I.e. “we keep relying on extraordinarily imbalanced & unpaid additional labor of mostly women & girls who do this on top of other (often unpaid/outside formal labor mkt & at risk of being underpaid, exploitative) work instead of ensuring universal access to childcare & preschool”

Q. “What can we do about lowering the cost of daycare?”

JD Vance:…”Maybe Grandpa and Grandma want to help a little bit more. Maybe there’s an uncle/aunt who wants to help a little bit more…”

Important piece from @hrw’s @MinkysHighjinks.
Global conversation should focus on combating racism & discrimination inherent in sex testing for sports, not bullying women athletes.

For many millions of children, the right to free education is but a promise. Primary education might be free in many places, but secondary education is prohibitively expensive. And access to pre-school is reserved for those who can pay.

It's time for states to change this.

Nowhere in Gaza is safe. The @CIJ_ICJ's order underlines the gravity of the situation in Gaza, where civilians are facing famine.

Yet the Israeli government continues to flout the World Court’s binding orders by obstructing the entry of lifesaving aid and services.

Breaking: Int’l Court of Justice orders Israel to end its assault on Rafah. Govts must use their leverage—including arms embargoes & targeted sanctions—to press Israel to comply w binding @CIJ_ICJ orders. Rules-based int’l order & lives of 2.3 million Palestinians hang in balance

Accountability for war crimes in the former #Yugoslavia isn’t over.

#UN resolution is imptnt recognition of genocidal acts at #Srebenica. Yet # of states rejecting/abstaining shows disturbing hostility to acknowledging even well-documented, widely accepted genocide. ⬇️ @hrw

Good statement by Australia, Canada, EU, UK, USA and others on the situation in #Myanmar.

Time for them to do the same about #Gaza.

The @CIJ_ICJ order to halt Israeli assault on Rafah underlines gravity of situation—nowhere is safe, civilians facing famine & Israel flouting the Court's binding orders. Govts should use their leverage—including arms embargoes & targeted sanctions—to press Israel to comply. @hrw
