Today we’re attending the 23rd OSCE Conference entitled “It’s About People: National Leadership to End Human Trafficking”. #HumanTrafficking #awareness #policymaking #survivorvoices

🙌🏽 Activist @Ruchiragupta is officially launching Heera’s story today. Congratulations on this inspiring group! We’re happy to have been able to bring social impact to this debut novel by creating a dedicated website for the book and supporting with outreach activities.

In this recently launched e-learning module, we’re covering: ✔️ why & how the gender digital gap affects women across the globe ✔️ two case studies on how bridging the gap advances the fight against human trafficking Access the module here: sdg2030.me/iwd23

We are privileged to have learnt so much about human trafficking and modern slavery from good and warm individuals with lived experience and others working to make a difference. All these lessons are compiled in a new HUB format which you can check at: ifound.global/hub/

On the day of love, we would like to thank all the people who helped us build our community with love, empathy, energy that moves mountains & brilliant ideas. Here are some of our highlights from 2022. ℹ️ Read the whole report here: lnkd.in/eZyCbbv8

Our dear team member Nour Barakeh graduated today from Central European University. 👏🏼We thought there would be no better way of recognising and appreciating her efforts than introducing her latest work. ℹ️ You can read her entire paper here: lnkd.in/e-8_N_sk

As a follow-up to our SDGs and Human Trafficking: Lived Experience Leads event in London in July 2022, we commissioned a related policy brief from the talented young academic Nour Barakeh. ℹ️ To read the entire policy brief, please go to lnkd.in/eyjba9ad.

2022 Highlights: thanks to everyone who was part of it. #2022inShort #retrospect #sdgs #moments #climatechange #globalissues #supportsystem #team #people #thankyou

#climatechange is characterised by injustice: those most impacted often create fewer CO2 emissions yet have less say in related global decisions. Meanwhile, war receives more global funding than climate mitigation. Discover more at sdg2030.me/justice/

Next in our #COP27 series: As someone who was born near the Kazakh area impacted by the nuclear weapons testing, it is always important for @hello_gera to see the nexus between nuclear weapons and climate change. #COP27 #TogetherForImplementation

Climate anxiety has been described as “a chronic fear of environmental doom”. For example, it can be the feeling of horror when an extreme weather event devastates planet, people and wildlife. Let’s take a quick look at its causes 👇 sdg2030.me/sdg13hub/learn
