THIS IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY THE SCHOOLS and a direct violation of children's dignity, their right to bodily autonomy and the right to education! 👇🏾👇🏾

IT IS ALSO IN DIRECT CONTRARY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL POLICIES TO END GBV by @MWCPA_Fiji

🚨🦇🚨 SEND UP THE BAT-SIGNAL🚨🦇🚨

Scientists exploring some of Fiji’s most remote islands have uncovered a treasure trove of endangered bats.

And it’s the largest known cave roost in the Pacific region. https://t.co/iZKxeSt9Jc

[Priya Chand @dearpriya_]

Going ‘batty’ over this discovery!

I absolutely LOVED writing this story.

Researchers from Fiji and Australia have found a cave full of thousands of endangered Pacific Sheath-tailed bats on the remote Lau Islands.

A @ConservationOrg, @austmus & @uniofadelaide expedition uncovered the largest known bat cave in the Pacific Islands. Researchers also found populations of a species they’d feared was racing toward extinction.

Unfortunately we have normalized this approach in the Pacific because our local professionals need the work. But paying the national consultant 100 usd and the int consultant 500-100 usd per day is a sad nod to the continued undermining of local expertise by int organizations.

[lagipoiva @lagipoiva]

So the expectation was, I provide all of the contacts, the local knowledge and actual knowledge on subject matter and for dude to get paid 10 times my day rate, full credit for report, add my work to his portfolio and go on to do similar, much larger work 😂

[lagipoiva @lagipoiva]

When I was consulting, I was once asked by a UN agency to send in a proposal to be a national consultant on a gender related contract. The role, to support the international consultant to develop a policy document on gender in Samoa. The int consultant : white Australian man.

[Taylor Swift @taylorswift13]

I can’t put into words what this means to me. For the @RecordingAcad and my peers to acknowledge me as a director, and in doing so, acknowledge my work to try and reclaim my music… I’m blown away. Thank you to all the fans who willed this to happen.
