“The worst ever.” Those are the stark words of @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths, about the death and destruction in Gaza. Having worked in the field for decades, he adds “I don’t say that lightly.” Watch our full conversation.

As a generally proud European, I am ashamed and horrified that most European leaders have so far failed to call for a ceasefire. 11k Palestinians killed, almost 5k children. With the shutting down of hospitals, it will be hard to establish further casualties from now on.
🚨Horrifying reports are emerging on the status of hospitals in Gaza! Hospitals, patients, medical teams, and persons sheltering in health facilities are protected under international law! #SanctionIsraelNow #EndIsraeliImpunity

🗣️ Local authority budgets affect us all, especially women who rely on public services more. 📚 Read our gendered analysis on this year's cuts and department savings: swbg.org.uk/content/publicat…
Launched today: our gendered perspective of the budget cuts/department savings announced earlier this year by local authorities. Women's greater reliance on public services means the impact could have significant consequences for women's equality. swbg.org.uk/content/publicat…

In contrast, comments like “get better” and “get yourself sorted and then come back” are classic non-disabled gaze. Lewis clearly needs time off but disability will be with him forever - and that’s more than okay. His Tourette’s lives alongside every hit record and cheering crowd

Non-disabled people are taught that disabled people are either tragic or inspirational, are overcoming or failing. Lewis challenges the reality: an artist at the top of his game who is also dealing with difficult symptoms. If that’s making you uncomfortable, maybe think why.

We need to recognise, value, and respect care in #MakingWorkVisible this #IWD23. That's why we call for greater investment in care and recognition of its role in the economy. Read more in our recent research report: swbg.org.uk/content/publicat… #InvestInCare
Good morning and happy #IWD2023! Please help us to highlight all the work done by women in Scotland today by live-tweeting your day using #MakingWorkVisible, because we know whether it's 👩‍🍳👩‍🔧👩‍🔬👩‍🚒👩‍⚖️ or 👩‍👧‍👦🏬🤱🗓🍽, women's work often goes undervalued & underpaid.
