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.

During 2023 and 2024 delegates from governments around the world are meeting to discuss a global treaty on #PlasticPollution. 🌎

Tearfund are asking them not to throw away this opportunity!

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.

We will support them for as long as it takes.

RT @JoAnneNadler: Absolutely superb from @KemiBadenoch This should be played in schools to explain the importance of being able to defend a position based on principle rather than emotion. A proper use of Equalities Act and of classic Liberal values we must reclaim.
