Our hearts are with the people of Kyiv after Russia's deadliest attack since the full-scale invasion began. The attack targeted civilian homes, hospitals, and schools—violating int'l law. The world must act to support just & sustainable peace in #Ukraine. giwps.georgetown.edu/resource/10-po…

We join in the happiness of Sviatlana Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya on the release of her husband & other opposition leaders who were unjustly imprisoned for five years by Lukashenko in Belarus. Sviatlana never ceased to plead for their freedom. May democracy one day flourish in Belarus.

Gaza is set to run out of all drinkable water in the next few weeks & every single woman is now facing catastrophic hunger. Without water, women's lives are in danger and they are more vulnerable to infection and a lack of dignity during menstruation. unicef.org/press-releases…

We applaud the United Nations for adopting a resolution calling out the widespread and systematic oppression of women and girls in #Afghanistan, despite a veto from the US. We echo the demand for a reversal of the Taliban's oppressive policies. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…

As the race for critical minerals accelerates, women are often left behind—excluded from jobs and exposed to sexual violence and toxins—even though their inclusion boosts outcomes. GIWPS's Jessica Anania explores this in her new article for Foreign Policy. foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/10/wom…
