Kenya received more than 60% of its aid for family planning and reproductive health care from the U.S.

19 African countries received more than half of their family-planning aid from the U.S. This means, while not uniquely so, women and girls around the world - and specifically in Africa - will be particularly hard hit by the aid freeze.

In the first of two stories, we report that when it comes to family planning and reproductive healthcare, the United States was unparalleled in its funding:

US contributed more than half (54%) of aid provided by all countries for family planning & 45% of total for reproductive healthcare in 2023

Still at #CSW69? Join me @ @woman_kind’s 12:30 ET event for a lively reflection on Beijing+30*!

*For those who don’t know their feminist history, 14K people attended 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. It was there the concept of ‘human rights’ was applied to women

Thinking about EJ Win, the Zimbabwean feminist and champion of social justice, who died on 9 March & is being sent off today.

One of the things I loved about Twitter was being able to connect with heroes like EJ who validated me by calling “sister”

Get to know her:

I reckon it’s not too late to say: Happy New Year everyone!

May we choose to stay loving in these hateful times; to cultivate joy in these depressing times…curious and engaged in the face of all that is overwhelming or presumably final/beyond our capacity to change. The world can still be remade.

Marie Colvin comes up in discussion about theatre that is western war reporting. I have her collected writings. Flip it open and land on this.

Colvin writing in 1996: Palestinian politicians “grimly concurred” that “the surprise election of Binyamin Netanhayu…could prove a mortal blow to peace.”

Knew nothing of the atomic bomb tests France did in Algeria until yesterday thanks to a new exhibition at Framer Framed in Amsterdam which combines testimony, archival docs, geospatial data and images.

To learn that there is no public conversation about any of this in France is just as shocking.
