RT @NasimiShabnam: The Taliban have CANCELLED previous divorces in Afghanistan, and BAN women from divorcing.
Women who divorced before the Taliban takeover, mostly due to abuse, may now be labeled as adulterers & face imprisonment and violent punishment.
Horrifying!

This is great news for our planet!
RT @ZacGoldsmith: This really is a historic moment. The Ocean covers two-thirds of the planet, provides half the oxygen we breath, absorbs vast amounts of CO2 & provides food for billions.
This Treaty will mean much greater protection.

#CSW67 is the global conference for women.
Globally millions of women & girls have no access to sexual health services or contraception.
All UK parliamentary delegates to #CSW67 agree.
We must prioritise & uphold sexual health & reproductive rights.

I joined @TearfundAct to launch their #RubbishCampaign.
2 billion people have no safe way to dispose of rubbish, many are forced to dump or burn it.
Making people sick, releasing toxic fumes, flooding communities, causing up to a million deaths a year & damaging environment.
