A step forward for #Myanmar crisis to be put back on the govts priority list! This is one of the least funded responses globally and a forgotten regional crisis.
More states need to follow in the footsteps of @govsingapore ‼️
Singapore welcomes the @UN Security Council’s adoption of its 1st resolution on the situation in Myanmar on 21 December 2022. (1/3)
Half a million of those reached by @CARE in #Afghanistan are women. This decision does not only limit the right to #employment for women aid workers, it limits assistance to women.
#Afghanistan: CARE is deeply concerned by the announcement that Afghan women are prohibited from working for NGOs. W/o women aid workers, NGOs may not be able to reach women, girls, & families, cutting access to aid for half of a population already suffering from a hunger crisis.

1 of 2: "This decision is not about #humanitarian group, @CARE or NGOs, it is about the millions of #Afghans who are in need of assistance, the women & girls who urgently need help"
Great talking to @LailaHarrak on #Afghanistan @CNN

"The situation is urgent,it is a critical #humanitarian crisis. Please give us the ability to deliver to our mandate which is providing #humanitarian services with independence, with impartiality, with neutrality"

Women banned from working in national & international civil society organisations.
A chilling decision of unprecedented impact. The Taliban's latest ban on women's right to work is a breach of humanitarian principles and condemns Afghans to further and deepening crisis.

At the #GRF session thinking out loud. Can we:

- have centrality of protection mainstreamed across the next #GRF
- set up stronger and more robust monitoring systems and indicators?
Let’s see what next year’s #GRF brings @UNHCRAsia
It is happening! Moderating the first #DRR #GESI #GENDER event at the #rhpw2022 event to explore the challenges and solutions for integrating #gender in #anticipatoryaction across #asia w/ colleagues from @unwomenasia @WFPAsiaPacific @ECHO_Asia

Rania*, teacher at our #education centre in #Azraq camp believes her role is more than teaching. “It’s a big responsibility, some of my students missed beautiful moments in their life due to #war,” So imagine her joy when they receive the education they deserve

We're responding to the cholera outbreak in Syria, where children's lives are at risk. Girls & boys already forced from their homes are worst affected. We continue to provide emergency water, sanitation & health supplies but more help is urgently needed. wvi.org/newsroom/syria-crisi…
