There are local elections on Thursday.. Women, and more so global majority women, still aren’t represented in politics as they should be. Awful right?! BUT YOU CAN HELP! (hey men, I mean you too!) Do you know a woman candidate? My ask - offer to help! (1/2)

The fortnight of me focusing on the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) starts this Monday. This will be my fifth year and things have never felt more scary or fragile in terms of the rights of women and girls globally. #ForAllWomenAndGirls #CSW70
