Enjoyed a fruitful discussion with Malsha Kumaranatunge, Anuki Premachandra & Lakmini Jayathilake on the possibility of increasing accessibility & enhancing prod efficiency of sanitary napkins for #lka citizens. I hope that we can increase domestic production & further enhance accessibility for the people.

The gendered impact of the #LKA economic crisis has disproportionately affected women and girls, from deteriorated menstrual hygiene to girls being pushed to drop out of school due to unaffordability. My gut feeling is that we are yet to see the brunt of it.

6.2 million Sri Lankans are suffering from food insecurity due to the mismanagement by Gotabaya Rajapaksa & Mahinda Rajapaksa, but that's not going to stop them from throwing an extravagant birthday for a little Rajapaksa. What was the cost of this birthday Namal Rajapaksa? #LKA #SriLanka

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? Women leaders are vastly outnumbered #COP29Baku – as usual. Only 8 of the 78 world leaders at #COP29Baku are women. They lead on the front lines of climate crises, yet they’re not represented at the decision-making tables. Press at bit.ly/PWLCOP29

Inspiring to hear from survivors and activists at our reception to mark #16DaysofActivism. Alongside @jessphilips and ministers across government, I’m committed to our mission of halving violence against women and girls. Everyone deserves to live in a world free from violence.
