What an incredible experience to co-author this with my work co-pilot, Alex. AND to have the opportunity to explore #gender x #design over the past year after being intrigued by its potential. A personal reflection combined with a collaborative exploration. #16DaysOfActivism

[IDEO.org @IDEOorg]

For this year's #16DaysCampaign, we're reflecting on gender in design 💡
How might we utilize HCD to identify and create gender transformative solutions? Can we imagine a gender-equal world that is free of violence—and use design to get there?

It's been exciting to manage this program of gender practitioners from across #internationaldev to design innovative solutions for #genderequality. We've learned & created so much together! We’ve identified some hard problems in gender & dev, and are using #design to solve them.

How can design impact gender in development?

The Chroma Collective program aims to advance gender in international development through design innovation, and has led us to question how we as an organization center gender transformative design.

@StevenFulop @JerseyCity @SolomonforJC , etc - is jersey city going to put out any words about mitigating the massive omicron spread in our area? Been following NYC of course, but JC seems to be alarmingly operating business as usual?

@SUEZwaterNJ @JCMUA Warren St. Jersey City was told by a worker at 8:30p that our water would be out for a few hours. Is it now safe to use our water regularly again?

"feminist solidarity is recognizing that freedom for women in Afghanistan is freedom for all people to access safety and justice for themselves and their communities, and creating a world where this can be achieved."

Solitary w/ Afghan women: Don't pity or save us, recognize resilience of Afghan women, how they have fought for years to improve country. We need feminists to demand accountability from own governments about what happened in #AfghanistanCrisis @ZubaidaAKBR @AWID @UNSRCulture

[Vital Voices @VitalVoices]

Join us in raising up the voices of Afghan women’s rights activists who are under imminent threat, and urge @POTUS to honor the commitment to gender equality by acting swiftly to support women who are trapped in a dire crisis. Learn more at https://t.co/ANA3xpyHEJ

@MSucameli @JerseyCity @MayorFulop This was successfully cancelled! Bye. 👋👏

[MaryBeth Bognar @MaryBeth_Bognar]

Hi @JerseyCity @MayorFulop . How is this ok??? #jerseycity

[MaryBeth Bognar @MaryBeth_Bognar]

@MSucameli @JerseyCity @MayorFulop But obviously that's the example to show high school students. Show high school boys they can be honored despite violating girls. Show girls men that do this are ok. I'm not for cancel culture, but this is a no brainer.

300+ organizations and faith groups agree: @POTUS must open up all humanitarian pathways to vulnerable Afghans.

#AfghanAllies are also the activists & rights defenders who have dedicated their lives to advancing peace and democracy in Afghanistan. They need evacuation assistance now. We must not leave them behind.

[The International Legal Foundation @theilf]

Women & girls in conflict with the law face unique and intersecting challenges but are often forgotten in the fight for equality. We must not let them fall through the cracks.
