💔 1 in 3 women faces violence. Let that sink in.

These aren’t just numbers. They’re real people. It’s time to speak up, support, and make a change.

What’s one thing you can do today to stand against violence?

The Kenyan government sent hundreds of caregivers and certified nursing assistants (CNA) to Saudi Arabia.

They say they work in slavery-like conditions with rampant racism, no days off and other labor law violations

Matriculated at Oxford University today.

I remembered our first nights as refugees in Canada, waiting in line for beds at a shelter. My mom gripped my hand.

“This is only a nightmare. When you start school, you'll dream happy things.”

Thank you for letting me dream big, mom.

Happy anniversary, @MichelleObama! 32 years together, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner and friend to go through life with.

“The complicity & silence of bystanders - friends, relatives, & neighbours, not to mention officials of the law - feel like a profound betrayal… Often, survivors will feel the bitterness of these betrayals more deeply even than the direct harms inflicted by perpetrators.”

Kenya welcomes the addition of the African Union — the fastest growing continent in the world — to the G20. This will increase the voice of Africa, visibility, and influence on the global stage and provide a platform to advance the common interest of our people.

This fits perfectly with the resolutions of the just-concluded Africa Climate Summit, including the reform of international financial institutions and multilateral development banks.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

The Kampala Declaration signed by many African States at the #AfricaClimateSummit23 is a historic step towards addressing #ClimateMigration challenges. Together we can continue to find solutions for those impacted by climate change.

Phenomenal run by Mary Moraa to clinch gold in Women's 800M at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. Kenya celebrates you. Congratulations Jacob Krop for your bronze in the 5,000M.

Carl Sagan’s incredibly eloquent 4 min speech to Congress in 1985 about precisely how CO2 and other greenhouse gases caused by humans lead to #climatechange. Worth your time to watch and listen.

🔹The decade-long Human Brain Project comes to an end
🔹A new coronavirus variant
🔹How ‘organoids’ are helping scientists understand menstruation

[Kgethi Phakeng, PhD(Wits); Hon DSc (UBristol) @FabAcademic]

I am sure you have heard about hacking, but have you heard about brain hacking!? 😳 Is it possible to hack someone’s brain? Well today at 17:00 (SAST) I will have a conversation with Dr Mubeen Goolam who is establishing the first brain organoids laboratory in Africa. Mubeen will explain what brain organoids are, as well as the value of this research for disease modelling, new therapies & drug development, particularly with complex organs like the brain. But why do we need this kind of research in Africa? Should we be concerned that the ability to read & write into the brain that this technology brings could be misused to manipulate human minds and behaviour?
Join me at 5pm here: https://t.co/oyPrIgNLDa
Make sure you don’t miss what promises to be a very interesting conversation. At the end we will announce the GESDA Youth & Anticipation Summit competition where you stand a chance to win an all expenses paid trip to attend the GESDA Summit in Switzerland from 11 to 13 October this year.

Humanitarian…

…are #NotATarget.

Life-saving humanitarian work depends on the safe, unhindered movement of humanitarian supplies and people.
