💡Heterosexuality isn’t just a personal experience. it’s a norm that dictates how men & women should behave, relate & desire one another. This is why LGBTQI+ people are often pressured to “come out”, a norm that straight people never have to navigate.

Glimpses from the #XVIConferenciaMujerALC in #MexicoCity, where care & equality took center stage.
We were also very grateful to connect with partners at the Care Pavilion, hosted by the Global Alliance for Care, which is leading an ambitious agenda & providing a space for reflection & exchange.

How can schools challenge harmful masculinities & promote gender-just learning?
In Chile, years of #feministmobilisation have led to reforms placing gender justice at the heart of teacher training, showing the power of student-led demands for non-sexist education.

The 59th UN Human Rights Council wrapped this week bringing tough but vital wins for #GenderEquality.
From women in sport to #FGM to economic rights, resolutions passed reflect progress and deep divides over language on #bodilyautonomy and #intersectionality.

As #FfD4 unfolds in Spain, the #CompromisodeSevilla is a step forward, but real progress needs investment in universal care systems.
Read this @odi.global brief that makes the case for recognising and investing in care as a pillar of national social protection strategies.

At #FFD4, one truth stands out: gender equality can’t be an afterthought in financing. With time running out for the #2030Agenda, donors must back feminist movements now. Just 0.2% of #ODA goes to them.

As #Pridemonth kicks off, it’s worth remembering that challenges to LGBTQI+ rights are often an early indicator of broader backlash against democracy, #genderjustice and #socialinclusion.
But these dynamics are not new, nor are they isolated.

Norms operate at multiple levels—shaping legal frameworks, influencing politics, access to resources and opportunities. Yet, because they are deeply embedded in societal structures, they often go unchallenged.

In 2013-17, anti-gender groups got $3.7B 💰while #LGBTQI+ movements got just $1.2B (@gpp-updates.bsky.social, 2020).
Even after a decade this financial imbalance continues to fuel the backlash against gender equality.

Thanks to #AliciaHerbertOBE, Ambassador #XimenaFuentes, Ambassador #DerrekHof, @sara-pantuliano.bsky.social and #AyeshaKhan for their insights. Gender equality is key to global economic, social, and political stability and prosperity and is not just a matter of women's rights.

Takeaways: Attaining gender equality is impossible without global coalition & should be led by Global South. We must keep pressuring governments to maintain commitments. And rethink funding - the shift from project-based funding to long-term support is crucial for sustainability.
