Last night we marked #16DaysOfActivism with our 🇪🇺 & 🇨🇦 colleagues by hosting a screening of the film ‘Backlash: misogyny in a digital age’, which tells the shocking stories of women whose lives were changed by #cyberviolence.

Cyberviolence is an increasing problem that often targets women & girls, undermining women’s rights and putting women, children and LGBT+ people at particular risk all around the world.

Last week, 🇬🇧 announced tough new action to tackle online violence against women & girls, to be backed by more than £27m of UK-government funding.

Together, we must fight to #EndGBV.

Aujourd'hui marque 1000 jours depuis l'invasion illégale de l'Ukraine par Putin.

L'agression de la Russie contre l'Ukraine est une attaque non provoquée, préméditée et barbare contre un État démocratique souverain. Écoutez un message de l'Ambassadeur de Sa Majesté en Suisse et au Liechtenstein, @JamesWSquire.

@samuelnicholls Arguably, if you're going to be posted in France, your local boulanger is going to be one of the most important people in your daily life. So I'd say strong relationship-building skills on display there...
