#COVID19 is thriving on broken systems and injustices, as @Jeankemitare rightly explains. #COVID19leadership #dignifiedresponse #feministresponse #feministtrasnformationalleadership #pandemic #BuildBackBetter

#DignifiedResponse is just one of the initiatives women are engaging in to combat the adverse effects of COVID-19 on women and girls: Schools closed, income reduced = more risk of #FGM and more #childmarriage, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

[AWID @AWID]

#DignifiedResponse is a #FeministResponse which intends to ensure the response and recovery to #COVID19 crisis upholds and preserves the dignity of everyone, especially women in all their diversities.

Agree @McGlynnClare, wonder whether, if the young women were able to fight back, this would be called a 'beating-style resistance'.

Oh dear. This is such an important survey. But this headline is so terrible. They're not 'rape-like' assaults; they are rape.

A child doesn't understand what 'child pornography' is. #sexualexploitation #childrights

[ECPAT International @ECPAT]

We agree, #WordsMatter! Using terminology that trivialises the sexual abuse and exploitation of children is never okay.

Wow . @MichelleElman what pearls of wisdom are tumbling from your talk on #SheInspiresMeLIVE !

[Arpy Shively @WomanWorksWeb]

The panel on #SheInspiresMeLIVE is talking about the importance of feeling uncomfortable (out of your comfort zone) because only then can you convey the discomfort of a situation to others. Definitely relate to this, @womenforwomenUK !

[Women for Women International UK @womenforwomenUK]
