🗓️ Day 1,865 since the Taliban barred girls from attending secondary school.
Education is a basic right for all, not a privilege. I will continue speaking out until every school and university opens its doors to these girls and young women.
You are not forgotten.

Men and boys matter. The quality and consistency of care they receive matters.
Use a specialist agency - because they deserve nothing less.
The risk they live with deserves real and measured support because that risk is shared by the Agency once they tell their story @CVOCNI

UN officials, where is your action for Afghan women and girls who are banned by the Taliban from education, employment, and public life?
Afghan women don’t need trainings. They need education, real action, and internationally actions.

“Unpaid carers save society enormously, often at the expense of their own earnings, pensions and financial security. We need more than praise: we need practical support and a system that recognises the real cost of caring.”@guardian

We were delighted to attend the Volunteer Now Older Women Health Day at ABC Health & Leisure Trust Ardoyne. Thank you to the many women who stopped by to hear about our services for older women, and the hardworking team and volunteers who made the event such a success 💜

We're so glad to see this being enacted. It will make such a difference for anyone facing abuse.
The space to attend solicitor appts. Move or secure your home. Go to court. See a GP or SARC. It gives a victim dignity, support and time when they really need it.
