Nicole McKee says she directly advised a government Minister in 2017 to close the loophole used by the Christchurch terrorist. But we've obtained documents which tell a different story.

One of those moments when I appreciate being in academia....learning from young colleagues is the best!
HUC co-hosted a session at #ICSD2024 on the role of indigenous knowledge in sustaining food security and nutrition. Co-chaired by @ChubamenlaJamir , Co-Lead of HUC’s TWG Mountain Food Security, and @NazmunRatna, the session showcased excellent research from Mountain&Hill regions.

"Incorporating a gender lens in climate projects is not only about equity, it is also about effectiveness. Evidence shows that climate investments can be more cost-effective with a gender lens"

Interesting read....possibly it would be interesting to talk to academics across disciplines. Intersectionality is crucial. – at Selwyn District, New Zealand

It was an amazing workshop to attend on nutrition of hill and mountain communities, igniting a lamp for future discussions on understanding and addressing nutritional security on deeper levels

Around 43% of the agricultural labor force are women, and in some countries, they make up 2 in 3 workers. On #InternationalWomensDay, I hope everyone can take time to learn about the work our partners at @CGIAR are doing to help women and it's importance. cgiar.org/news-events/event/…
WOW... Humbled, indeed. @ChubamenlaJamir invited me to an online workshop in late 2021 and continued to engage via research and engagement. After a few conference papers, one poster and two organized sessions, we met in person for the first time in October 2023! More to come.... – at Selwyn District, New Zealand
On the occasion of #WomensDay2024 , I Thank and Wish all the wonderful women who have inspired me or worked with me. @NazmunRatna @EmbersonL @SarahWest_SEI @aditimukherji @RupaMukerji @DollyKikon @asmalateef @trinidad1949 @Agnes_Kalibata @ChefManisha @fawziat @Hekani @JamwalNidhi @GunjanGoela1 @CharviKapoor4 @roopam_shukla @AdeBruin_wur @schipper_lisa @marionnestle @KHayhoe @migdaliadrums @GarimaS46761689 @Yaoreiphy @haripriya285 and many more…

umm...note to CNN...a "chaotic incident" is college kids storming a basketball court, not a massacre at a food line...

Pakistan ranks 142 out of 146 in the Gender Gap Index. Women train as engineers but cannot move in or up. Women's networks help.

I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.
I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

We wouldn’t have the Loss and Damage funds without Saleem bhai’s research and activism. So shocked that he’s gone. We really needed him now.

Women in academia: More likely to leave, feel pushed out & cite "workplace climate" - as compared to men

Study (N=7,195) finds compared to men, women have 44% higher odds of being pushed out of academia due to workplace atmosphere than pulled to a better opportunity elsewhere. Even after receiving tenure, women were still at increased risk of leaving.
