Here's a glimpse of Day 1 of our workshop with our partners from #dRPC and Data Pop Alliance led by @michalkojanv.bsky.social. Joined by experts to deepen analyses of ongoing research on #onlineviolence against women in politics in #Nigeria and #Brazil. #gendernorms #genderjustice #TFGBV

🚨Working with @megandaigle.bsky.social & Leen we combined @aligngender.bsky.social expertise on norms & @odi.global expertise on #humanitarian protection to make a clear case for continued & improved gender analysis at this dangerous political moment of anti-gender mobilizations & aid cuts. More 👇

💡Observing #HRC59 was a very insightful experience. Helped me understand better how diplomats try to navigate anti #gender politics, funding cuts to the UN, & crisis of international #humanrights law. Many 🙏 to all who helped us in this phase of our @odi.global research as we move on to the next!

Yesterday, at the #HumanRightsCouncil our @odi.global experts @michalkojanv.bsky.social & Ayesha Khan saw firsthand how UN members are working to hold the line on gender equality norms amid growing backlash. To know more about what's happening at the #UN, read our paper 🖇️ tinyurl.com/vcwyv24f

It's kinda concerning that Ofcom, who we rely on to regulate internet companies in the UK, have published this. The only way we have overestimated the risk of the manosphere, is if we have underestimated the risk of patriarchal norms in society more broadly... www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

🚨 URGENT! Conversion practices aim to change or suppress who LGBTQ+ people are. They’re harmful, degrading, and condemned as torture by the UN. The EU must act! Sign the ECI to ban them across Europe and share the link! ✍🏻 eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

🌍How can we protect hard-won human rights norms from anti-gender actors working to undermine decades of progress? Today, the #INTGenderChampions Secretariat partnered with ODI Global to convene a high-level workshop to discuss how to better understand norm-spoiling at the Council.

Last year, Billy Holzberg, @aikoiiris.bsky.social, and I spoke with the team from the podcast "Feminism, Fascism and the Future" about our book. The episode is out 🤩 Tune in to learn more about the volume’s “origin story” and its key takeaways open.spotify.com/episode/7IYL...

📢 Do you work w/ political parties on gender equality in politics? 🫵 Then we want to speak to you for our @aligngender.bsky.social study on parties' responses to #tech facilitated #GBV. We want to learn from practitioners & academics so DM me for more info www.alignplatform.org/political-pa...

Sorry to interupt our current horrors, but I am delighted to see Dave's and my latest paper out in POQ today! doi.org/10.1093/poq/... tl;dr: When (Republican) adolescents are exposed to women candidates, they become more positive about women as political leaders. Adults, otoh, don't budge. 🧵

NEW: Men and women belonging to Gen Z are more divided than those of any other generation on key questions about feminism, gender roles and women’s rights Read our new 30-country study with @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social for #IWD2025: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/gen-z-m... 🧵⬇️

In a few hours I'll have the privilege to engage in conversation w/ feminist practitioners & researchers to discuss #Feminist #Funding. Join us to take stock of recent cuts & impacts on movements & evidence why feminist movements matter for equality & democracy us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

In Memoriam Mala Htun (1969-2025) Mala Htun made a major impact on the study of women, gender, and politics as a scholar, teacher, mentor, and advocate. To honor her contributions, we have ungated access to her articles until the end of February 2025. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

With the #GlobalGagRule back & cuts to European ODA looming in 2025, now is NOT the time to abandon SRHR funding. People's dignity & bodily autonomy are at stake. Europe must step up for global solidarity & human rights! 🌍✊👇

In the piece, we discuss how groups opposing gender-affirming care have used the Cass report to relativise the evidence around suicide while advocating for harmful restrictions or banning access to this vital care. The report and its political misuses have had a damaging impact in Chile 👇

Great campaign by @whiteribbon.bsky.social-launched a new series of educational videos to support the education sector & address the latest & most pressing forms of GBV and discrimination in our communities. These videos are available in English and French. Visit lnkd.in/gfdfU34G to watch them all!

We are alarmed by the #Meta moderation policy changes announced yesterday, allowing dehumanising language targeting #LGBTI people. This threatens safety and dignity. We urge the EU to enforce the Digital Services Act to combat hate speech and misinformation. Hatred has no place online or anywhere.

As the forces of populism and isolationism deepen global divides, the need for collective leadership has never been greater. At Davos 2025, we will hear from a group of inspiring sectoral leaders as they lay out joined up solutions to the world's toughest global challenges. https://buff.ly/4jahwyd
