The terrible attacks in #SriLanka disrupted so many positive things, including our online #genderequality advocacy course. But today the participants and me have decided to go back to work. Nothing should stop our quest for a better and more just world for all.

Terrible, tragic news from Sri Lanka. Coordinated bomb blasts in Colombo and Batticaloa kills at least 50 people and injures hundreds, reports say. We Effect staff in the country are safe. Our hearts and minds are with everyone affected.

650 million women and girls alive today were married before their 18th birthday. Not only marrying young is a form of violence in itself, but it also makes them more vulnerable to violence from their partners. #HearMeToo #16Days @SayNO_UNiTE More: https://t.co/NZcTHGLzJ4
