Thank you to the men who have spoken out for womens rights at #UNGA.
Madeline Albright said “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women.”
I think there is also a special place in heaven for men who support women.
Inspiring evening at Alliance for Feminist Movements’ launch shining a spotlight on the important work of women’s rights orgs and movements.
UK is proud to be a member & work with Canada Netherlands + others to achieve more for these groups. #AllianceForFeministMovements

The Ukrainians are defending our values and the freedom of the whole world. We will not rest until Ukraine prevails.
