Lots of chatter about the @NetflixUK show "Adolescence" driving 🌍 conversations about violence ~ but is it "more than talk"? 🆕 review out in WBRO suggests yes: Of 21 rigorous studies, 64-71% show promising impacts on attitudes, norms & behaviors shorturl.at/B78ZZ

@British_Airways Hello! I'm meant to travel to Kenya on Thurs 19th on BA0065. I know that NBO is currently closed due to a strike. Do you know when you might take a decision to cancel the flight? (I don't want to turn up at the airport and wait hours only to find out then.) Thx!

UNICEF Evaluation@UNICEFEval·
Getting to zero #FGM starts with measurement. 📊 As we mark the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, we’re spotlighting why accurate and ethical measurement matters. FGM has long been under-researched, especially in understanding what truly works to end the practice. A critical first step is strengthening how we measure attitudes, norms, and behaviors through household surveys. In our latest blog, we unpack what we’re learning from impact evaluations on the validity of self-versus proxy reports, social desirability bias, and how innovative measurement can open new pathways to reducing FGM. How accurate are measures? Maybe more accurate than you think! Check out the blog, including an #evaluation case study from our work in #BurkinaFaso 👉 unicef.org/evaluation/blo…

This new working paper argues that female economics PhD students benefit tremendously from having female economics faculty around. How do they back up this claim? They look at the timing of sabbatical leaves. When female professors go on leave, it decreases third-year female Ph.D. students’ likelihood of publishing papers and securing academic positions. Male Ph.D. students in the same cohort benefit from this absence, seeing an increase in their publishing and placement prospects. Their estimates imply that "Adding one senior female professor to each top-50 department would close one-third of the assistant professor gender gap at top-25 schools."

Nature won’t consider comments on articles published more than 18 months ago. What kind of horrible science is this?

🌍 One Year Since Bogotá: Renewing Our Commitment to End Violence Against Children This week we celebrate the 1st anniversary of the Bogotá Conference to End Violence Against Children. The challenge remains urgent: over 1 billion children experience violence each year. This is not just a statistic; it’s a collective failure to protect the most vulnerable. Now more than ever, evidence matters. We must use what works — proven strategies and data-driven solutions — to guide testing, adaptation, and scaling. Every child deserves safety, dignity, and the chance to reach their full potential. Let’s turn commitments into action. Together, we can end violence against children. 🔗 Learn more: • Bogotá Conference: …violenceagainstchildrenconference.org 👈 • The Lancet A crucial juncture for evidence-based action to end violence against children: Read here 👇 thelancet.com/journals/lanch… • The Lancet Interventions to prevent, reduce, and respond to violence against children and adolescents: a systematic review of systematic reviews to update the INSPIRE Framework: Read here 👇 thelancet.com/journals/lanch… #EndViolence #BogotáAnniversary #ChildProtection #EvidenceForChange

UNICEF Evaluation@UNICEFEval·
How can we strengthen programming to address both collective and interpersonal violence in fragile settings? This question was at the heart of the opening keynote by @amberpeterman, Evaluation Specialist, UNICEF at the #FragileLives conference last month in Berlin, hosted by the International Security and Development Center (ISDC) @ISDCBerlin . Representing UNICEF Evaluation, Amber shared insights into the dual burden of violence faced by children and families across the globe, and how integrated approaches across sectors can create synergies to reduce harm. UNICEF was also represented by @UNICEFEgypt 's Natalia Winder Rossi who joined a policy panel on empowering women and girls, highlighting the importance of generating evidence with and for girls to inform transformative policy. A heartfelt thank you to Amber and Natalia for their thoughtful contributions and for representing #UNICEF so powerfully. Check out the program & all presentations here: lnkd.in/eMK6HawX We look forward to engaging further on evidence, innovation and policy discussions with & for children in settings of fragility across the globe 🙏🏽

Please read our new @LancetGH paper "Dignity-based practice in global health research: a framework of expectations" thelancet.com/journals/langl… We synthesised complaints on knowledge practices in global health to identify expectations that affirm the dignity of marginalised knowers.

@CGDev @markus_gold Surprise, not surprise! Thanks for this fact checking. Curious what the high-volume over-stayer upper middle & high income countries are? "But the other three countries that contribute over 100,000 do not even get a mention in the White House announcement."

Six countries are facing a total or partial visa ban from the US for "high" overstay rates. Yet together, the targeted countries account for just 0.3% of all overstays in 2023. @markus_gold argues the policy misses the real scale of the issue: bit.ly/4mLrLu9
