🌈 - Hope, like love, is all around. Last November, the supreme court of Nepal allowed same-sex marriage. Trans-woman Maya Gurung and Surendra Pandey were the first couple to register, says @bardvegar at the #NoradConference2024

Kun 2 prosent av verdens befolkning bor nå i land der de fritt kan si hva de mener, organisere seg og demonstrere. Det er enda færre enn for fem år siden, noe som delvis skyldes misbruk av pandemitiltak, viser ny rapport fra Civicus. https://t.co/ma21Z0CYzb

Discouraged by the backsliding of democracy around the world & the fact that only 2% of the 🌎’s population live in freedom where rights are protected, but ENCOURAGED by the strong, brave and visionary leaders voicing their aspirations at 🌐 The @noradno Conference.

[Nikolai Hegertun @nikolaihe]

Brilliant analysis by Emmanuel Gyimah-Boadi of @afrobarometer on the status of democracy in Africa:
“Despite the seeming new-found popularity of military governments in Africa, African citizens still demand democracy. But African leaders are not supplying democracy.”

Well said Magdalena.

REMINDER: "On average across the 43 nations surveyed, less than 6 percent of respondents listed climate [...] grant money in particular should go to the poorest countries for development, which is, thus far, the only proven path to climate resilience." https://t.co/k2MZjcF2FP

- Verdens statsledere ble enige om bærekraftsmålene i 2015. Målene var ambisiøse, men fullt mulig å nå. I dag er vår, Norads, vurdering at de er umulige å nå uten en massiv mobilisering. Finansieringsgapet er for stort.

[Robert Carr Fund @RobertCarrFund]

@BjorgSandkjaer, State Secretary for Development, Norway: "@RobertCarrFund clearly met the need for global and regional #networks' development. Norway was involved in setting up the fund and @noradno
always followed the development of the Fund as an ISC member". @NorwayMFA

[Robert Carr Fund @RobertCarrFund]

@BjorgSandkjaer: "Protection of #sexual and reproductive rights is a high priority for @NorwayMFA. It is unacceptable that such fundamental values and rights are under threat. #Norway will do what we can to support community-led networks. Funding RCF is essential in this regard"

[Robert Carr Fund @RobertCarrFund]

Peter Carr, father of Robert Carr:"@RobertCarrFund needs to continue to strive for excellence and give a voice to marginalised populations.
Remember, Robert is smiling and his spirit is always with you."
See you in 10 years for the 20th #RCF anniversary. Thank you. #RCF10years
