Lots of chatter about the @NetflixUK show "Adolescence" driving 🌍 conversations about violence ~ but is it "more than talk"? 🆕 review out in WBRO suggests yes: Of 21 rigorous studies, 64-71% show promising impacts on attitudes, norms & behaviors https://t.co/D48ubOQHPt

I know nuance breaks our brains these days but we need to be serious about this "forecast." Africa will not simply roll over and die without USAID. All this shock-inducing statistical narrative does is reinforce the very American-centrism that led to this mess in the first place
STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost *14M* lives thru 2030. https://t.co/AFVhYRKvcQ

When the killing & maiming of children ceases to shock, we are no longer witnessing a tragedy, we are complicit in it.
“I still have shrapnel inside my body that they couldn’t remove.” Abed Al Rahman, 13, recounts to UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder what happened at an aid distribution point in Gaza. Humanitarian aid must be delivered with neutrality, independence and impartiality.
