On the sidelines of #APMCDRR2022, #AHPDisasterREADY stakeholders gathered today to celebrate achievements after the announcement of a further $50 million by Senator @MurrayWatt. @AusHumanitarian acknowledged the work of partners and how learning is informing the second phase.
80% of women in Australia have experienced sexual harassment in public. The vast majority of those experiences don’t currently get reported. The STOPIT tool allows for them to start being reported to @VictoriaPolice so that something can be done about it.
It was great to be involved with the launch of @VictoriaPolice's new STOPIT service for reporting harassment on @ptv_official today. This announcement is a huge win for us and the young people we work with. Plan International has long been advocating for a service like this.
Women and girls account for 70% of the world’s hungry. As families struggle, girls are more likely than boys to be taken out of school, and will be at risk of child, early and forced marriage, #genderbasedviolence, sexual exploitation and unwanted pregnancy
We are on the brink of a devastating global #HungerCrisis, with girls and women likely to be the hardest hit. Urgent action is needed so that we can reach more children, especially girls, and their families. See 👇 for our open letter to #G7 member states https://t.co/YffLYE3vtG
