The SDGs and the UN itself have fallen in Gaza. This is a shame!!!!! & It appears that #SDGs can't be applicable equally in the different parts of the world !!!

[yessoupy]

In 2016, I taught Qasem how to fold a paper crane. His family is in Gaza (he is safe in Germany). His father is collecting funds that Qasem sends him each month to purchase food for those living in tents and on the street. Qasem's English is not the best, so the description as I post this isn't the best, either, but I will vouch for him.

All of these Palestinian students of mine I met while teaching about leadership and communication in Ireland. At the conference, their projects were ALWAYS about education and how to ensure Palestinian kids could get the best education possible. When they left, they had friends from America and Ireland. My goal was to, yes, foster a sense of leadership in them, but more importantly to have them leave with these friends and new connections, and to encourage them to keep in touch. I always offered myself as someone who would be happy to write a letter of reference, help them proofread an essay, give advice about education, etc.

Now, they reach out to me to help them raise money to save their people. I post here and every other platform and WISH these posts got the kind of attention that my 3am post about Amber Glenn got, or that stupid post that went viral. Every single fundraiser I post is one that I myself have donated to. I've spoken to the person who started the fundraiser, or their family member.

I am BEGGING you to help my students, their families, and their friends. If you can't donate, please just SHARE the link. Please.

I'll end this plea with some gallows humor. Mohammed has been relatively lucky throughout this war and has had WhatsApp access nearly continuously. I've checked in with him at least once a week since October. This is our most recent 'check-in' exchange:

Launch of the WPS-HA Compact 2022 Accountability Report: Action, Accountability, Collaboration

UN Women together with WPS-HA Compact Board Co-Chairs, Norway and the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP), and WPS-HA Compact Board and Catalytic members and Signatories will gather for the launch of the Accountability report and to discuss opportunities for continued and strengthened action, accountability and collaboration.

The release of the inaugural 2022 WPS-HA Compact Accountability Report reviews the implementation of Signatory actions in 2022. As military expenditure continues to skyrocket, and financing for gender equality in conflict and crisis contexts and women's organizations remains severely inadequate in proportion to the need. Fifty-nine per cent implemented actions in a country where peace has declined from 2021 to 2022.

Seventy-one per cent reported on the Compact's principles of transformation, which foster localization, intergenerational action, inclusivity and intersectionality, a multistakeholder action across the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus. The report shows that Signatories have made commendable progress, and their reporting contributes to increased accountability, stronger coordination and evidence-guided strategies for sustainable peace.
