Women’s rights are under attack worldwide & the UK must respond. Yesterday the @libdems.org.uk did.
Championed by @libdemwomen.bsky.social & @monicaharding.bsky.social, we welcome their pledge to put women & girls at the heart of the UK’s global role, dedicating 20% of aid to gender equality.

As Westminster quietens down for the summer, a moment of appreciation for MPs & peers who’ve championed a UK foreign & development policy that puts women’s & girls’ rights at its heart.

In today’s #SpringStatement, the Govt has chosen those with the fewest resources – in the UK & overseas – to shoulder the burden of its efforts to balance the books.

‘No country can thrive when half its people are held back’.
The Uk’s special Envoy Harriet Harmen has been standing up for #genderequality at #CSW69

Excellent thread on why we must reverse the cuts and protect women and girls 👇 #IWD25
After announced aid cuts and ahead of #IWD, our message to the UK government couldn't be clearer: protect women and girls.
