Shocked at the state of the world, working to make it better. Intersectional, anti capitalist, anti racist feminism or it's not feminism. Not my employer :)
#Myanmar is in a "spiralling humanitarian crisis," said Tom Andrews at #HRC61 in his final statement to the @UN Human Rights Council as Myanmar Special @RapporteurUn.
“More than 12 million people face acute hunger,” he said, adding that much of the world had forgotten them.
We are alarmed by reports that amidst internet and electricity blackouts, security forces have used excessive force to suppress and disperse ongoing post-election protests, resulting in the deaths and injuries of protesters.
This is the third time in less than a year that Tanzanian authorities have resorted to an internet blockade to silence dissenting voices.

Another year of the pedal poll in the books! Sooooo many cars and quite a few pedestrians. With the recent loss of a cyclist in the community, this felt like an extra important count. #pedalpollsondevelo

Rather than falling more behind, which we in NL canNOT afford - financially, psychologically, socially, culturally, etc. - we could collaboratively prevent & address safety concerns through evidence-based Gov’t social supports & programming, which are instead disappearing.

Repeat ad nauseum.
Ugh.

If people didn't engage (though, to be clear, they did), then maybe it's because they know that #PayEquity is simply a necessary reality in 2024?
Women and Gender Equality Minister Pam Parsons even said she thought “it was disappointing to see the low engagement,” yet the executive council’s annual report noted the pay equity engagement was one of the highest for the year. /2
