🚨 Call for inputs 🚨 For my next report to the United Nations, I am looking for inputs on the challenges faced by woman human rights defenders working in conflict, post-conflict or crisis-affected settings. 🗓️ Deadline: 22 May 2023 More information here 👇 ohchr.org/en/calls-for-i…

We talk a lot about funding national & sub-national orgs...but how has all that chat played out in #humanitarian contexts? How have pooled funds risen to the challenge? Daria Chekalova, Brianna Guidorzi Carina Chicet talk to @kristycrabtree to answer soundcloud.com/user-425988972… #EndGBV

We live in far too complex a world for our options to be simply thumbs up OR thumbs down. Where's the reply for "wow, that was really a mixed bag of a text"?

A lot of analysis written on Afghanistan lately feels like it name checks women’s rts violations in passing, then moves on. If ending erasure of half the population doesn’t feel like an urgent priority to an analyst, their bias is evident & analysis should be read accordingly.

This little corner of #DC is clear - No Asylum Ban. #NoAsylumBan #AsylumIsAHumanRight rescue.org/article/what-p…

Gr8 to finally see the confirmation of Dr. Geeta Rao Gupta. As someone who cares deeply about the work of The Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues, thank you to Senior Official Kat Fotovat, who led the office for a long while & pushed USG forward on critical strategies & policies for women & girls around the globe.

Tina Turner got me through a lot of workout classes with incredible songs & the thought “if Tina can dance around in heals to this, you can finish this d*mn spin class!” Her singular voice, longevity. that she was a survivor…they all made her an icon. #SimplyTheBest

Deeply niche humanitarian post but UN Humanitarian’s Financial Tracking Service has significantly deepened its capacity on tracking sector-specific funding - allowing folks to see what is being prioritized (& NOT prioritized) & make better decisions. And it’s super exciting to see!

GBV responders in #Gaza have been doing everything they can to save lives & respond, including checking in with those outside Gaza. Their phones have now gone quiet. Gaza needs an immediate ceasefire, unhindered access for humanitarian aid, & connectivity restored.

I’ve loved every visit to see our #pandas, every vote to name them, every watch when a new one might be born/has been born. We’ll miss you DC pandas and we hope we see some again soon.

Please don’t let Gazans - and the people who are working to try and provide life-saving aid in #Gaza - slip from your consciousness. There may be fewer headlines, but the realities are still horrific. rescue.org/press-release/…

“I have been 1 of the really privileged few that could do what I thought needed doing;” a statement of purpose & gratitude I hope to make when reflecting on my career. Thanks 4 fighting 4 abortion still, Cecile Richards. Wishing you good health & many years with your grandchild!

2024 must be a better, safer year for children. Read the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian in Humanitarian Action’s analysis of 2023, and hopes for 2024 here: alliancecpha.org/en/TheUnprotec… #ChildProtection

Big congratulations to my IRC - International Rescue Committee colleagues who work on Signpost, an innovative way to ensure refugees & asylees can access accurate info, including those in our Protection units who have been Signposters from the beginning! #informationisahumanright rescue.org/uk/press-relea…

The incredible @kristycrabtree is not only a humanitarian; she’s also a published short-story author!!! Check out her TWO pieces here: parenthesesjournal.com/issue-15/there…

Our new report about conflict & gender-based violence in eastern DRC. Abdullahi Halakhe & I traveled there earlier this year. The # of women we met with who were survivors of GBV was astonishing. I have been doing this for a long time & the rates of GBV are some of the worst I have seen.

My work teaches me daily about the power of humility & deep listening ⭐ Women-led organizations, with their deep community ties, are 🗝️ to effective responses. Supporting these leaders means giving them trust and space, not just funds. Learn why from UN Humanitarian Gender Unit Chief
