2024 was a big year for #YouthPeaceSecurity at the country level! ✌️
Sharing some reflections on the #YPS National Action Plans adopted so far—what they reveal about localization and youth ownership, and why truly inclusive policymaking takes time.

In 2021, Shadi Rouhshahbaz & I published a journal article highlighting #youth as producers of knowledge & experts in peace + security. 😊
Now, in 2025, our article is featured in #AnthologyofPeacePraxis, selected as one of the best-written contributions to Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis.

No better way to recognize #Beijing30 than to witness the strength of Canada’s Indigenous matriarchs on UN stage. Beijing Declaration of Indigenous Women also turns 30 this year. #CSW69

The synergies between #WomenPeaceSecurity and #YouthPeaceSecurity are essential to ensuring young women don’t fall through the cracks. These frameworks are mutually reinforcing, with their strengths lying in recognizing their differences—not as threats, but as assets. #CSW69

Day 1 of #CSW69 in New York: Feels surreal to be here in such a tense political moment. The amount of support for Canadians from other delegations, including American solidarity, is heartwarming.

As thousands of women + gender equality allies head to New York for #CSW69, I’m reflecting on the growing fragmentation & targeted attacks on women’s rights.
This #InternationalWomensDay feels darker than usual, but here’s to collective action & solidarity in the face of chaos.
