Stop the evisceration of the DC budget! @SenMcConnell @SenatorBaldwin @PattyMurray @SenatorDurbin Please vote against the CR tomorrow morning. It will devastate our nation’s capital and will definitely not make America great again.

The Sexual Violence Research Initiative @TheSVRI is an amazing meeting of a thousand feminist researchers and activists from around the world.

This new commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen.

@MarionGreene describes achievements of collaborative local government in Hennepin County, whose population is larger than that of Alaska or Rhode Island.

@MarionGreene @PPLTwinCities An uplifting testimony to collaborative local government! Many good things are happening in Hennepin County.

An analysis of national surveys by Harvey et al. reveals that pre-marital conception often leads to marriages or unions since parents view this as the solution to pre-marital pregnancies. See in @JAdolesHealth here: https://t.co/rPfvhSqaYS #GenderEquality #EndChildMarriage #CEFMU

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

Negative impact of early marriage &/or pregnancy worsens during conflict & recent COVID-19 related lockdowns exacerbate these challenges. More targeted programs, mobile technology, & service delivery can provide the support married &/or pregnant girls require. #ChildMarriage

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

Baird et al. researched the link between marital & refugee status, & COVID-19 in Bangladesh & Jordan, finding: refugee girls at greater risk of #childmarriage than host community girls & married girls faring worse than unmarried girls during lockdowns. See https://t.co/nAZMrBWbP5

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

As Jha et al. explain, attention & investment should focus more on already married girls & their evolving capacities & needs to support them having better futures. E.g. parents taking their daughters-in-law to school. Read in @JAdolesHealth: https://t.co/Zad2coT3i2 #ChildMarriage

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

While #CEFMU prevention efforts must continue, we can't ignore girls already affected by its consequences & need to address their unique challenges, e.g. providing opportunities for social connection, education, & contraceptive info & services. #EndChildMarriage #GenderEquality

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

Muthengi et al. explored relationships w/out prior knowledge or consent of family compared to marital relationships where family witnessed girls’ & boys’ union. Cohabiting girls were more likely to separate & become pregnant before marriage. Read here: https://t.co/KnDXryHB0w

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

So let me get this straight: wearing a mask to save lives during a pandemic should be a personal choice, but what a pregnant person does with their own body should be mandated by the government?

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

#ChildMarriage research is not distributed evenly across high-prevalence regions, & more research is needed in the languages spoken in high-prevalence settings. Read Siddiqi & Greene's article here:

#EndChildMarriage

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

#ChildMarriage occurs virtually everywhere in the world, but the distribution of the research does not reflect the prevalence of the practice. New research on #CEFMU in @JAdolesHealth describes the landscape of child marriage research & points to gaps. #EndChildMarriage

[Dr. Margaret Greene @Greene_Works]

Siddiqi & Greene reviewed 20 years of #ChildMarriage research across four languages & find that across the Global South & Global North, more emphasis is needed on responding to the practice & not just documenting it. #EndChildMarriage #GenderEquality #PowerToGirls
