Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Violence against women has increased globally this year and has become a shadow pandemic amidst the COVID-19. This is very alarming. Ending violence against women is everyone’s business.

Well deserved Nobel prize for WFP, who continues to work to improve the conditions of those who are the most vulnerable worldwide. WFP’s work towards fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger is incredibly important, especially now during a pandemic.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

WFP is deeply humbled to receive the 2020 #NobelPeacePrize.

This is in recognition of the work of WFP staff who put their lives on the line every day to bring food and assistance to more than 100 million hungry children, women and men across the world.

Racism is a serious problem in the academic world. We write about racism in the academic world and how the racist structures should be eradicated: https://t.co/DMAJvSrsNX. #BlackLivesMatterFinland

The text reads: The academic world needs anti-racism!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Racism continues to be prevalent in our societies.

We must raise our voices against all expressions of racism and instances of racist behaviour. We urgently need to dismantle racist structures and reform racist institutions.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Today is #BiodiversityDay

Biodiversity & the ecosystem services that it sustains are essential for our well-being.

And the effects of #COVID19 remind us of the importance of nature to our lives.

Vaatevallankumousviikolla erityisesti Lidlin lenkkareiden julkaisu on herättänyt kysymyksiä halpamuodin tuotantoketjun eettisyydestä ja ekologisuudesta. Eetti ry:n teksti valaisee aihetta erittäin hyvin.

[Eetti @eetti_ry]

Selvitimme, missä oloissa Lidlin lenkkarit on valmistettu. Ruusut ja risut viuhuvat https://t.co/M1cJUQrXjP

Vaatevallankumous-viikko on alkanut!🎉 Jälleen on aika kysyä muotibrändeiltä #WhoMadeMyClothes. Tänä vuonna kiinnitämme huomiomme myös materiaalin alkuperään — #WhatsInmyClothes? 🌍Muistathan käyttää myös tägiä #Vaatevallankumous. Tästä lähtee #Vaatevallankumous2020 ❤️

”Suomen YK-nuoret tuomitsee Yhdysvaltojen presidentin Donald Trumpin päätöksen leikata Yhdysvaltojen rahoituksen Maailman terveysjärjestöltä (WHO) ja muistuttaa, että kansainvälinen yhteistyö on avainasemassa koronaviruspandemiasta selviämiseksi.” https://t.co/hud5g8gW2z
