Congratulations, @AnnelieseDodds. Hopeful that #HumanRights and #equality will be at the heart of the UK’s international development strategy and ODA.
Honoured to be appointed Minister for International Development at @FCDOGovUK & Women and Equalities at @educationgovuk. I will rebuild our development reputation in genuine partnership with the Global South to deliver economic growth, climate action, and equality in all we do.

Proud to be a signatory to this letter, welcoming the new Prime Minister & calling for #equality & #safety for #LGBTQI communities. Time to prioritise #HumanRights at home & globally. @GiveOut_Org
At a time when our LGBT communities, and particularly Trans communities, have been under attack for so long, it is important we use this time of change to reset relationships and how our communities are both talked about, and worked with. 1/3

This is a sad news, another and one of the last credible media outlets in Cambodia is coming to an end. Future Forum has worked with the Globe and we have been absolutely pleased with the quality of their work and professionalism of their staff.
It is with a heavy heart that today we announce the suspension of editorial operations at Southeast Asia Globe, taking effect at the end of September. Please take a moment to read the message from our team and how we came to this decision. southeastasiaglobe.com/goodb…

Clearly he’ll stay very much involved, but this still feels like the end of an era. An important period for #Cambodia, with massive challenges to navigate and opportunities too. #political #transition #history

Last night at the launch of Pink List #India by Anish Gawande. Wonderful to see Utkarsh Saxena, one of the petitioners - and lawyers - in the historic marriage equality case currently before India's Supreme Court. Everything crossed for the imminent decision! #LGBTQI #HumanRights
