Don’t Give Up on Funding Human Rights
I have been a human rights activist for over 30 years. In that time, I have witnessed up close wartime atrocities, gross miscarriages of justice, and venal behavior by the powerful. People I admired and cared about were killed. As a women’s rights activist, I documented and reported on the terrible things that men do to women, reinforcing and exploiting their second-class status. Just when I thought I had seen the worst, I learned something new about the depths of human depravity.

Refugee politics from the local to the international
The Trump administration is affecting refugee politics from small towns to the world stage, and activists have a long road ahead. Is there hope for greater protection for refugees? Support for refugees and immigrants was very visible at recent airport protests and on social media, but historically it has been a minority position in the United States.
Without adequate reflection, new refugee solutions risk failing
We have to stop pushing new refugee solutions without assessing where we have succeeded and failed so far. In the ongoing debate on refugee protection, we risk pushing new solutions without properly considering where and why we have succeeded and failed thus far. Refugee protection as we know it has been creaking at the joints for decades.
Dismantling inequality must be part of the pandemic response
As the novel coronavirus continues to surge across the globe, the international community is delivering trillions of dollars toward the fight against COVID-19, creating funds for pandemic response, and sponsoring new initiatives to tackle the dire shortcomings in our health infrastructures. But the thorniest challenges we face are not a lack of protective gear or too few hospital beds.
As a global food crisis looms, local leaders offer solutions
A looming food crisis threatens to push more than a quarter of a billion people to the brink of starvation just as the world scrambles to provide medical and financial relief to nations whose people and economies are ravaged by outbreaks of coronavirus. To feed hungry families and pivot toward a more equitable future for all, it’s time to put the power back into local hands. Grassroots organisations and community activists have spent decades developing local solutions to food insecurity.
Africa: Opinion - International Women's Day Is Not a 'Hallmark Holiday'
Women around the world should join forces to make International Women's Day more than a 'Hallmark holiday' If ever there were a year to remember and reclaim the roots of International Women's Day, 2020 is it. Around the world, authoritarian strongmen are rejecting years of progress to trample on women's rights. In the United States, the vaunted "pink wave" of women in government still makes up less than a quarter of Congress and abortion rights are on the chopping block-again.
