Last March, the global community gathered at the UN headquarters in New York to mark the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, the conference that led to the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The Beijing document called on governments to remove obstacles to gender equality and the empowerment of women.

I have been looking forward to doing some anti-vaccine myth-busting. Countering the disinformation regarding vaccines, especially vaccines for COVID-19, is vital to addressing vaccine hesitancy. But if we are myth-busting, then we must also bust the myth that our healthcare systems are not also responsible for some of this hesitancy. In Canada, at least one poll... 22/06/2022 | 17:54:01 Thank you, Mister President. Esteemed colleagues and fellow parliamentarians, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to these critically important topics today. The Women, Peace, and Security Agenda is now more than 20 years old. The notion that peace processes and political reconciliation need to incorporate women and account for the gendered effects of conflict has since become an established principle in international peace studies.
