Great to be at #WHS2024 for ⁦@WaterAidUK⁩ to highlight importance of investing in water, sanitation & hygiene to address risk of #AMR - Thank you to EC, gov of Sweden & gov of Germany in sharing importance of WASH for tackling infection.

“To rebuild trust in the UK the government needs to show up at key global moments and reprioritise UK aid so we no longer turn up, empty handed. The UK’s lack of presence and pledges is noticed on the world stage” @romilly_bond @IPPR #LabConf24

Excited to be heading to #LabourConference2024 to talk all things #Water #WASH #UKAid & #GenderEquality - & how to address the water & climate crisis.

Are you as shocked as Lib Dem leader @EdwardJDavey was to find out that over 700 million people STILL live without clean water? 🤯

It's a basic human right!

@LibDems @LibDemConf #LDConf

[WaterAid UK 💦 @WaterAidUK]

Millions of lives depend on @Keir_Starmer's next move, so let’s make sure that move is prioritising clean water for everyone.

This week, the world experienced its hottest day on record 🌡️🥵

@kat_night, global international affairs director at @wateraid, is quoted in @thetimes, saying “It is clear that climate concerns are spreading at pace... millions face this harsh reality every single day..."

[Helen Pankhurst @HelenPankhurst]

At the last election women were 42% more likely than men to be turned away due to voter ID rules, according to @DVUKObservers. This is worrying. #SheVotes24. @CentenaryAction @fawcettsociety @ElectHer_UK @5050Parliament

More than 13,000 women will give birth in the next month in #Gaza (UN).
We spoke to @KaamilAhmed for a @guardian article covering the constant trauma of pregnant women & new mothers, including Yasmeen who gave birth to premature triplets during the war.

Good to see development agenda and priorities being communicated. Critical to see the momentum built up to make progress isn’t lost!

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Rebuilding our development reputation. Genuine partnership with the Global South. Economic growth. Climate action. Empowering women and girls. Equality at the heart of all we do.

Change begins now.

[Katherine Nightingale @kat_night]

Concerning that is appears as if development is being deprioritised as a sub level of foreign policy and equalities instead of a core priority for driving progress on both these areas!

[Katherine Nightingale @kat_night]

@ClaudiaRTCraig Domestic and International?…. I mean we have been calling for that… surely they weren’t listening?

[Katherine Nightingale @kat_night]

Welcome @AnnelieseDodds to one of the most important jobs in Cabinet! Addressing the global water crisis is critical for all but especially for women’s rights, women’s health & their economic opportunities - @WaterAidUK is ready to work with you to accelerate action!
