[Plan International Australia @PlanAustralia]

Article 99 has not been invoked for decades - we should be deeply and collectively alarmed. Anything less than an immediate, lasting ceasefire is a stain on our collective conscience.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

UNICEF is calling for all access crossings into Gaza to be opened for a safe, sustained and unimpeded access of humanitarian aid, including water, food, medical supplies, and fuel.

More children have been killed in Gaza in the last 3 weeks than the total number killed in all global conflicts in the last four years. Let that sink in. Source: Save the Children/The Age.

@AdamsJaki @June_Oscar This is great news!

Absolute highlight listening to Dr Lois Peeler, talking about Worawa College in Victoria, and their Aboriginal change makers program, that honours and teaches about the First Nations activists that have come before us ⁦@FutureWomen⁩ #FWSummit

‘So many times I listened to the systems of power rather than my own intuition… don’t buy into white man capitalism’s definition of success’ love listening to Mariam Mohammed @FutureWomen #FWSummit

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

‘Diverse groups of people do make better decisions’. Love hearing about the ‘dude budget’ of 2020. Budgets being decided only by men means that women miss out. Keen to see how gender responsive budgeting is implemented this yr to address this @annabelcrabb @FutureWomen #FWSummit

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

‘I’m so passionate about watching young women in unlearning some of the stupidest and most painful stuff’ - so great to hear @annabelcrabb talking about the importance of young women’s leadership in a range of areas (and the courage it takes to be such leaders!) @FutureWomen

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

‘Sometimes it’s just as important to unlearn things… to be a leader today, it’s most important to recognise what you’re not getting, fill that gap by learning and admitting when there is stuff that you don’t know’ @annabelcrabb at the @FutureWomen summit

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

Excited to be @FutureWomen summit today, listening to @annabelcrabb first up!

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

@hahnscratch This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

Yes so excited to be with Bettina and the YAS this week at Parliament talking about the incredible work they’ve done on young women, girls and gender diverse people’s leadership and political participation.

[Plan International Australia @PlanAustralia]

Young change-makers from across Australia, including @planaustralia youth activist Bettina, have embarked on a mission to Parliament this week to meet senior ministers and leaders with a bold new blueprint to ensure youth engagement in politics

Men on the internet appear to think free tampons in Victoria signals the end of equality… Have they heard about, you know, women’s entire lives?

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

Looking forward to hearing about how the govt will ensure that young women and girls' voices are heard in the new development policy, so their priorities are reflected in our aid program

[Jen Merryweather @m1987_jen]

Great to hear @PatConroy1 talking about the importance of young people in the region, and the disproportionate impact of poverty, climate, COVID-19 and conflict on them, especially girls #ACFID2022
