The UNODC emergency first responder toolkit project was inspired by research undertaken by Professor Yifat Bitton and the RAIA Project based on lessons learned from the Oct. 7th 2023 massacre, which serves as an important case study for this undertaking.

Proud to be participating in the Expert Mtg at the UNODC in Vienna to create a toolkit for first responders when dealing with cases of SGBV perpetrated in terrorist attacks. This initiative is sponsored by Israel & Switzerland, with the support of Argentina. 🇮🇱🇨🇭🇦🇷 🇺🇳

Amb. Leiter is correct that yesterday was a victory for sanity, responsibility and peace. I would also argue that it was a small victory for UNSCR 1325 and the WPS agenda, with women from both sides sitting around the table. Let’s hope we can free women the region from Hezbollah

On this very different kind of International Women’s Day (writing this from my bomb shelter as we are being attacked by Iranian ballistic missiles) I am proud of my Israeli sisters who are fighting for our safety and for the freedom of our sisters in Iran.

חזק מאד. סרטון שראוי היה שצהל היה מכין בעצמו.

The Israel Foreign Ministry is lit up in orange tonight to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls and display solidarity with our sisters around the world. 🌎 🇮🇱

Today’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is an opportunity to shine a light on a problem that persists in the shadows, day in and day out: blogs.timesofisrael.com/isolation-inti…

I appreciate UN Special Representative Patten calling attention to the much ignored plight of women from N. Darfur & N. Kordofan. As Israel’s Special Envoy for Women, Peace and Security, I understand how important it is for the intl community to speak out against sexual violence.

Honored to take part today in the Intl. Women Leader’s Conf. at the Golda Meir Intl. Training Center in Haifa, hosted by @MASHAVisrael . The topic of this year’s conference is « Shaping the Future: Women’s Leadership, AI & Gender Equality » featuring experts from around the world

Hard to believe I am reading this in 2025. SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️😱😱😱. My thoughts and prayers are with the women and girls of Afhganistan… After Afghan Quake, Many Male Rescuers Helped Men but Not Women nytimes.com/2025/09/04/wor… via @NYTimes

Proud to have completed the first ever Forum Devorah Mentor-training program last night with a truly impressive cohort of colleagues and fellow Forum Devorah members. Appreciate our network, our sisterhood and our commitment to help the next generation of women leaders advance.

This is the sign that ‘greeted’ me at the entrance to a pedestrian mall in Portugal (named after the granddaughter of Queen Isabella who expelled the Jews from Spain). Ironically it hangs right near a Jewish ritual bath that was abandoned when the Jews were expelled…

My lab at @WeizmannScience was completely demolished by the Iranian missile a few days ago. This is hard and sad as nothing was left to save. We study heart regeneration and regenerative medicine. As such, we will regenerate, regrow and rebuild. The one thing that wasn't gone is our motivation said one of my student. It is true. Here, I would like to thank many of my friends around the globe that offer their help, space and support. I really appreciate that.

Was inspired to meet with the next generation of Israeli women leaders and potential diplomats in the Young Politicians Group פוליטיקאיות צעירות at Ben Gurion University and tell them about my work as an Israeli diplomat and as Israel’s Special Envoy for Women, Peace and Security

Was an honor today to brief a delegation of LGBTQ+ political activists from Down Under 🇦🇺🐨🌏 here in Israel for Pride Week. Happy #PrideForAll2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈🌈🌈 (And can’t wait to sport my new pair of kangaroo socks 🧦 🦘🦘🦘)
