Πάνε πλέον 5 χρόνια από τότε που αποφάσισα να απορρίψω μια δουλειά στις ΗΠΑ για να επιτρέψω στην Ελλάδα, έπειτα από 8ετία στο εξωτερικό. Τότε κυριαρχούσε η νοσταλγία & ο ενθουσιασμός για τις ευκαιρίες που δημιουργούνταν δειλά-δειλά στην 🇬🇷. Σήμερα κυριαρχεί η πίκρα & ο κυνισμός.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has taken away our right to abortion and overturned Roe v. Wade, opening the floodgates for states across the country to ban abortion.

The court has failed us all — but this is far from over. ⤵

The awkward moment when literally the first time you walk down the street in Geneva carrying a (mostly folded) 🏳️‍🌈 flag. for 200 meters, at 11pm on #IDAHOBIT2022 and get shouted "faggot" by a random driver. You just couldn't make it up. #Homophobia

Fantastic to hear @mbachelet call for youth rights to be upheld!

“Speeches are nice, but the reality is different. Young people are underrepresented & youth rights are not truly enjoyed by all”

Let’s fight together #ForYouthRights

[UN Special Rapporteur on poverty and human rights @srpoverty]

The way countries will spend EU recovery funds is based on technocratic assessments without voices of people in poverty - social targets must be integrated.

The EU must end mismatch between economy and social dimensions.

It’s now or never.

We must resist the very human desire for revenge and insist on a system of justice that respects everyone’s rights and essential dignity.

Read about my thoughts on how we can achieve that ⬇️ https://t.co/YbDQlXXv9z

[European Youth Forum @Youth_Forum]

Young people are being depicted as careless or simply unbothered by the pandemic. Older people are being labeled as useless & in need of protection.

@AGE_PlatformEU & @Youth_Forum say it's time to stop playing the #COVID19 generation blame game!

[UN Youth Office @UNYouthAffairs]

The recent increase in violence against young activists & protesters around the 🌍 is deeply concerning.
