COP30 will test regional action in LatAm -and whether countries address climate change impact on women who see increasing care burdens, threatening livelihoods, further violence, limited access to basic services; all of which most likely will force them to flee

habra acción regional en la COP30 respecto de mujeres migrantes? Mientras, por el cambio climático muchas mujeres ven aumentar las cargas de cuidado, mas riesgo a medios de vida, mas violencia, y limitado acceso a servicios básicos-con toda probabilidad, obligándolas a desplazarse.

🌎 El cambio climático ya no es solo una #crisis ambiental: es un motor de desplazamiento humano en #AmLat.

🤔 ¿Podrá la #COP30 en #Brasil 🇧🇷 abordar el nexo entre clima y #migración como un desafío regional?

Expecting Argentina’s recovery to hinge on Trump or Milei’s consideration of ‘whatever it takes’ commitment is bad news for the people, and of course dangerous. Unsure as well about what the Financial Times means by ‘national commitment’ -by whom/ to what?! Unsurprisingly biased on.ft.com/4nhn2jA

El Salvador just fast-tracked itself into liberal authoritarianism, pushing through a constitutional reform to allow indefinite re-election, extend the presidential term, and eliminate runoffs. And just to kill regional cooperation, quit Parlacen too.

Women’s bodies are war zones in Sudan, DRC, Haiti and beyond. Yet just 10% of funding to support survivors is provided.

Sexual violence in conflict is not invisible - it is ignored.

Our plea to donors: don’t cut money for survivors of these cowardly, pathetic men.

The closure of UN offices and humanitarian programmes that support migration and refugee undermines protection & the human rights infrastructure that support it. It leaves millions without essential aid amidst violence and poverty. This are root causes, and will create not reduce the need to flee.

A week in El Salvador for excellent work w @cintranatalia.bsky.social Visited shelters, borders areas, and humanitarian actors x interviews & presented a report on new migration flows and challenges of regional protection. Impressed with what was said and equally inspired by what was not said.

Another extraordinary book that takes you into race, slavery, Haiti, and New Orleans, while exploring the essence of womanhood. It takes you on an emotional journey through the brutal history of slavery and the enduring legacy of colonialism. A powerful story and story teller.

This is also a call to move beyond seeing forced migrant women as passive victims and towards autonomy-promoting/supporting systems of protection in global migration governance. All this with @artsofdenial.bsky.social @cintranatalia.bsky.social and Gloria Zucarelli.

President Trump and right-wing politicians in Europe have railed against trans rights. Britain’s Supreme Court has now added its voice to the discussion, ruling on Wednesday that the legal definition of a woman under the country’s equality legislation is based on biological sex.
