25 Nov marked the beginning of #16DaysOfActivism to campaign against #GenderBasedViolence. I was honoured to attend the local launch by Vanuatu Police Force with Max Willis and Jean-Baptiste Jeangène Vilmer. Violence against women and girls happens everywhere, enough is enough #NoExcuse
With thanks to Jean-Baptiste Jeangène Vilmer for sharing updates. There were 4 diplomatic missions in this building:🇺🇸 on the left ground floor, 🇫🇷 on the 1st, 🇬🇧 on the 2nd left and 🇳🇿 on the 3rd. The left part collapsed by one floor, crushing 🇺🇸 floor. All staff evacuated and ok.
UK is supporting the response to the #earthquake in #Vanuatu, which has affected about 80,000 people. We're contributing life-saving aid through CERF - The UN's emergency fund and vital hygiene and shelter kits arrived today through our partnership with Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 🇦🇺
The UK is providing £400,000 to UNICEF Pacific to restore education for children in #Vanuatu after the earthquake: ✅ Safe learning spaces ✅ Teaching & learning materials ✅ Support for school communities We’re pleased to partner with UNICEF to help Vanuatu rebuild. 🇬🇧 🤝🇻🇺
Following December’s devastating earthquake, we have no office building but that didn't stop Jean-Baptiste Jeangène Vilmer and I flying the Ukraine flag to show solidarity to the government and people of Ukraine. Our security in Europe is inseparable from Ukraine’s security. 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇫🇷
