When the Taliban overran Kabul and the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, the gains Afghans enjoyed for two decades devolved, write @SwaneeHunt and @MaryAkrami. https://t.co/PkaBiAwdfs

"Russian moms can play a part in helping to end Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine." an extreme honor for me to publish an article in @USATODAY with Ambassador @SwaneeHunt #UkraineRussiaWar https://t.co/deRqq98gcH

"In Russia, maternal grief has been a particularly powerful, iconic force, tracing back to World War II...But...veneration of the mothers started to backfire during the occupation of Afghanistan....Grozny" my OPED in @USATODAY with Ambassador @SwaneeHunt https://t.co/MkUp4CoQw4

"By sending all-male delegations to sit across from all-male Talibs & sidelining women among the visitors, the global community implies tolerance of girls disappearing from schoolrooms and women missing from offices."
Spot on @SwaneeHunt & @FroghWazhma!

Including women in conversations about Afghanistan’s future is complicated, physically risky, and culturally fraught — and it’s essential, write @SwaneeHunt and @FroghWazhma. https://t.co/FiYSUmy3ga

Listening to stories of women from #Liberia, women from #Afghanistan cried. When asked they said, "We thought we had it bad under the #Taliban but they had it much worse", remembers @SwaneeHunt @InclusvSecurity #women #peacebuilding @FarhatAkram

🎧 Today, @SwaneeHunt joins us to discuss the seismic shift that takes place when women lead during crises. The results don't lie - countries led by women have been safer during Covid-19.

Dear #GenerationEquality,

Here's some #IWD2020 info to prepare: https://t.co/bXNFji45ma

Your sisters in arms

Learning from 6 #Colombian #womenleaders in my #DC conference room – describing details of their roles in civil society & government, expressing their views of #DerechosHumanos: #Security is not just the right to be alive, but the right to life w dignity. @USIP @MeridianIntl

[Swanee Hunt @SwaneeHunt]

2 steps forward, 10 steps back. A peace process is an exercise in learning. Six women in my office depicted polarization & emotion they saw in #Colombian negotiations. First 5 yrs are the most difficult; most peace agreements fail. @GenderatState @InclusvSecurity @OAS_official

[Swanee Hunt @SwaneeHunt]

It’s not a wave, it’s a #SeismicShift! Mexico felt a rumble that’s reshaping the global number of women in politics & policy-making. Female leaders are key to decision making & I look forward to watching #GenderParity advance in #Mexico &beyond @UN_Women @InclusvSecurity @CFR_WFP

[Swanee Hunt @SwaneeHunt]

Staggering statistic from the Council on Foreign Relations: Since women are more than 1/2 the global population, gov’ts should reflect that proportion. In a tiny number of countries, there’s been a #SeismicShift of women in politics, but there’s more & more & then more to do

[Swanee Hunt @SwaneeHunt]

Marking 20 years of #SecurityCouncil Resolution
#UNSCR1325. What “involving women in all peacebuilding” has meant in #Rwanda, where after catastrophic genocide #women have played a huge role helping their country not only heal but also soar @UN_Women

[Swanee Hunt @SwaneeHunt]

Thx @celestinelakin @pgmuhizi @jmurekatete @nconsolee @lilianepari for sharing stories @ElliottSchoolGW just now. #RwandanWomen have been critical for #peace & healing after #genocide. We’ll all buy your books: https://t.co/VTKMl9mMzT https://t.co/H1ZTTXWSQ7
