“There’s no #gender-neutral #pandemic, and this one is no different!”
Read this interview @phumzileunwomen on the specific gender dimension of #Coronavirus and how this has highlighted once more the need to have more women in power! nytimes.com/2020/08/09/us/…
While #women represent 1/2 of humanity, their under-representation in political offices is appalling. This is not only wrong, but also stupid: female leadership correlates with more inclusive governance & better economic outcomes.

People keep on asking me why I care about what's happening in #HongKong, and why at @NOW4humanity we are organizing #FridaysForFreedom across the world: "it's sad but inevitable and 'only' concerns a couple million people".
Here are some quick thoughts:

1. Nothing is inevitable. Hong Kong vs #China might be the combat of David vs Goliath, but the world can come to David's rescue
2. Injustice anywhere is a treat to justice everywhere. I would argue that a couple million people is an enormous amount of injustice!
