’s rights organizations, including those in crisis- and conflict-affected regions. ️⬇️
"WROs need accompaniment to go with funding, which is how we walk the journey together and put the different experiences of WROS together. Ex. With EF as an international organization, we are continually looking for the connections and how we advance them globally."- @ceyakuze
"Ways to continue this work: We need governments to continue to do advocacy We need to make the resources as easily accessible as possible and least administratively burdensome."- @ceyakuze#FIAP#FeministFunding#WVL#WVLrenewal
Great to see more governments recognize that moving flexible $ to grassroots feminist orgs is not only possible, but a direct line to impact.
Congrats to advocates and allies in 🇨🇦 (inside + outside govt) who have made the case with data, stories, persistence. #FIAP#WVLrenewal
