Sharing in solidarity with PoC colleagues @ActionAidUK today - our sector has been resistant to real change for too long - deep listening, followed by action, esp from those in leadership, is desperately needed #SolidarityWithPOCatAAUK

[#CharitySoWhite @CharitySoWhite]

Today we are publishing an open letter written by a collective of POC working in the international development sector in solidarity with POC working in @ActionAidUK.

A huge thank you to our fantastic panel, and everyone who attended today's launch. AAUK's @KatyChadwick1's closing remarks emphasise the need for girl-led movements to be better resourced, with money going directly to those who need it.

THREAD: I keep being asked when we can go "back to normal" or "like it was before". My personal thoughts:

We've added a new disease to our population, more infectious and more severe than flu.

The world pre 2020 no longer exists - we may want it to, but it just doesn't. 1/13

[Raising Voices @RaisingVoices]

A new year’s reminder that women's rights organizations are woefully under-resourced. Feminist collectives, organizations and movements need to be well funded to continue to create stronger and more just communities where women, girls, and children thrive.

Have you seen our new knowledge hub? 🧠📚

We have curated the best resources that we think would be most useful to practitioners and organised them thematically to support those of you working in #ViolencePrevention.

[healingsolidarity @_healingsol]

We are inviting different, conscious choices in our sector-choices that make our work more equitable, imaginative, feasible, and joyful! So this year we are making different choices to structure our annual online conference in a new way #healingsolidarity #makingdifferentchoices

[Katy Chadwick @KatyChadwick1]

@abiehunt Yes! Amazing how many reports/policy briefs don't have a date of publication at all (front or back page...) And a suggested way to reference is always handy too...

Searching for feminist illustrators/designers to support some fantastic young researchers looking at girls' experiences of COVID - please share/apply! https://t.co/5i7vBAncKD #FeministResearch #Girls #ShiftThePower

and as @RelebogileM shared 4. ethical storytelling doesn't mean ignoring bad things happening, but does ask us to consider what happens afterwards, how can we imagine (and create) alternatives? And whose alternatives are we giving voice to?

[Katy Chadwick @KatyChadwick1]

Listening in to such an important and powerful discussion on #ethicalstorytelling this afternoon with @africanofilter - see the resource here https://t.co/6s0F13Nwhz
Many lessons shared, but a couple that stood our for me

[Katy Chadwick @KatyChadwick1]

3. small changes in our language can make a huge change - instead of saying 'she fled from her home', talk about how she managed to plan an escape - it gives agency and power back to the person the story belongs to
