On #EducationDay, new findings revealed that #outofschoolchildren have risen to 26 million across Pakistan. In reality, the undocumented numbers may be much higher. Here are some of our key recommendations @ncrc_pakistan @unicef_pakistan @eduministrypk #OOSC (1/5)

On #WMHD, we are thrilled to share this beautiful msg from our project for out-of-school girls with @PK_Schools . As part of this, we included an explicit counselling component to help girls build resilience, face everyday challenges, & build the motivation to return to learning.

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

It is feminist activism that placed violence against women on community and policy agendas. Review of VAW policies in 70 countries over four decades finds the existence of a strong, autonomous women’s movement is a critical factor in the prevention of VAW (Htun & Weldon 2012).

"When you debate a person about something that affects them more than it affects you, remember that it will take a much greater emotional toll on them than on. For you it may feel like an academic exercise. For them, it feels like revealing their pain only to have you dismiss..."

How you can help victims of war in Ukraine (wrong answers only).

1. Do send heavy blankets, used clothes & teddy bears. Canned goods or dried beans are best, both because of their high weight-to-value & their widespread availability in the destination country.

Sexist double standards shape people’s views of parents: Involved dad vs Working mom. Present dad vs Inattentive mom. Such a good dad vs Run-of-the-mill mom. Fun dad vs Lazy mom.

@CapitaPlc .@CapitaPlc well done firstly on not deleting the original tweet as others did! ;) Secondly, great that you expand on what the bot actually does - i.e. pay gap vs equal pay and the representation factor. @PayGapApp
