Collectively the world's poorest countries contribute ~0 to US trade deficit, but exports to US are very important for some of them. Current US tariffs and (even more) tariff uncertainty very bad for them. A cheap and powerful diplomatic win would be to exempt them.

Women bear the brunt of water scarcity and inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities and services. They also tend to be more adversely affected by water-related disasters. Despite this, women remain underrepresented in decision-making on water resources management and WASH. On average, women comprise only 20% of staff in water utilities globally. To more effectively respond to growing demands for water and sanitation and diverse water needs, water institutions must attract all available talent – including women.

I put together an overview of recent developments in the literature on gender-based violence for @AEAjournals
There's enough material for 2x 1.5hr lectures. I've covered the material in labor & gender economics classes
I hope they can be helpful!
