Brave women in Kabul saying ‘no to Taliban’s mandatory burqa’ which has taken women’s agency and dignity for generations.
It is a crime against humanity to turn a country into a prison for half its population. Afghanistan’s women are human beings.
زن، زندگی، آزادی.
Great to hear Howard Covington speaking from @ClientEarth on the importance of women’s leadership & ‘legal warriors’ using the power of the law to hold fossil fuel entities to account. #climatejustice#genderjustice#ClimateAction

The EU is about to pass a law that could be a turning point in the fight against deforestation.
How? It will force companies to ensure that their products have not caused nature destruction if they want to sell them in European shops and supermarkets.

Today is #DayOfTheGirl and I am thinking of all the girls desperate to go to school in my homeland.
Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where teenage girls are banned from going to school. 14 months have passed since girls were imprisoned in their homes by the Taliban.
“We are not just in a climate emergency. We are in the foothills of the sixth mass extinction, and these defenders are some of the few people standing in the way. The future of our species, and our planet, depends on it.”

Robert Kennedy, the brother of President Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 when he too was running for president of the USA, summarised this well. He said of GDP:
The trouble with GDP is that it is really not a very good measure. First of all it says that all that is paid for with money is good and everything else is not. So, if childcare is paid for its good. And if it is done at home, or by granny, it has no value.
