On the day new data is out on famine in #GAZA, the Israeli Authorities deny my entry to Gaza. -Famine is imminent in the northern Gaza Strip, expected to arrive between now and May. - Two million people= the entire population of Gaza is facing crisis levels of food insecurity

Structural racism and sexism continue to bar access to health, empowerment and autonomy for women and girls of ethnic and racial minorities. Join UNFPA to #FightRacism every day and build a stronger future for us all: unf.pa/erd #GlobalGoals

Disgraceful police violence against women protestors. These men are out of control. Nothing justifies this aggression, let alone a peace protest.

Kudos to Kiehl's Since 1851 for this campaign. Aggressively marketing adult skincare to young girls online is not cool. I’m looking at you Drunk Elephant Sephora

Women and girls in #Rafah are in a state of constant despair and fear already. A ground invasion would be an unbearable escalation. We must protect civilians and stop the suffering. The need for peace has never been more urgent. unwomen.org/en/news-storie…
