Every time a woman 👩🏽 speaks up 🗣 about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, the cycle of abuse continues.
Every time you hear a survivor’s story, here is what you should do👇🏼
1-Listen.
2-Believe.
3-Support.

@SwedeninNigeria We @P4D__ can't agree more! It is time to think and act big. Towns and cities need more green spaces and less grey infrastructure in order to reduce heat retention and flooding whilst improving health and well-being.
By the time famine is declared too many have already died. We are calling on global leaders to:
➡️ fund $6.6 billion to help those most at risk
➡️ end conflict & implement global ceasefire
➡️ ensure humanitarian workers reach those affected
➡️ #FightFamine
#COVID19 has worsened existing gender inequalities and rolled back progress for the rights of women and girls in the 🌍
Equality must be at the heart of the global response to building back from the pandemic.

@IAP2CDN@GRobinson101 Love this part, "..preferring to keep discussions at the kitchen table rather than the boardroom table..". I love it under the trees by day and the moon at night. PP is being human!
Development geared towards the satisfaction of human needs cannot be structured from the top downwards, cannot be imposed on the people either by law. It can only emanate directly from the actions, expectations, creative minds and critical awareness of the people

Happy children's day to all the children in Nigeria!
The Nigerian child is the future of Nigeria.
The Nigerian children deserve better education like every other child around the world including American children.

While this is on, attention should also be turn to the current LG system in Nigeria, because is a hurdle to community development. It lacks the "developmental structure" that will propel participatory development at the grassroots level. 'LG remains the driver of development'
