Bolivia is one of the most violent countries for women in the world. In 2019, there were more than 30k cases registered. In response, #ModelosDeMujer and Pro Mujer have launched the first country-wide helpline to provide legal and psychological support. bit.ly/ProMjrBolHelpLine

@DebDebas from @Desjardins shares the astonishing stat that investors have committed to divest $11 trillion from fossil fuels. But divesting can only be done once, and investing in the transition is key to being part of the long term solution. #EnergyTransition at #RIACon20

In these unprecedented times, businesses must be flexible and creative. One of our partners in #Peru, a trout producer, is adapting due to regulatory measures by allocating part of their export production to satisfy a larger demand in local markets. #socialenterprise #aquaculture

There are moments in time when we all need to come together. This feels like one of those times. So, we're now offering free personal finance consultations to anyone suffering financially from the impact of Coronavirus.
We'll get through this together.

Things Covid has proven:
1. The job you were told couldn't be done remotely can be done remotely
2. Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didnt want them to.
3. Internet is a utility, not a luxury
4. Universal healthcare is necessary

Old ways still govern Canada. As a nation, we need to improve, we need to redefine power. We need to value women’s lived experience. Thank you @Puglaas for speaking truth @femdeliver #feministsdeliver #WD2019 #MEDAValues #Solidarity
