As I chaired the #climate panel for the Commonwealth Asia session today a fun anecdote that few know about the Benazir Income Support Programme came to mind as a UN rep asked how one begins the long mile to “ leaving no one behind”. It begins by empowering #women...

My take on 53rd meeting of Human Rights in UN commission: On June 19th, the 53rd session of the United Nations took place, addressing the current humanitarian and political situation in Afghanistan with a specific focus on the status of women. During the two-hour session, over 24 UN members expressed their apprehensions regarding the situation faced by women in Afghanistan. They called for decisive measures and commitments to enforce human rights, including the persecution of women and girls' rights to education, employment, and freedom of movement. As an Afghan individual who has lived in exile for nearly a generation, I find great satisfaction and empowerment in witnessing that, in this particular session, women were given the opportunity to express their observations, emotions, and experiences. They also provided suggestions on how to engage and bring about change in the face of an imposed reality and identity that is alien to them as women. However, what deeply concerns me, as well as many Afghan women, are the emotionally charged and unethical speeches that are delivered under the guise of ethnicity. It is crucial to understand that the Taliban does not have a preference or favoritism towards any particular group. Today, women from all backgrounds, irrespective of their language, religious beliefs, color, or ethnicity, find themselves abandoned by a group that does not believe in the principles of "rights," a progressive society, or individual and national identity. When we are faced with such group of alien thoughts and practices it is worth to stick with more profound unity & respect toward each other. I refrain to share the video of Ms Sitareh Mohammadi but the way she imposed the prosecution of our Hazaras on Pashtuns was un ethical and I call up on her to respect code of conduct when she further takes part in such broadcasts. The suffering that Hazaras have faced is undeniable, however this must not lead some to discriminate & speak false about Pashtuns. WE ALL ARE EQUALLY ABANDONED! The sooner we know the faster & serious world will take us. Thank you Forozan Rasooli 🇦🇫 for bringing the true picture of Afghan women & espcially Matiullah Wesa مطيع الله ويسا detention in to notice. United Nations Sitarah Moh

I have always been a firm advocate for women's inclusion in governance and decision-making. My commitment to gender equality is unwavering because I believe that a society thrives when women are actively involved in shaping policies and leading initiatives. It is imperative that we take legislative action to secure women's participation in politics. One of the key steps toward this goal is mandating that party delegate selections include women, this is not just about fairness; it is about ensuring that the voices of half our population are heard in leadership spaces. Beyond policy discussions, I have consistently highlighted the challenges women face within governmental structures. Many women in leadership positions hesitate to speak up, often out of fear or societal pressure. This must change. We need structural reforms, including the creation of special seats for women and the enforcement of laws that guarantee at least 35% representation in governance. We must break down entrenched gender stereotypes and cultural barriers that have kept women on the sidelines for too long. At the 69th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), global leaders—including UN Secretary-General António Guterres—reaffirmed the need for more women in leadership. The UN has made significant strides in achieving gender parity among senior leadership by expanding the search for qualified women, proving that when given the opportunity, women lead with excellence and impact. My participation in the Nigeria Women’s Day event at CSW69 is yet another step in my relentless advocacy for gender equality. The fight for inclusion is not just about women—it is about building a more just and prosperous society for all. I will continue to push for systemic change, and I encourage every Nigerian woman to take up space, raise her voice, and claim her rightful place in governance. Together, we can make a difference, not just in Nigeria but on the global stage. Ireti Kingibe, Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)

