136 of our colleagues in Gaza have been killed in 75 days – something we have never seen in @UN history.

Most of our staff have been forced from their homes.

I pay tribute to them & the thousands of aid workers risking their lives as they support civilians in Gaza.

No more oppression.
No more discrimination.
No more marginalization.
No more gender-based violence.

On #IDPD, commit to protecting the rights of women and girls with disabilities. #16days #orangetheworld

Over 2300 children are living on the streets in #Mombasa #Kenya and are exposed to the risk of contracting #schistosomiasis.
The #AscendLot1 programme is focused on driving down this risk through drug distribution and prevention. #Streetchildren should not be #leftbehind.

@ConnerHabib Moving home in March after 11 years abroad. This thread gives me such good feelings about my decision. Thanks @ConnerHabib and see you in an Irish bookstore soon. ☘️

Great to be a part of this novel #research into #disability and developmental delay amongst preschool children in Malawi.

@MallowNews I'd rather Gay than Jim’ll fix it

[Rachel Murphy 🇮🇪 @racimurphy]

@ireland Oh wow - currently thinking of doing the same. Keep me posted on the highs and lows of moving back and good luck settling into life in Ireland ☘️

@StefanMolyneux I am perfectly happy without children and with a successful career. Happiness is not defined in the same way for all people #kidsdontbringhappiness

[Leo Varadkar @LeoVaradkar]

This is significant. No matter what else may happen as a result of #Brexit, Irish and British citizens will still be able to live, travel work, study and access healthcare, housing and welfare in each other’s countries as though we were citizens of both https://t.co/NVlAjMeYmi

[Rachel Murphy 🇮🇪 @racimurphy]

@The_Emmo @ireland Should also mention access to national systems for benefits to cover these is difficult, often based on medical definition of disability not a more social definition which is more encompassing esp for mental health sufferers

[Rachel Murphy 🇮🇪 @racimurphy]

@The_Emmo @ireland There is no consensus in the international community on the definition on disability. Other definitions refer to limitations in interactions with environment too so could encompass temporary disabilities too including short term sufferers of mental health

"Our sector talks of intersectionality and “leaving no one behind”, but are we doing enough to reflect these principles in our own workforces?" https://t.co/Mn7nysON97

Humbled to be present for all those who suffered at the hands of the church in Ireland. The last of the #MagdaleneLaundries only closed in 1996. Time for acknowledgment, action & accountability #TruthJusticeLove #stand4truth #PopeInIreland #ireland2018

#CatholicChurch crimes not sins continue as facilitation of #abuse prevails through cover up & protection for priests & nuns who abused children, vulnerable adults, women and men in Éire & abroad #popeinIreland #StandforTruth #AbuseOfPower @Colmogorman

Last year, 313 aid workers were victims of major attacks. 139 of them were killed, 102 wounded and 72 kidnapped.
