The future of Syria will depend on the women of Syria.   Their role in rebuilding their country is vital. Our confidence in potential partnership depends on their leadership of it. 
Rayan, Alya, Zainab, Jamila, Heba must be heard. Their courage and dignity must be recognised.

Some Syrian friends in Beirut already on road to Damascus. No one ever wants to be a refugee, live in a foreign land, close or far but no one wants to live under murderous regime, risk prison or death. Friends in Damascus reporting celebrations on streets. It's 5.30 am there.

There are 50,000 pregnant Palestinian women in besieged Gaza - with 4,000 Palestinian babies expected to be delivered this month - and 'approximately 15,000 of them are likely to be on the verge of famine,' says UN Population Fund. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/wwec3t

RT @UNLazzarini: Wars always impact the most vulnerable first and most. At least 70 per cent of those killed in the war in #Gaza are women…

In Adre today, on Chad/Sudan border. Dire conditions here. Victims of conflict, sexual violence, extreme hunger. And international neglect. They are us. We need to end the era of indifference. I refuse to believe that we cannot do better.

"…Israeli and Palestinian lawyers and activists behind this initiative @2States1Homelan… are doing something rather remarkable. They seem to have pinned down not just a visionary but also a practical equation for achieving a just and lasting peace to the Middle East conflict.” - @Raad_Zeid In light of this, watch our interview with A Land For All leaders May Pundak and @OmarMDajani exploring their innovative "two states, one homeland" confederal vision for peace ⬇️ ipinst.org/2024/09/daniel-le…

Pregnancy & childbirth don't stop in times of crisis. In #Sudan, 80% of hospitals are closed & 2 out of 3 people don't have access to health services. These mothers and their newborns deserve & require high quality care immediately. #BornintoCrisis reliefweb.int/report/sudan/o…

“The needs in S. Darfur are enormous. Women & their newborns are dying because they can't reach healthcare facilities in time or there are no facilities. We need more actors to come & support the health system.” - Gillian Burkhardt, @MSF Medical Activity Manager #TalkAboutSudan

A timely report by @msf on devastating impact of war in #Sudan on women &children. Women are at risk of dying including from unsafe abortions as they try to manage unwanted pregancies from #sexualviolence. The war must end! #KeepEyesOnSudan #UNGA @FCDOGovUK @USAmbUN @swiss_un

Multiple health emergencies are unfolding with little international response in South Darfur, Sudan. Newborns, pregnant women, and new mothers are dying in alarming numbers—many from preventable causes as systems collapse. Read our report for more: msf.org/sudan-pregnant-women…

Very excited to launch the free online University of Dyslexic Thinking, in partnership with charity @MadeByDyslexia, to teach the world’s most sought-after skills: virg.in/4dk0c63 #Dyslexia #University #Learning #DyslexicThinking

Proud to be ⁦@MadeByDyslexia⁩! ⁦@richardbranson⁩ an inspiration for us all. Thank you.

The speech by @raad_zeid contained a wisdom and perspective that delegations to the UN need to hear more often so that they can insist the organization learn from its hard-won lessons. The final paragraph is 🔥 “the Security Council, and particularly its Permanent Members, selects the Secretary-General (while the General Assembly appoints them); the Council is therefore duty-bound to trust the Secretary-General and in the latter’s impartial and good judgement, when speaking of matters relating to peace and security.  If you believe the Secretary-General is capable of it, then respect his abilities accordingly, mandate and send him, listen to him and then respond to the crisis accordingly.”

Women in countries affected by #conflict are 3x more likely to go w/o a skilled birth attendant & 3x more likely to give birth outside of a health facility - heightening the risk of poor maternal and newborn health outcomes. #BornIntoCrisis @save_children telegraph.co.uk/global-healt…