FAKE FEMINISTS: Women's org celebrates man for International Women's Day You know, Canada used to produce real feminists. Women who actually fought for women. Women who risked their reputations, their safety, and sometimes even their freedom to win basic rights that seem obvious today. One of the most prominent examples of that fight happened right here in Canada with a group known as the “Famous Five.” In the 1920s, Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Edwards, Louise McKinney and Irene Parlby took on the Canadian government over a simple but outrageous question: Were women legally considered “persons”? Yes. That was the actual legal question. At the time, women could not sit in the Senate because the law only allowed “qualified persons.” And according to the courts, that word did not include women. So, the Famous Five challenged the system. They fought their case all the way to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain and in 1929 they won the historic Persons Case, which affirmed that women were indeed persons under the law. It was a foundational victory for women’s political rights in Canada. Their legacy is supposed to be about defending women as a distinct class with their own rights and interests. Which makes what just happened in Ottawa so astonishing. Because the Famous Five Foundation — the organization that claims to carry on the legacy of those women — has decided to honour a biological man. Not just any man. A man who has openly advocated for silencing women who defend women-only spaces. His name is Fae Johnstone, a prominent activist in Canada’s trans lobby. Through organizations like Queer Momentum and Wisdom2Action, groups that together receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in public and institutional funding, he has built a professional advocacy career pushing gender ideology into Canadian institutions and fighting against parents' rights. That advocacy often comes with a very clear message to women: fall in line or be shut up — or worse. Women who question whether female-only spaces, sports, shelters or prisons should remain female-only are routinely labelled hateful, bigoted or dangerous by activists in this movement and by Johnstone more specifically. In other words, women who try to defend the very rights that the Famous Five fought to establish are treated like enemies. And yet, somehow, the Famous Five Foundation in Ottawa decided this was the person worthy of recognition as part of International Women's Day. Think about the absurdity of that for a moment. The women who fought to have women recognized as persons are now being invoked to celebrate a man who believes womanhood is simply a matter of personal identification. A movement that once fought to define women as a legal and biological reality is now apparently comfortable honouring someone who insists those boundaries don’t exist at all. And this isn’t the first time institutions have tried to sell Canadians this idea. Johnstone was previously the keynote speaker at the YWCA Regina’s Women of Distinction Awards, another event meant to celebrate women’s achievements — but apparently now open to men who identify as women. At some point, we have to ask the obvious question: If awards for women keep going to men, what exactly is left that belongs to women? It’s institutional cowardice dressed up as progress. Real feminism used to mean defending women, even when it was unpopular. Even when powerful people didn’t like it. The Famous Five challenged the establishment because women were being erased from the definition of “persons.” Today, their legacy is being used to applaud the erasure of women from their own spaces. If Emily Murphy and Nellie McClung could see what their foundation is doing now, they would probably ask a very simple question: After everything we fought for… how did it come to this? Because the truth is, the people running these institutions today are not continuing the legacy of the Famous Five. They’re dismantling it. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

Today in the Australian senate, Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺 asked the sitting minister for women Katy Gallagher, “What measures is the government taking to ensure women’s health, safety, privacy & basic rights are being protected from trans activism?” Senator Gallagher responded, in part, that no stakeholders have ever contacted her about any issues. Aside from the fact that we most certainly have, and I have the receipts to prove it, consider this the latest official contact: • What is the Australian government doing to ensure that women are a protected class of people that men cannot identify themselves into? • In your determination to “treat everyone equally”, how are you dealing with the inequality of allowing men who identify into women’s spaces at the expense of women who require women only spaces? • What part of “gender identity” as a protected characteristic in the Sex Discrimination Act states that men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women, which is what happens when their demands are met at the expense of women’s needs? • What part of the SDA says that “gender identity” means that men who claim to be women *are* women? (hint: it doesn’t) • Why does “gender identity” as a protected characteristic override sex based rights, despite the fact that there is absolutely no indication in domestic or international law that this was intended let alone acceptable? • When there is a “conflict of rights”, why is it that women are supposed to accept coming in second place to men who claim to be women? • Why do private citizens have to spend millions of dollars in legal fees to clear up what is obviously a muddling of legislation while legislators such as yourself pretend that there is no issue? • If there really is no issue, why don’t you let the Sex Discrimination Commissioner know that & allow female only spaces & sport? • Are you aware that the US fixed a big part of this issue politically and the UK unmuddled the law in the courts, while Australia - who had the opportunity to lead the way - continues to look like the upside down joke we’ve always been infamous for? • Finally, what is a woman? There. A stakeholder in this issue has addressed it with you. I await your response with breath that is baited.

Day 4 of Unfiltered. Most people know that women, on average, live about five years longer than men. What’s less known is that this advantage disappears if you are a physician. A large study published this year showed that female physicians lose that mortality benefit, even compared with other high stress professions. There are many possible reasons. Psychological stress. The second shift at home. Bias in the workplace. Burnout. What matters is that people are finally studying it, because we cannot fix what we refuse to see. I wanted to share this for another reason. Over the last few decades, American healthcare has become harder and harder to survive in, and at the same time, more women are entering medicine. We are also seeing evidence that women physicians often achieve better patient outcomes in certain settings. That tells a powerful story about what women are giving to this profession. As a female physician who cares for women facing the hardest moments of their lives, I have never seen a force stronger than a woman protecting her people. I believe women in medicine will be a huge part of what ultimately helps fix healthcare. Losing a mortality advantage is not a story of weakness. It is a story of how deeply women are pouring themselves into this work because it matters. And still, we have to find another gear. We cannot destroy ourselves in the process of caring for others. If you know a female physician, encourage her. If you are in a position to support women in medicine, please do. We are at a real crisis point in healthcare, and this moment calls for both honesty and care. I see you. I am proud of you. And I am proud to stand among you.
