@KNH_hospital How wonderful to see this play room for the children, the toys and to hear that this is giving the children some happiness and distraction! Alicia will happily watch the children from her own little star. Good luck with all the impressive work you are doing!

The team launched a play room at Paediatric Wards 3D/4A which was donated by parents to the late Alicia Franken, a paediatric cancer patient from Netherlands.
They were received by Dr. Juliana Muiva, Head of Department Paediatrics who thanked them for their continuous support.

Iraanse rechters leggen nu de doodstraf op aan demonstranten die opkomen voor #VrouwenLevenVrijheid #JinJiyanAzadi.

Internationale druk op het regime in #Iran & solidariteit met de protestanten is belangrijker dan ooit 💪

How do young people define #decentwork? What makes a job attractive to them? And what can employers do to ensure the jobs are decent? These questions are addressed in our latest podcast episode, "The case for decent work".

The Netherlands is delighted to host the next Conference on #FeministForeignPolicy in 2023, following the great example of Germany and @ABaerbock. A FFP will bring our foreign policy goals peace, prosperity and security closer. #ShapingFFP

Goed nieuws! Volgens de vandaag gepubliceerde Dutch Female Board Index werden er afgelopen jaar voor het eerst meer vrouwen dan mannen benoemd als commissaris en voldoet nu 80% van de beursgenoteerde bedrijven aan het quotum dat eerder dit jaar intrad. Op naar de 100%!

[Sietse Blom @sietseblom]

Onbestaanbaar dat Nederland stopt met waar we zo goed in zijn: basisonderwijs. Wereldwijd staat onderwijsfinanciering zwaar onder druk. Terwijl de 'learning gap' na de pandemie juist is toegenomen. Hopelijk houdt Nederland oog voor kinderen en onderwijs bij andere instrumenten!

Zometeen: Mildred Roethof is documentairemaker. Haar nieuwe vierdelige documentaireserie 'Op Weg naar de Top' onderzoekt de emancipatie van het Nederlandse vrouwenvoetbal: is een glansrijke carrière voor hen nu vanzelfsprekender dan vroeger? ▶️ https://t.co/TDr77UbDYX

[ActionAid EU @ActionAidEU]

Together with 80+ CSOs we call on the Commission, EP and the Council to ensure the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive is gender-responsive and effective. Without making the needed changes the proposal risks leaving women and girls behind

@AnikaSnel Thank you for your kind words. 🙏 Achieving gender equality and promoting empowerment of women and girls constitutes an integral part of our foreign policy.

Inspiring to see the story of a women garment worker at @ABNAMRO #humanrights Conference. More stories along the garment supply chain can be found at: https://t.co/3dBbPx8PC3 Inspiring project for me to make this series of stories together with @fairwear_org and @PlanNederland

Just attended the @ABNAMRO #humanrights Conference! Great to see gender responsive #HRDD was put on the agenda. Good exchange of speakers with different journeys and ambition to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion! More insights about GR-HRDD? https://t.co/gbFRYSX3zH

"De invoering van wetgeving voor verantwoord ondernemen uit Europa kan 4 tot 8 jaar duren. Duitsland en Frankrijk hebben de vlucht naar voren genomen. Wat kan Nederland doen als het Europees niet lukt?", vraagt @Ahammelburg

[WO=MEN, Dutch Gender Platform @genderplatform]

Wat is #GRHRDD en hoe kan de @SER_NL dit toepassen in hun werk? Tijdens de workshop van vandaag gaven we met @ActionAid_NL @MachteldO @Women_Win praktische handvaten voor het toepassen van een genderlens in #duedilligence processen.

Today is international #LiteracyDay! Being able to read and write enables and empowers young people to make independent decisions, voice their opinions, and shape their own future. Access to quality education and narrowing the #digitaldivide is crucial. @GPforEducation
