.@CNBCMiddleEast@Dan_murphy thank you for having me on the show this International Women’s Day to talk about the progress we’ve made, the unfinished business that remains and why the world can’t afford to wait 132 years for gender equality
My lastest in @ForeignAffairs with @NatashaHallDC on the weaponization of aid by #Russia & #China at the UN Security Council. Both shield regimes presiding over humanitarian crisis like #Syria & #Myanmar. But there are other avenues to deliver relief aid.

“Amid a rollback of women’s rights around the world, it is more crucial now than ever for men to join the fight to end gender-based violence and to take action for gender equality,” said Vital Voices President, CEO and cofounder @AlyseNelson.
"It is all about women owning our bodies, our lives, our futures — the simple rights of self-determination."—@AlyseNelson on Iran.

"And guess what? It turns out that women enjoy having human rights and we vote."
Hillary Clinton, co-founder of Vital Voices, touched on the midterm elections while speaking at its Global Leadership Awards on Wednesday.
Today we are announcing our intention to remove Iran from the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Given Iran’s brutal crackdown on women and girls protesting peacefully for their rights, Iran is unfit to serve on this Commission.
To the protestors: we see you and we hear you.
Join me in standing in solidarity with Iranian women and girls.
The oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran’s regime should not be on the UN Commission on the Status for Women.
