International humanitarian law prohibits in any war, also against terrorism, all indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks.
Parties are bound to exercise precaution, proportionality and distinction between combatants and civilians:

Congratulations #NargesMohammadi, a courageous defender of Iranian women, on receiving this year’s @NobelPrize. I hope this award further invigorates her campaign and elevates the voices of all Iranian women protesting against a repressive regime.

Canada stepping up to play a role on the global stage in the fight for universal human rights is an essential leadership moment. @equality_fund @GAC_Corporate

Human rights are the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.
But, they are also under attack.
Today, our government is launching our bid for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council. We will continue our work to defend human rights, at home and abroad.

I believe this is a game changer. I’m incredibly proud of the brilliant team @equality_fund that made this happen. When all sources of money are channeled through a feminist lens- philanthropy, grant making investment capital- we accelerate impact and progress towards equality

It’s time to move investments directly to women, girls, and trans people so they can build their own sustainable and scalable futures. We are thrilled to launch Equality Fund's Toolkit for Gender-Lens Investment. Download it here buff.ly/3G0t9pL

Canada has placed a bet on the feminist approach. Like with any transformative change it takes time, resources, resolve, courage and steadfast vision. The world is watching and Canada’s leadership is needed now more than ever. My thoughts 👇

Since 2017, Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy has served as a beacon of hope and ambitious leadership. A report from the Auditor General affirms its urgent need while calling for improved systems to capture and share its growing impact. buff.ly/3JNEUkf

Warm and welcome discussions about how to fund feminist movements at scale. Many levers for change- many feminists building ambitious solutions. Thank you @AmyBakerCAN for bringing us together and @odelphine for your leadership. 🇫🇷 🇨🇦 🌎
23 Mar 2023
A discussion that would benefit all to hear is one between @odelphine & @EqualityFund’s @JesTomlin. Challenges abound but so do results when we support #feminist initiatives that make #GenderEquality real, such as our 🇨🇦🇫🇷 participation in the Alliance for Feminist Movements.
