Milei vetó lo aprobado en el Congreso: aumento a jubilaciones (afectadas x cortes en servicios sociales y públicos); reactivación de moratoria previsional (acceso al esquema jubilatorio) y la emergencia en discapacidad (necesito explicar?!).

El Salvador just fast-tracked itself into liberal authoritarianism, pushing through a constitutional reform to allow indefinite re-election, extend the presidential term, and eliminate runoffs. And just to kill regional cooperation, quit Parlacen too. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Women’s bodies are war zones in Sudan, DRC, Haiti and beyond. Yet just 10% of funding to support survivors is provided. Sexual violence in conflict is not invisible - it is ignored. Our plea to donors: don’t cut money for survivors of these cowardly, pathetic men.

The closure of UN offices and humanitarian programmes that support migration and refugee undermines protection & the human rights infrastructure that support it. It leaves millions without essential aid amidst violence and poverty. This are root causes, and will create not reduce the need to flee.

A week in El Salvador for excellent work w @cintranatalia.bsky.social Visited shelters, borders areas, and humanitarian actors x interviews & presented a report on new migration flows and challenges of regional protection. Impressed with what was said and equally inspired by what was not said.

New publication in Migration Studies! Can humanitarianism truly protect displaced women—or does it sustain the very structures that make them vulnerable? Find out here and open access of course academic.oup.com/migration/ar...

New publication announcement! here we challenge prevailing assumptions re humanitarian governance by exposing how gender-blind and gender-sensitive protection regimes often reinforce, rather than resolve, vulnerabilities faced by forcibly displaced women. academic.oup.com/migration/ar...

President Trump and right-wing politicians in Europe have railed against trans rights. Britain’s Supreme Court has now added its voice to the discussion, ruling on Wednesday that the legal definition of a woman under the country’s equality legislation is based on biological sex.

Excellent work and presence of @sotonpolitics.bsky.social convening. Thank you and sorry I missed it this year.

Glad this is out (and kudos to Afifah)! Very timely: it is argued that regional organisations can offer context-specific, equitable responses to global health emergencies ...but they must be better integrated into global governance to overcome multilateral limits. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Excelente película que no es ficción sino realidad, no solo historia sino presente (como señala la actriz), es personal y colectivo a la vez y es sobre memoria de tantos. El ángulo de madre como memoria activa y activista es una genialidad - www.pagina12.com.ar/805251-se-es...

Have no mistake, the same wealthy extremists who helped propel Trump into the White House are pumping money into UK. All those who celebrated Trump discriminating against trans and non-binary individuals need to realise it's also women's rights they're coming for. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

“USAID built a vast array of programs to help families foresee and adjust to climate shocks without migrating,” I told the @nytimes.com. Ending those programs “leaves migration as the only viable way for many families in the Western Hemisphere region to cope.”

Deporting individuals just for irregular entry is illegal and undermines due process to determine refugee status, and international principle of non-refoulement. In Venezuela political repression, economic collapse, and human rights violations continue. Returning people places them at grave risk.

⚠️ New open access publication alert ⚠️ We reflect on the situation of Venezuela women in Brazil to reflect on gendered policies in humanitarian settings and whether they are able to protect displaced women. More below, and questions/comments are welcome

Out now! A timely piece w brilliant colleagues. We offer a critique of humanitarian aid when delivered as paternalism, especially when tied to securitised migration. But recognise its role if protection centres on migrant women autonomy and meaningful inclusion journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

No es suma cero: el cierre de USAID es parte de una ofensiva más amplia: congelación de fondos, recorte de programas de salud globales, ataques y bloqueos a la comunidad de investigación e información científica. Esto afecta a millones en todo el mundo www.lavanguardia.com/internaciona...

En Argentina, una mayoría cree que el estado debería garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades pero esa mayoría es mucho más amplia entre las mujeres y la gente de mayor edad.

this is the point: Trump’s actions are particularly targeting women’s health, notably sexual and reproductive health and rights, and human rights of (forced) migrants. Solidarity, advocacy and policy coordination, including regional organisation, is a must. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

40,000 health workers in Kenya affected. 5000 Ethiopian Ministry of Health workers already laid off due to USAID closure www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/w...

Regional organisations need to step up to the so-called transactional diplomacy, which is nothing but forcing agreements that are harming rights of people, particularly migrants. www.refugeesinternational.org/statements-a...

I wrote this on the humanitarian impact of the US aid suspension in Latin America. Cuts to vital programmes risk exacerbating displacement, instability, and rights violations. A (global and regional) policy rethink is urgently needed. #Migration #HumanRights #ForeignAid cris.unu.edu/humanitarian...

🤔 Pasé años estudiando a USAID y su rol en la Guerra Fría y la política centroamericana de Reagan. Fue instrumento anticomunista y neoliberal, sí. Pero su brutal supresión anuncia algo aún peor: la distopía tecnoautoritaria ultra de Musk y Trump. Dos aportes: 🔗 📕 bit.ly/412TRZA 🔗 📝 bit.ly/3ECRZhk

Canadians have long assumed that the US would never deliberately seek to harm Canada. That assumption has been shattered.

The opposite of health sovereignty… Milei declared its intention to leave the WHO due to ‘profound differences’ in health management, and to uphold national sovereignty in health matters. The withdrawal becomes effective one year after formal notification. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Venezuela has one of the largest global refugee crises, and the largest in Latin American history because of Maduro. Of course he said he will accept people returned, he's the one they are trying to escape. This is the absolute definition of "refoulement", and illegal. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Watched The Brutalist this weekend. Brilliant film. Takes you to the intimacy of trauma without being overly dramatic. Captivating (felt the same as when reading Isabel Allende’s books)

As many migrants arrive at borders confused, exhausted, demoralised, in limbo, and with very little resources including or legal counsel, the new policy risks wrongfully sending people back to countries where they could face harm and even death. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

Greece, along with Frontex, is known to carry out illegal "pushbacks". When you have an already traumatised kid potentially being the victim of one it is unsurprising their memories will be "inconsistent". That's what trauma does. The case should at least be heard. www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...
