Today was International Day of UN peacekeepers, honouring peacekeepers who have lost their lives. I was invited to discuss UN reform and implementing Women, Peace and Security at a high profile roundtable event organised by @rusi.bsky.social and #UNA-UK #WPS

I don't think they realise that the Women Peace and Security agenda is based on a UN Security Council resolution written by UN member states 25 years ago. It is not a 'Biden initiative'. Everyone's objective should be peace, not war #UNSCR1325

I think it's fair to say that the banning of these words in US federal work shows how enclosed in their ivory towers they are with all that wealth, care, healthcare and paid-for security. Also very worrying, that nothing can constitute 'hate speech'. #Trump #Musk #authoritarianism

Conflict-related sexual violence as a tactic of war increased by 50% last year and still perpetrators are not held accountable #CRSV #CSW69

We’ve made so many advances for women’s rights since Beijing 30 years ago but “globally, every 10 min a woman is killed”. #UNWomen #CSW69 #CSW2025

The #US votes against a #UN resolution demanding an immediate Russian withdrawal from Ukraine. #Hungary and ##Israel also voted against. The resolution included mention of Russia’s invasion being in violation of the UN Charter. via @benrosamond1.bsky.social #Ukraine #Russia #internationalorder

Attending the '30 years of Feminist Work in Organization Studies' conference today. Nancy Harding reflects on how feminist research has evolved. 2004-2014 was the opening up era, with more research undertaken between 2014-2024. In the 1990s there were few spaces available to publish #gender research

I’m reading profsophieharman.bsky.social book ‘Sick of It’ for my research on the British Army. A reminder that last time, Trump’s administration pulled the plug on funding to #NGOs around the world supporting women’s health and providing abortion services #womenshealth #abortion #trump #mysogny
