For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.
Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

Reposting this as a tribute to someone who brought so much joy into my life through his work. No matter what I was going through, his movies always made me laugh, smile, and feel lighter.
His work will always be remembered and celebrated, by me and by so many Ethiopians.

A bleak reminder of the dire situation for Afghan women and girls. The latest Taliban crackdown? Reportedly suspending women from midwife and nurse training. This would effectively cut off a woman’s last route to further education in the country. It is a vital role as male medics are not allowed to treat a woman unless a male guardian is present. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
🆕 ON THE BLOG: IRF Associate, Ruth Mesfin Getachew just released an op-ed on our Intern Insights Blog titled, “Muted Yet Mighty: Afghan Women’s Fight for Freedom” — but we hear their call for justice, freedom and hope.

“In many parts of the world women have the right to express themselves, to speak, to sing, and to be heard. Yet, in Afghanistan, women have been silenced by force. Women are shouting, crying out for the world to hear them because they need their voices to be amplified. They are singing, “The flower will unfurl, revealing a spring of freedom,” they are chanting. “I sing the anthem of freedom, again, again, freedom.” This is not simply a cry for rights; it’s a cry for survival.”

For us humanitarian workers, there is nothing worse than the feeling of seeing so much pain and misery around us and not being able to protect or help all the people in need. This profound feeling of helplessness is how many of us are feeling. Still we cannot and won’t give up.
I just saw someone saying “not matthew perry, chandler Bing was my friend when I didn’t feel like I have any” and that sums it up perfectly.
You made me laugh when i needed it the most,
Friends was my comfort on those dark days
But Chandler you were everything......
