Sex work is not inherently risky. Things like gender-based violence, depression, & poverty create that risk, yet they're dismissed because it's easier to blame sex workers for not using condoms. My research from Cameroon was published today: https://t.co/FQ0c5Uyfil

Too often, having a job doesn't guarantee a person a life of dignity.

Sustainable economic growth & decent work for all are key to achieving the #GlobalGoals.

At the center of New York's affordability crisis: the soaring cost of child care, the issue that unites the city's working families, from the poor to the middle class to the almost-rich. w/ @a_elkeurti

As we argue in the piece, "If women’s empowerment leaders can link up with child development leaders and those who promote access to health, nutrition, education, and other critical services that can be delivered through childcare centers, they create a formidable alliance."

[Dana Schmidt @DanaSchmidt33]

It was a privilege to work with other funders from across #philanthropy to articulate the importance of cross-sector collaboration to advance access to high quality, affordable #childcare. https://t.co/GXt1vQnyCB

"This is a call to not only look outwards and critique other countries/institutions and structural racism elsewhere, but also to look inwards at our own countries/institutions, and our own systems of structural racism and inequity." - @JohnsHopkins’ Lorraine Dean 🇺🇸 #IAS2023

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

.@MelindaGates said it best: “It’s time to start treating child care as essential infrastructure—just as worthy of funding as roads and fiber optic cables.” #WD2023

Disability justice is reproductive justice.
Reproductive justice is disability justice.

Every person deserves the right to accessible and inclusive reproductive health care, the right to comprehensive sex education, and the right to make decisions about their own body and life.

[Anne Connell @AnneMartinConn]

A full house of gender data enthusiasts (nerds??) to hear about the new @UNDP and @UN_Women twin indices on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

As @fridah_githuku put it “We are not USING data enough to inform our action - we are traveling blind.”

[Melinda French Gates @melindagates]

When women can earn money and choose how to spend it, they have more agency over the most important decisions in their life. That is true economic power—and it’s essential for advancing gender equality.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Know this: The civil rights community will not let today’s #303Creative decision turn back the clock on progress.

We will continue to fight for the right to love, to marry, to celebrate, to be served, and for the freedom to be whomever we want to be. 💜

[Equal Measures 2030 @Equal2030]

"Where is the money for black feminist movements?"

The #2022SDGGenderIndex #BlueprintForChange outlines the need to increase & transform funding for #feminist movements & orgs.

And the @blackfemfund report highlights just how urgent this is! 👇

This project includes 21 full-length stories about the Uvalde victims. We spoke to family members about their loved ones — who they were and how they are being remembered.

All of the profiles are paywall-free. I hope you'll give them a read.

nyc hasn't been paying the preschool and daycare providers that make up its once-lauded pre-k system. one estimate from january put the amount owed to them at ~ $400 million. i took a look at how they're coping for @bw + @CityLab https://t.co/x6f4D5btLS

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Like millions of women, Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner left the workforce because of a lack of access to care and support.

President Biden’s Executive Order on care will expand access to affordable, high-quality care and provide support for family caregivers.

In good news, #France officially ratifies the ILO treaty to end violence and harassment at work, after years of campaigning by trade unions and civil society groups. France should now prioritize adopting reforms in line with the convention @hrw https://t.co/HcP7DbU4WV
