On Dec 6, 1989, 14 women were murdered in #Canada because they were women. 35 years later, the grief remains & so does the reality that #gender still determines who is safe, who is valued, who gets to live. We remember them. We honour them. We demand better. #December6 #EndGBV

Funding will never be enough on its own. #Partnership + #allyship + community-rooted solutions are needed to prevent #GBV Local org's solutions stick; because they come from #community. #16Days #OrangeTheWorld #EndGBV #GenderJustice #CommunityPower #CollectiveCare #SocialImpact

Global change comes from local strength. The #16DaysOfActivism remind us that prevention isn’t just about funding; it’s abt #partnership, #allyship, & community-led solutions. Frontline workers: YOU are the #16Days. #OrangeTheWorld #EndGBV #InvestToPreventVAWG #CommunityLed

#India, who we all know deserved the #AsiaCup takes it home. #Cricket,a game of #luck, is STILL won by strong #nerves, #teamwork,& CONSISTENT #performance. All of which #Pakistan CONSISTENTLY failed at. Teams shud shake hands,leave #politics out of sport. #PAKvsIND

I tune in to each #PAKvIND match, rooting for a Pk win, then its a why are we so bad?, followed by why are they so good?, & eventually feeling like 'ab tu aadat si hai mujhko' while keeping an eye on the tv praying hard for a miracle (or rain). #AsiaCupT20 #Cricket

Good news to wake up to and long due. Its the right thing to do by #Canada, for a People that hv faced historic injustices while not having a voice as a State at the UN. UN reports have found #Israel's actions in #Gaza to be #genocide, & communities are facing #famine. #Palestine

Deeply saddened by the crash of #AirIndia171. We all travel, and one can imagine the urgency around resuming work, eagerness to get back home, & sadness abt leaving family behind that immigrants carry as they fly back. Wishing courage for the families of all deceased. #planecrash

It breaks me to submit reports that no longer detail the genocide: I ask forgiveness from victims & survivors. Now I must focus on accountability—too many profit from Gaza’s destruction. My June HRC report exposes private actors. My October UNGA report will focus on States:

I stand for ALL mothers who are awake at night, with fear in their hearts, but not in their eyes because they need to be strong for their children. Or are praying for their child/ren out fighting #IndiaPakistanWar #IndianArmy #PakistanArmy #India #Pakistan

Some truths in the oceans of lies: - Nothing is worth war - No ego, slogan, or flag is worth even a single innocent life - Bravery is restraint Hold your leaders to account, stop this life robbing generations-long drama. #India #Pakistan #IndiaPakistanWar #OperationSindoor

Great speech by Pierre Poilievre. A strong opposition is crucial for a strong democratic state. #Canada stands united in the trade war the #US started. #cdnpoli #cdnelxn

#Canada needs to push #genderequality & #womenrights forward-not reverse hard earned gains. Minister of WAGE should be reinstated. Very disappointed to see this among the first moves of new liberal leadership. @liberal_party @CanadianPM #cdnpoli #SDG5

#Canada announces 25% #tariff on $155b of #US good,tariffs on $30b of goods starting Tuesday & on $125b of goods in 21 days. Tough times ahead for both Canadian and US workers & taxpayers. The most vulnerable will suffer most.
