Water Wash Pacific

Pacific feminist approaches to water and sanitation. SRHR. Menstrual rights. Water justice in cyclones, drought & other loss & damage. Water is life.

-Why is this even a thing about discussing #MenstrualRights?
Simple. Patriarchy (look it up if not sure).

*Stop trying to control menstruating bodies.
*Stop w heteronormative, gendered control.
*Stop making it seem dirty or a secret.

1.8 BILLION people menstruate every month.

Any feminism that privileges those who already have privilege is bound to be irrelevant to poor women, working class women, women of color, trans women, trans women of color.

A clear message is being sent by the Solomon Islands on the value of the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI).

The application of the MVI is crucial to any effort seeking to achieve graduation from LDC status.

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

The peculiar vulnerabilities of small states are best assessed by the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI).
It will help LDCs graduate sustainably from this status so they can reap the benefits of truly being a part of the global economy.

With this treaty, a new chapter for equity in the world’s oceans has begun. Almost 2 decades ago, SIDS drew attention to the governance gap for the ocean areas beyond national jurisdiction and lack of a comprehensive regime to adequately regulate human activities in those areas.
