IDS research fellow @philipproudfoot.bsky.social is speaking at @newhumanitarian.bsky.social event on Monday 15 Sept, to discuss What should humanitarian actors do to stop the genocide in Gaza? For more info and to register, visit 👇 https://thenewhumanitarian.pulse.ly/12w8dksdqi

We need to stop this disturbing form of gender based violence and put systems in place where women of all faith can live and love without fear.

Famine in Gaza City has been officially confirmed today by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). IDS researcher Philip Proudfoot calls for the international system to act, and for “immediate, full, and unfettered” humanitarian access. https://ids.pulse.ly/p9qlfxex8g

The big ⬇️ in funding for global health means that countries need to change the way global health is organised 🌎💊 New commentary from IDS researchers Gerry Bloom and Lewis Husain, with Minghui Ren from Peking University, China 👇 https://sciencedirect.pulse.ly/cfu1zm0vh1

Earlier this June, IDS Honorary Associate and former UN Humanitarian Chief Martin Griffiths alongside IDS researcher @philipproudfoot.bsky.social also called for humanitarian law to be enforced to halt genocide and other atrocities in Gaza. 👇 www.ids.ac.uk/opinions/it-...

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

The Israeli military published new evacuation warnings for areas of central Gaza, in one of the few areas where the military has rarely operated with ground troops. www.thehindu.com/news/interna...

So glad to have been able to listen to this important discussion hosted by @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social at @ids.ac.uk and planned fantastically by @sophierobinson.bsky.social

Huge changes taking place in development right now - declines in civic space and freedoms, emergence of polycrises, failures of multilateralism and cuts in funding. What should a development-focused research and teaching institute prioritise? Please share your thoughts - survey is very quick ⬇️

All is done for votes, always. Not for welfare, you fools!

A new report by CFMM concludes that the BBC is systematically biased against Palestinians in Gaza war coverage. cfmm.org.uk/bbc-on-gaza-...

It is high time that the world sees what's happening in Gaza for what it is! www.ids.ac.uk/opinions/it-...

The government's anti-immigration stance will make it harder to tackle challenges at home + abroad says @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social https://researchprofessionalnews.pulse.ly/1zv7yr07qd @resprofnews.bsky.social

"Postgraduate development studies for students of one nation would be a nonsense." IDS Director @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social talks about the discriminatory anti-immigration rules introduced by the Starmer government. 👇 www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

On the 77th anniversary of the #Nakba, Gaza is facing famine and mass displacement. IDS researchers warn of a deliberate humanitarian collapse and call for urgent global action. 👇 https://ac.pulse.ly/iyefxkvygt

Brilliant analysis by my colleague @jigyasa.bsky.social on how the Indian government weaponised gender norms to help justify military strikes against Pakistan @ids.ac.uk

The use of feminist liberal language has become a new tool by right wing governments to morally justify military actions. #operationsindoor www.ids.ac.uk/opinions/the...

@ids.ac.uk Director @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social joined today's Prime Time show on India Today with Rajdeep Sardesai to discuss Trump's war on #tariffs 👇 www.youtube.com/live/wIW4hVk...

What dystopian times. War criminal #Netanyahu's main allies in Europe are far-right (& antisemitic) leaders like #Orban Yet no condemnation from @ec.europa.eu @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu. #Hungary is still officially part of the #ICC despite 'intention to exit' www.reuters.com/world/hungar...

The Trump administration moved forward with the sale of over 20,000 assault rifles to Israel last month. This deal was delayed by Biden administration over concerns of use by extremist Israeli settlers. Send arms and kill people should be America's new slogan www.reuters.com/world/middle...

@amritasaha.bsky.social on how Trump's 'reciprocal tariffs' will cause a major upheaval in global trade and damage development 👇

IDS Director @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social talks about how the UK will “suffer the consequences” of not having the knowledge and evidence garnered by overseas development research if budget cuts spell the end of funding. 👇 #ODA

At a time of decreasing resources, it is devastating to see that 20% of the entire UK’s #ODA budget was spent on housing refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. As the Bond statement below states, ODA budget is essential to tackle global issues. 👇 www.bond.org.uk/press-releas...

A really cool conversation between two very differently positioned members of the global development research community on the challenges in the promotion of more equitable research for global change. - by @bloggs74.bsky.social and Suraj Jacob

Five years since #Covid-19 lockdown announcement, new IDS research shows how the grassroots initiatives that emerged during the pandemic filled in the gaps left by failing welfare and food systems and insists on remembering the lessons learned from the pandemic 👇 www.ids.ac.uk/news/communi...

This gross violation, utter lack of human life and barbarous crimes! Who is really holding Israel accountable now? Does the world have no power anymore?

So proud to be at @ids.ac.uk and celebrating its achievement of being No. 1 in the world for Development Studies for the 9th year in the running!!

The International Development Minister has resigned over the #UKaid budget cut. Anneliese Dodds knows just how devastating the ODA cut will be to the poorest people in the world and how damaging it is for the UK’s global reputation, and its security. www.ids.ac.uk/news/devasta... @ids.ac.uk

International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds has resigned over the prime minister's cuts to the aid budget. It's all gettting very bleak. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Do you though?

There are more than 476 million indigenous people in the world. They don't have equal opportunities. But they lead on protecting the environment. Research shows that where indigenous groups have control of the land, forests and biodiversity flourish.

@petertaylor-uk.bsky.social on UK aid cut: "Now more than ever, we need to double down on support for the poorest & most vulnerable in the world, to tackle shared global challenges of climate change and deadly diseases, and secure the value of aid as a vital tool for diplomacy & global influence."

Starmer doing what he does...following, not leading

Starmer hikes defence spending to 2.5% ahead of crunch meeting with Trump

What an unbelievably bad decision

More cuts to International aid when the world has not even recovered from USAID freeze. Where do we go from here? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

I am tempted to say "Mera desh badal raha hai" but I'm too pessimistic with the current wave in the country. However, something to be hopeful about.
