Canada has failed to #KeepThePromise of renewing commitments to foreign aid in #Budget2023.

Not investing in foreign aid jeopardizes the progress of vulnerable communities across the world facing the brunt of crises like conflict and hunger.

It's been an incredible 50 years working for children, & I wanted to share that I am retiring & stepping down as @UNICEFCanada CEO.

Over the past few days I have shared this news with my colleagues, friends, families, our supporters and wanted to share it with you as well.

While more than 50% of Afghanistan’s population currently faces acute hunger, Canada is withholding #AidForAfghanistan. When people are living with severe hunger, aid should never be denied.

Grit, grace and gusto. I'm in awe of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. No doubt her tenure will be exceptional #persist

[The Associated Press @AP]

Tearfully embracing a history-making moment for the nation, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said her confirmation as the first Black woman to the Supreme Court showed the progress of America: “We’ve made it — all of us.” https://t.co/k3ybsJvZEi

"...Canada is an outlier on removing barriers for humanitarian organizations." Workable solutions have been tabled, while nearly half the population of #Afghanistan stands at the foot of food insecurity. Time to find a viable way through. @HarjitSajjan @melaniejoly @DavidLametti

[World Vision Canada @worldvisioncan]

Nearly 23 million people in Afghanistan are expected to experience severe food insecurity in 2022.

We're calling on #Canada to remove the legal barriers preventing organizations from providing life-saving assistance in Afghanistan. Read more here: https://t.co/xpQghCRSZA

Ever wonder what it takes to get that perfect picture? Have a listen to Paul Bettings share the background of these stunning pics from Mongolia. Spoiler alert - my conflict of interest is next level with this man;) #nikonphotography #photographylovers https://t.co/IoPeS1SHeu

When we talk about equal rights for women, it means sexual and reproductive health and rights. This means supporting women and girls around the world and seeing how @CanadaDev can continue to advocate with feminist solutions to this global challenge.

Have you ever heard of the Darién Gap?🏞

It’s the dangerous stretch of land between South & Central America.
100K migrants dared to cross in 2021, in search of a better life.

Disorientation
Deep Mud
High Mountain
Gangs
Are just some of the risks they faced

Bold leadership is required if we’re going to change the fact that most women and girls eat least and last around the world. Grateful for this announcement and our partnership with @NutritionIntl in Senegal to move towards a more equal world. @CanadaDev @CanEmbSenegal
