A2: One promising practice that is emerging is the questioning of whether we should collect data and how.
People are realizing the importance of gender data and the organizations and networks that make it possible to even access communities. (1/3) #genderdata@devex
A2: Hopefully, that translates into government and sectoral funding to these networks and structures that make this possible.
Focus on do no harm when it comes to VAWG/GBV data collection is also promising. (2/3) #GenderData@devex
Initiatives like mapping loss of livelihoods for women in the Indian state of Kerala is also promising. As is trauma-informed phone interviews on sensitive topics (3/3) #genderdata@devex

75 years ago, @UN was founded to unite the world to confront the challenges facing all of humanity. With growing inequality, climate crisis, #COVID19, toxic nationalism, and ongoing conflict - it is clear that the promise of the UN remains as important as ever. #UN75
We celebrate the @UN#UN75. Its humanitarian efforts have saved lives, it has brokered and kept peace in conflict areas around the world, promoted #HumanRights, and created & championed an agenda for sustainable development. #PeaceDay#GlobalGoals
But @UN's promise remains unfulfilled. Globally, #WomensRights are being rolled back, women human rights defenders are under attack. 25 yrs since the Beijing Declaration, & 20 yrs since UNSC Res. 1325, govts aren't meeting commitments to #WomenPeaceSecurity & gender equality.
UPDATE: A small group of rich nations - representing just 13% of world population - have bought up MORE THAN HALF the supply of leading #COVID19 vaccine contenders.
#COVID19: As we approach 30 million cases worldwide...
“We will never be able to produce a vaccine at the scale required until corporations share their knowledge free from patents. We need a #PeoplesVaccine, not a profit vaccine.” - @Anna_Marriott
Jeff Bezos could personally pay each of @amazon’s 876,000 employees a one-off bonus of more than $100,000 - and still be as wealthy as he was at the beginning of the pandemic.
BEIRUT: One month since the #BeirutBlast killed over 180 people, injured more than 6,500 and displaced some 300,000 residents... and still thousands of people simply can’t afford a front door. oxf.am/31VM41o
You are powering Oxfam’s partner-led response in #Beirut, providing over 9,000 people with support ranging from emergency cash & food, medical services, mental health support, legal assistance and help to repair and rebuild homes and businesses. #ThankYou
A staggering 9.3 million Syrians are now going to sleep hungry and +2m more are at risk of a similar fate. #Covid19 restrictions, the collapse of the Syrian pound, and the displacement of millions of people are a disastrous combination.
The #coronavirus care workload continues to fall disproportionately on women – particularly those from ethnic & racial minorities, those living in poverty and in communities without access to basic infrastructure and services. oxf.am/2Y9sFYL #HowICare
Women do more care work in every country across the globe because of a lack of investment in public services, a labor market that ignores people’s care needs, and harmful stereotypes that consider care work to be women’s work and less skilled or valuable than paid work. #HowICare
