Congratulations to DLA Piper on their inaugural Americas Sustainability report! Proud to have been part of this effort.

This is not “the new normal”. The climate crisis will continue to escalate and get worse as long as we stick our heads in the sand and prioritise profit and greed over people and planet. We are still sleepwalking towards the edge.

I’m shocked to learn of the murder of @gretglyer, founder of @DonorSee, who I worked with through @thebaobabhome. Funds are being raised to support his wife and young children as they deal with this loss. gofundme.com/f/gret-glyer

On September 21, 2004, I decided I wanted to work for the UN someday. On September 21, 2012, I was a delegate at the UN International Day of Peace in New York. On September 21, 2020, I had my first day as a Communications & Policy Intern with UNODC Myanmar. Happy #UNDay!

Gender-based violence is a major issue in the SE Asia #ASEAN region, and it is on the rise due to #COVID19. @UNODC_SEAP and @UNFPAMMR have brought together key actors from gov, civil society & international partners in #Myanmar 🇲🇲 to identify concrete steps for improved responses

Great to open today's #Myanmar gender-based violence roundtable. Very good to see broad range of #GBV response actors, incl police, prosecution, health, social welfare & civil society. With #COVID19 as added challenge, improved coordination key to effective responses @UNinMyanmar
