How has COVID-19 affected women and how can it bring gender justice? As Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women and Helena Dalli, EU Commissioner for Gender indicate in their OpEd piece here - https://loom.ly/uLivkgM - research shows that many more women than men have had to remain at home and/or reduce their work during the pandemic to take care of children due to lack of access to child care services. We need to invest and expand child care services, creating more jobs and alleviating gender inequalities. Only together can we can “turn crisis into an opportunity for positive change and a more equal future for all”. #COVID19Women #genderjustice

As WNC has said for more than a decade: Young peoples’ voices need to be heard! Today is INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY. The 2020 theme is “Youth Engagement for Global Action”. WNC scholars think critically about important global issues. They have taken on so many of our local challenges that require global action, such as environmental degradation and violence against women. “The youth is the hope of our future.” – Jose Rizal https://loom.ly/F-uZ-fw

Today we celebrate Ruth Bader Ginsburg's 27th year

Today we celebrate Ruth Bader Ginsburg's 27th year serving the Supreme Court of The United States! She was only the second female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, appointed in 1993 by President Bill Clinton.
A longtime feminist, she served as the director of the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union in the 1970s.
She continues to argue for gender equality and will play a pivotal role in many contentious cases in the future. #RBG #SCOTUS 👩‍⚖️

Take a minute to read about our awesome scholar Siani Antoine.⠀
⠀
Siani just graduated from UNC-CH with a degree in U.S. History. She is on her way to @uncpublichhealth this fall to start a career in the global health sector. Siani plans on getting a Master's degree in Public Health with concentration maternal, child and family health. ⠀
⠀
As a WomenNC scholar this past year, Siani researched oral health disparities in women in rural eastern North Carolina. She cultivated a strong relationship with her @rti_intl mentor Dr. Margaret Gichane, who guided her both in the research and graduate school application processes. It's through WomenNC that Siani discovered her passion for women's health policy.⠀
⠀
Siani also has a blog, @bloomintowomanhood, dedicated to fostering a space of solidarity, friendship, and community among women - go check it out and follow her journey to womanhood!⠀

Keep up the amazing work, @thelovelyani!
