Honoured to present Strømme Foundation's Speed School model at today's side event at the #LDC5 conference in Doha. The event hosted by @EAA_Foundation highlighted the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships to ensure we provide access to education for out-of school children
“We have a strong anchoring in the local community” - @annebe78, Deputy International Director of @Stromme_S tells the panel about the importance of strong relationships in the communities organisations work in.
@BBCcarolynquinn I have loved listening to you. First whenI still lived in London and then afterwards via the iplayer when I moved back to my native Norway. Thank you!
This is Mursal Nabizadah. She was a former Member of Parliament in Afghanistan and was shot dead in her home last night in Kabul by armed men, alongside her bodyguards.
Taliban ruled-Afghanistan is no longer a place for women. For humanity. For life.
To the young women of Iran who are in the streets to demand freedom and safety: You are already changing the world with your courage.
To everyone else: Share their stories to help keep this movement alive.
Zan! Zendigi! Azadi!
Women! Life! Freedom!

The story of Sarina Esmailzadeh reached me this morning, I'm somewhat at a loss for words. We talk about freedoms with no understanding of what it means to pay the ultimate price in fighting for it. This brave girl was only 16 years in the world...
Whatever a woman chooses to wear, she has the right to decide for herself.
As I have said before: If someone forces me to cover my head, I will protest. If someone forces me to remove my scarf, I will protest.
I am calling for justice for #MahsaAmini. https://t.co/Vi7jVqUHzf
Takk for et godt møte i dag @NorwayinNepal ambassadør Torun Dramdal. God samtale med styre og ansatte i Strømmestiftelsen om våre programmer for ungdom i Nepal, med vekt på å sikre likestiling, demokratisk deltakelse og utdanning - og bekjempe skadelige skikker. @Stromme_S
Powerful & gut-wrenching exhibit @UN. “What were you wearing?”is one of the most common qs victims of sexual assault get asked. Each of the outfits you see in the photos was worn by a survivor at the time of their assault. Its time to shift the blame to where it really belongs
Nå er det vanlige folks tur. Husk bare at vanlige folk sulter i Niger, står uten skolegang i Uganda, nektes vaksiner i Sør-Sudan, mangler helsehjelp i Nepal og har mistet levebrødet på Sri Lanka. Dette er ikke tiden for å sende regningen til vanlige folk.
The Israeli military killing of Shireen Abu Akleh is devastating and infuriating. I condemn this unacceptable attack on her, on Palestinians and the freedom and safety of journalists everywhere.
There must be accountability, and we must demand an end to Israeli apartheid.
Veien ut av fattigdom starter første skoledag. I mange land har skolene har vært stengt i flere år. Millioner av barn har droppet ut. Læringstapet er enormt. Det er vanskelig å forstå at regjeringen velger å kutte utdanningsbistanden med 40 % i denne situasjonen.
Chris Smalls, president of @amazonlabor, wants anti-union politicians like @LindseyGrahamSC to remember one thing:
"This is not a left or right thing. This is a working class issue. And the workers at the bottom are the ones who make these corporations go.”
- 18 million people in Afghanistan need aid. - 13 million in Yemen are severely hungry. - 15 million in Central Sahel are in need. - 4 million in Somalia are drought-affected.
Human suffering is at unprecedented levels across the world, Ukraine is the latest in a long list.
