For my first @guardian feature I reported on the older Ukrainian long-distance runners still running as war rages around them. It was a huge privilege to speak with all of them – they are heroes in a time of pure horror. theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…

“The only difference we will make is if we have interventions that clearly target women and girls. If we don’t make them resilient to these disasters, it will not help.” Dr. @AshaMohammed_ , Sec Gen, Kenya Red Cross. #SocialEconomic impacts of #COVID19 cc @IFRCAfrica @ifrc

It was such an honour to interview Zahra Mirzaei who along with the AMA has done groundbreaking work around women's birth rights in Afghanistan. Now these rights are under threat and many midwives are living in fear for their safety under the Taliban. bit.ly/3EimYKo
