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

Dropping #feminist #foreignpolicy leaves a troubling gap in both vision and accountability for #Canada. I outline what this shift signals, & why it matters now, in my op-ed https://t.co/uCgjYvyNQC via @thehilltimes

A serious foreign policy must still include measurable commitments to women’s leadership, safety, economic security, political participation, and bodily autonomy.

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

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:

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

#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
Feminists organizations gathering for CSW69 working with over a 100 organizations in Canada have released a joint statement on the elimination of the Minister of WAGE. Read here: https://t.co/NFoYMNdnqO
