Well this is a sight that needs to be documented for history ….

The Egyptian government must immediately lift the arbitrary travel bans and asset freezes imposed upon three directors of EIPR, a prominent Egyptian human rights organization, solely for their legitimate human rights work www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

In the US women’s healthcare continues to come under attack, over 500 hospitals have closed their labor and delivery departments since 2010, leaving most rural hospitals and more than a third of urban hospitals without obstetric care, according to a new study. #opdeatheaters 🧵

Hard reading.. even harder truths. 😔 The report Dr. Lee Mordechai has compiled online constitutes the most methodical and detailed documentation in Hebrew (there is also an English translation) of the war crimes Israel is perpetrating in Gaza www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It’s fantastic that the @eurochild-org.bsky.social report “Children’s Realities in Europe: Progress & Gaps” has gained recognition among EU decision-makers! The focus must now shift to ensuring tangible actions are taken to address the lived experiences of children. eurochild.org/resource/chi...

1 of the things I’ve advocated 4 was that money isn’t the solution, creating alternative communities was Shoutout to the Irish Rugby Club in Cairo who wanted to offer the shelter a monetary donation but let me negotiate access on the day of the week they were closed to take in&train the street kids

“Those who say things cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it” I can’t tell you how many times I was saved remembering this and how much change I have been honoured enough to be part of because I didn’t listen to all the “whys” something wouldn’t work. #CreatingPocketsOfUtipia

Wonderful point by @lauralundy.bsky.social re children also raising us … reminded me when Lilly was 5 and point blank refused to do the “which is the odd one out” exercise in a workbook.. but also it’s ok to learn from them while remembering they have the right to learn to be tolerant, empathic etc

Attending this… Horrible to learn in the uk 11% of children living with a disability and only 3.4% of children in books have a child with a disability… children need better #representation

Yikes! “The report proposes that the University implement a new civility rule that requires any speaker using University facilities to make the meaning of contested words and phrases clear to the audience,” the recommendations read.

I’m never quite sure where I stand on the exact age of criminal responsibility… but surely there should be a correlation between it and the age of consent, the age for a driving license, the age to vote? #PickNMixRules

An important read

While I was in Egypt doing my research w/ street connected girls, a journalist wrote an article in a popular national paper “Street Children, The Brazilian Solution” & proceeded to explain that Brazil was “brave” in taking “meaningful action” that maybe Egypt should consider #PoliticalByBeingVisible
