Wow… what a read.

Just finished ‘Men Who Hate Women’ by Laura Bates.

A chilling, eye-opening look at online misogyny and its real-world impact.

Essential read for understanding and combating gender-based hate.

I had a fantastic discussion w/ Vanya Andreeva-Malakova, Bulgaria’s Head of Mission, on Women’s Rights in the EU. We covered legal frameworks, tackling discrimination, & Bulgaria’s initiatives. Emphasis was placed on education, empowerment, & cooperation to advance gender equality across EU States.
