International humanitarian law prohibits in any war, also against terrorism, all indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks.

Parties are bound to exercise precaution, proportionality and distinction between combatants and civilians:

Congratulations #NargesMohammadi, a courageous defender of Iranian women, on receiving this year’s @NobelPrize. I hope this award further invigorates her campaign and elevates the voices of all Iranian women protesting against a repressive regime.

Great news and an important example of feminist funding for feminist climate activists! #CanFFP

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

How lucky we are! See you in Oslo!!

[Amy Baker @AmyBakerCAN]

For all those who have been asking me ‘What’s next?’ This is! I am honoured, humbled, ready to roll up my sleeves. Never has it been more important to work closely with friends and allies. Proud to be moving from a relationship with one strong partner in 🇫🇷 to another in 🇳🇴

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

Amazing news AKR. Look forward to working with you!! 💙

[Aly-Khan Rajani @alykhanrajani]

Honoured to be appointed Canada's Ambassador to South Sudan. I look forward to working together on the many common priorities of our two countries including peace and security; humanitarian and development programming; and strengthening our trade and people-to-people linkages.

@Julie_Delahanty is a most excellent choice! Good things happen when feminist leaders are positioned to lead, scale and reimagine. Can’t wait to work with you Julie!

[IDRC | CRDI @IDRC_CRDI]

We’re excited to announce that Julie Delahanty has been appointed as our new president! Julie’s leadership will be key as IDRC seeks to deliver on our Strategy 2030 aimed at building a more inclusive, sustainable world. @CanadaDev

Canada stepping up to play a role on the global stage in the fight for universal human rights is an essential leadership moment. @equality_fund @GAC_Corporate

[Mélanie Joly @melaniejoly]

Human rights are the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.

But, they are also under attack.

Today, our government is launching our bid for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council. We will continue our work to defend human rights, at home and abroad.

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

This matters. Renewal and recommitment of resources AND political support for feminist movements from 🇨🇦.

[Equality Fund @equality_fund]

The Women’s Voice and Leadership Program is concrete evidence that when we resource WROs + feminist movements, change happens. 📣 EF celebrates the $195M renewed commitment by the @CanadaDev to invest in gender justice globally.

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

I believe this is a game changer. I’m incredibly proud of the brilliant team @equality_fund that made this happen. When all sources of money are channeled through a feminist lens- philanthropy, grant making + investment capital- we accelerate impact and progress towards equality

[Equality Fund @equality_fund]

It’s time to move investments directly to women, girls, and trans people so they can build their own sustainable and scalable futures. We are thrilled to launch Equality Fund's Toolkit for Gender-Lens Investment. Download it here https://t.co/OL7Bha222p

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

Canada has placed a bet on the feminist approach. Like with any transformative change it takes time, resources, resolve, courage and steadfast vision. The world is watching and Canada’s leadership is needed now more than ever. My thoughts 👇

[Equality Fund @equality_fund]

Since 2017, Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy has served as a beacon of hope and ambitious leadership. A report from the Auditor General affirms its urgent need while calling for improved systems to capture and share its growing impact. https://t.co/BA0jiZC8kS

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

Warm and welcome discussions about how to fund feminist movements at scale. Many levers for change- many feminists building ambitious solutions. Thank you @AmyBakerCAN for bringing us together and @odelphine for your leadership. 🇫🇷 🇨🇦 🌎

[Amy Baker @AmyBakerCAN]

A discussion that would benefit all to hear is one between @odelphine & @EqualityFund’s @JesTomlin. Challenges abound but so do results when we support #feminist initiatives that make #GenderEquality real, such as our 🇨🇦🇫🇷 participation in the Alliance for Feminist Movements.

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

Appreciating @SusannahGoshko for these heartfelt words- we are excited to build together!

[Equality Fund @equality_fund]

Our new partnership with @FCDOGovUK will boost funding across every one of our grantmaking streams. The result? More resources for women, girls, and trans activists working tirelessly to secure a just future for all.

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

We move together- @andrewmitchmp + @FCDOGovUK signal an important shift in how power + resources must move to feminist movements driving change.

Together, alongside @GAC_Corporate + @HarjitSajjan, we will ambitiously tackle the challenge of our time.

But today, we celebrate.

[Equality Fund @equality_fund]

Feminist movements front and center. Our new partnership with @FCDOGovUK will boost funding across every one of our grantmaking streams. The result? More resources for women, girls, and trans activists working tirelessly to secure a just future for all.

[Jess Tomlin (she/her) @JesTomlin]

This is a move to celebrate- an investment in the power of feminist movements by @FCDOGovUK. Alongside @GAC_Corporate and philanthropic partners, we will determinedly and boldly move resources to the bravest of the brave. To do this at scale, we must do it together.
