[WO=MEN, Dutch Gender Platform @genderplatform]

Sterke boodschap van @KarinvdVelde van @RutgersNL voor de #CSW: “Zorg ervoor dat seksuele vorming niet ondergesneeuwd raakt. Seksuele vorming aankaarten in multilaterale onderhandelingen vergt een dappere en vooruitziende instelling. NL kan op dit thema het verschil maken.” [2/?]

[Karin van der Velde @KarinvdVelde]

Ik wil hier niet veel meer over zeggen dan dit want dan wordt ik weer kwaad over de hoeveelheid onbegrip en haat die wordt verspreid, laten we kijken naar het grote plaatje en daaraan werken

Wore heels all week except on picture day 🙃all jokes aside, so lovely to learn from each other!

[Charity Kiwumulo.☺️ @CKiwumulo]

Excited to have completed the training on the best approaches to advocate & improve the lives of all young people. It is true that when young people are meaningfully engaged & given platforms to participate, they can positively influence all areas of society.

@Mwanaisha_Musa Thank you!! It was truly a pleasure!

[Karin van der Velde @KarinvdVelde]

My past week has been such a good one! So happy to be back in Uganda. 🇺🇬👊

[Reach A Hand Africa @reachahand]

Great appreciation goes to the facilitators for taking the coalition through a valuable training that has prepared us for implementation. Through the #GenerationGender project, we intend to see young people that are fully informed & empowered to fight all forms of injustices.

@MarkReichwein @NLinGeneva ah we zijn elkaar net misgelopen, jammer! Succes!!

Gooi die kurk maar los!!!!!! Bijna 40 jaar later, hopelijk volgt het halen van abortus uit het Wetboek van Strafrecht wat sneller ;-)

[Jan Paternotte @jpaternotte]

Terwijl Amerika op punt staat federaal recht op abortus te schrappen kiest Nederland voor versterking van dat recht.
Ons wetsvoorstel om verplichte 5 dagen bedenktijd voor vrouwen af te schaffen is zojuist in de Eerste Kamer aangenomen!

Linking our @RutgersNL work to international spaces! A campaign we're very proud of, but of course I'm biased. 😁

[Karin van der Velde @KarinvdVelde]

An important mandate! 👏

[UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC]

At #HRC50, @victor_madrigal told the Human Rights Council that, around the world, lesbian, gay & bisexual, trans & gender-diverse, and intersex people face "discriminatory and violent barriers" to the right to physical + mental health.
