1 in 3 women worldwide has experienced intimate partner violence. Policymakers are looking for ways to prevent & respond to #IPV: can a combination of business training & psychosocial therapy be effective? See findings from @DavidSunghoPark @nkumar_econ: j-p.al/rpq

#DSE watchman Ved Prakash, SpO2 is 35%, needs an oxygen cylinder asap.
His address is C-82 Reids Line (opposite Miranda House).
Phone: 8587803905 (Sonu - son)
If anyone can arrange a cylinder or a hospital bed it would be great.

I don’t know what to say. How to express the feeling of not being able to help the ppl back home in India? What do I say to my friends, family and anyone who ever needed help to survive in these times that I was busy with my research understanding ppl’s decision making!

If we’re going to take big, ambitious shots at education reform, we need to invest in proper evaluations to generate truly objective evidence. And we need the courage to rise above the hype when the results are not what we want to hear. - @Fihi_maFihi ow.ly/SmvT30mSAEr
