Leaving office after 8 years as President of Iceland. It's been a ride and a tremendous honour. Now the future awaits. Thank you 🇮🇸

@KristjanAStef And no women at the table!

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

Three years ago today, the brave journalist Katsiaryna Andreeva was arrested while reporting on protests following the #Belarus regime's killing of Raman Bandarenka. As her 2-year sentence neared its end, an additional 8 years were added. Please join us in demanding her release.

Today we repeat the event of the first full day women’s strike since 1975, marking the day when 90% of Icelandic women took the day off from both work and domestic duties, leading to pivotal change including the world’s first female elected president of a country #kvennaverkfall

[Kristín A Árnadóttir @KAArnadottir]

Women in Iceland strike again, 48 years since our last general strike; “we are fed up!” #Kvennaverkfall

Leaving Vienna and heading home 🇮🇸. Stating in my last OSCE PC “…we are seeing the worst of patriarchal elements in the war fought on our grounds; the greed for power, male aggression and dominance, killings and distruction. “

[Yevhenii Tsymbaliuk @YevheniiT]

At the #OSCE Permanent council called the international community to join Ukraine’s efforts to save grain exports to the world and ensure that russia’s criminal tactics of food blackmailing fail. No more #HungerGames!
Grateful to the partners for expressed support of #GrainDeal.

NB8 🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪🇩🇰🇸🇪🇫🇮🇮🇸🇳🇴statement on #GenderEquality delivered in @osce by 🇮🇸Amb.@KAArnadottir:

“We must do our utmost to ensure full,equal,meaningful participation of women & girls in all their diversity.
Neither can we ignore […] harmful social norms or gender stereotypes.”

[Kristín A Árnadóttir @KAArnadottir]

And ofcourse 🇮🇸 strongly objected.

[Katrina Kaktina 🇱🇻🇺🇦 @KatrinaKaktina]

Today at @OSCE 🇷🇺Russia, when speaking about gender equality (GE),referred to women as “the weak gender”.

The absolute majority of OSCE participating States, including 🇱🇻Latvia, objected the use of such term as unacceptable.

🇪🇺 thanks @HelgaSchmid_SG for her Annual Progress Report on the Implementation of the Sofia 2004 OSCE Action Plan on #GenderEquality.

🇪🇺 strongly encouraged States to second more female candidates to @OSCE senior management positions & to keep statistics on female nominations.

[Þórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörð Gylfadóttir🇮🇸 @thordiskolbrun]

Leaders like my courageous friend Sviatlana are making sacrifices so others may have better lives. It is the duty of us in liberal democracies to make their fight our fight.

For the third time in 3 years Earth erupts in #Reykjanes. No threat to infrastructure yet, but Civil Defence has closed off a large danger zone for the time being due to volcanic gasses. Meanwhile, we monitor the spectacle from a safe distance, in awe of Mother Nature.
