On this #IWD21, I'm thrilled to share a piece that @kwilfore and I wrote @BrookingsInst on why gendered disinformation is a #nationalsecurity problem, and outlining the 3 steps the #BidenHarris administration must take to get ready to tackle it: brook.gs/3kWDnf0, namely:
1. Convene as soon as possible the National Task Force on Online Harassment and Abuse proposed by President Joe Biden on the campaign trail - as new regulatory approaches are devised on #BigTech, it's key for this taskforce to lead some of these conversations!
2. Ensure gendered disinformation is a a top priority the newly instituted White House Gender Policy Council co- led by @jenkleindc and Julissa Reynoso
On this #IWD21, let’s talk about the data on quality of care by physician gender. I wrote about it for @Medscape (thanks, @eugeniayun!). Please read the piece if you think they should have a recurring gender equity column!

Rosie Newbigging, from the #YarlsWood campaign, says #NoToHassockfield because: "The plan for IRC Hassockfield must be defeated. People fleeing war, persecution and torture need kindness and compassion, not banished to remote prison like accommodation" #IWD2021 #ChoosetoChallenge

THREAD For #IWD21 please take 5 mins to read & share Gaia's story. Gaia loved #InternationalWomensDay & she should be here celebrating it with us. Instead our bright, brave and beautiful star 🌠 has become part of it. 🌹 #JusticeForGaia #InternationalWomensDay #RapeJusticeNow
We are a family fighting for answers about what happened to our girl who went missing on 7 November 2017 when she was 19 yrs old. 🌹 Eleven days later, her body was found. The coroner found she’d died of hypothermia. We call it a death by indifference...
