"In Russia, maternal grief has been a particularly powerful, iconic force, tracing back to World War II...But...veneration of the mothers started to backfire during the occupation of Afghanistan....Grozny" my OPED in @USATODAY with Ambassador @SwaneeHuntnews.yahoo.com/russian-moms-…
"By sending all-male delegations to sit across from all-male Talibs & sidelining women among the visitors, the global community implies tolerance of girls disappearing from schoolrooms and women missing from offices."
Spot on @SwaneeHunt & @FroghWazhma!

Including women in conversations about Afghanistan’s future is complicated, physically risky, and culturally fraught — and it’s essential, write @SwaneeHunt and @FroghWazhma. trib.al/tQwmaLA
🎧 Today, @SwaneeHunt joins us to discuss the seismic shift that takes place when women lead during crises. The results don't lie - countries led by women have been safer during Covid-19.

Dear #GenerationEquality,

2 steps forward, 10 steps back. A peace process is an exercise in learning. Six women in my office depicted polarization & emotion they saw in #Colombian negotiations. First 5 yrs are the most difficult; most peace agreements fail. @GenderatState @InclusvSecurity@OAS_official
It’s not a wave, it’s a #SeismicShift! Mexico felt a rumble that’s reshaping the global number of women in politics & policy-making. Female leaders are key to decision making & I look forward to watching #GenderParity advance in #Mexico &beyond @UN_Women@InclusvSecurity@CFR_WFP
Mexico’s new feminist foreign policy aims for equal pay and “the application of a gender lens to every foreign-policy position, resolution, and mandate” by 2024.

Staggering statistic from the Council on Foreign Relations: Since women are more than 1/2 the global population, gov’ts should reflect that proportion. In a tiny number of countries, there’s been a #SeismicShift of women in politics, but there’s more & more & then more to do
Only 4 out of 193 countries have at least 50% women in their national legislature. Learn more from @CFR_WFP’s new Women’s Power Index, which visualizes the gender gap in political representation: cfr.org/womenspowerindex
