Hira Amjad, Founder/Director DASTAK Foundation, was invited to speak/represent the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) at @UN to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of #UNSCR1325. We explored the implementation of Triple Nexus in Conflict/Crisis-affected Communities

so white people with no proof say something and the world responds, brown skinned people say anything, with proof, with testimony, with history, with statistics, with facts and figures, and immediately is met with scoffs and mistrust

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at #CSW68 catching up with partners & discussing how we can work together to achieve #GenderEquality.
Our priorities this #CSW were:
💜 #SRHR in #UHC
💜 #SRHR and #ClimateJustice
💜 How to #ShowUpForGirls at global spaces
Grateful for this community!
