Day 2 of ministerial conference Feminist Foreign Policy #FFP4 kicked of with a fascinating panel on how research can advance feminist policies: need the statistics as much as the stories… and transparency who is behind it, as anti-rights groups also pushing their ‘peer reviewed’ data. #Holdtheline

Especially in times of backlash against equal rights for all it is so important to put our heads together with feminists from civil society, science, government, United Nations and community leaders at the ´IN’ 4th Feminist Foreign Policy conference #FFP4 #Paris and our own ´OFF’ activist event! :)

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. 🏡

That is why some of our colleagues were in Brussels at the stunt auction outside of the European Parliament to call on the EU Policymakers not to sell people’s right to housing. 📢

Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe @caneurope.org · 16d

EU leaders promised action on the housing crisis.

Let’s make sure they deliver.

Our right to housing is not for sale.

Today, the European Parliament will vote on the Omnibus I proposal. And behind this vote lies a massive lobby campaign by ExxonMobil, our investigation reveals.

This is outrageous.

The EU cannot let those causing the crisis write the rules to get out of it.

Speaking for WECF at the #GlobalGateway Forum, I called for full transparency: which actors will pay in case of pollution & health impacts? Who cleans up (toxic) tailings and waste? What access to justice and reparation for local women and communities are ensured and who will carry the debt burden?
