Marie Curie, born #OnThisDay in 1867, was the:
👩🔬 First woman to win a Nobel Prize and
🏅 The only one to win in 2 different sciences.
Her legacy and persistence continue to inspire us and #WomenInScience around the world.
The US will continue to have a gender pay gap until it fixes underlying structural problems like the economy's reliance on women doing unpaid or underpaid caregiving for children and older adults. We must give care work the value it deserves.

Don't let what you see on social media skew your view of humanity.
Most bad behavior is due to a few bad apples:
• Just 3% of active users are toxic, but they generate 33% of online content
• 1% of communities launch 74% of conflict
• 0.1% of users spread 80% of fake news

Every woman and girl has the right to feel safe everywhere.
Femicide can and must be prevented.
Every country must invest in prevention, enforce laws, and combat impunity.
Let's demand a world free from fear.

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.
Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”
On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”
12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.
