Choosing to #mend is about cherishing what we own & reducing waste. Artisan Eesha shows this with a custom order—transforming a ripped shirt into art with knot embroidery. Mending is personal, creative, & sustainable, celebrating the timeless value of our clothes.

We treasure this beautiful artisanal sustainable gift by Asia Noor gifted to us by @kaarvancrafts during the Brussels visit. Celebrating the incredibly talented women in the @kaarvancrafts network and amazing team! Thank you!

Proud of our partner and friend @luisabravodsgn from @CitySpaceArchi .

Climate action starts with each of us. Women are setting the example for the change we want to see. Women are 2.5x more likely to engage on climate issues and 60% more likely to advocate for social good. Our commitment to the planet is powerful, and leaders should match it.

#Data is our savior. 70% of #women avoid using public spaces at night due to fears of gender-based violence, and 50% avoid them even during the day for similar reasons. 83% of women no longer allow their #children outdoors alone at any time of day. genderedcity.org/f/feminist-pla…
