It hadn’t occurred to me that Sophie is isolated in a separate part of the home - and that the PM is the caregiver for his three kids. Items dropped off outside the door, but zero help inside. And a press conference pretty much every day.

Sustainable peace requires women. Yet they're facing rising violence, rollbacks of rights, & ongoing exclusion. Three years ago, Canada became the first country to appoint an Ambassador for #WomenPeaceSecurity. Today we’re pleased to announce the reappointment of @jacqui_oneill

A million times this. When I find myself struggling to write something plainly, I often realize that it’s because I don’t really understand the issue, or my goal. Jargon is also a tool of exclusion-it perpetuates knowledge hoarding & limits the perceived value of “new” voices.
When you understand something clearly, you can explain it clearly. Even experts are turned off by unnecessarily technical language. Papers with more jargon in their titles and abstracts get cited less. Skip specialized terms when familiar ones will do.

A *joy* to host them at Canada’s home in New York & hear how they led a non-violent revolution, ousting a dictator who ruled brutally for 30 yrs. They stressed they’re part of a movement & women’s leadership runs deep in #Sudan. #WomenPeaceSecurity is NOT a ‘Western’ concept!
In #Sudan, @lwolia_salah & Sudanese women peacebuilders are working to bring lasting peace to local communities & calling for government accountability for #womensrights. Canada commends their work and will continue to support women’s participation in #peaceprocesses.

I was honored to meet with @jacqui_oneill, Canada's Ambassador for Women, Peace, and Security. We immediately developed a bond of sweet sisterhood, as if we have known each other for decades. We discussed the importance of involving women in all efforts to #EndAnglophoneCrisis
