Of the #women and girls who’ve fled #Ukraine , First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy Yulia Svyrydenko says “we need them for reconstruction and recovery…we need to create the favourable conditions to incentivise them to come back” #IWD

On #InternationalWomensDay award-winning actress and advocate Nazanin Boniadi is calling for an extension of the UN’s fact-finding mission in #Iran and details Amnesty International’s latest report on women’s rights in #Iran . Of the situation in her homeland she says, “it breaks my heart”.
