As Somalia is holding parliamentary elections this

As Somalia is holding parliamentary elections this week, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General @aminajmohammed visited the country on Sunday to express her solidarity with Somali women’s calls for full and equal participation in political life.

“Somalia achieved a milestone at its last elections in 2016/17 with 24 per cent of parliamentary seats filled by women, and I am hopeful that the country will build on this by expanding women’s participation even further,” Mohammed said.

#WomenAgainstRape and @womenofcolour_gws are organ

#WomenAgainstRape and @womenofcolour_gws are organising a protest against the proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill while it's debated in the UK’s House of Lords tomorrow.

The bill has attracted nationwide demonstrations since it was first announced due to the draconian measures it contains.

“The police don’t need more powers. They need to be accountable to our communities and use the powers they have to protect women and children against violent men, including police officers, instead of criminalising us, especially if we are working-class and of colour.”

If the bill passes, the UK will no longer be a functioning democracy, according to research by @the_99percent_organisation.

Mexico City will replace its prominent 19th-centur

Mexico City will replace its prominent 19th-century bronze statue of Christopher Columbus with one of an indigenous Mexican woman, the capital’s mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said on Sunday.

The Columbus statue towered over one of Mexico City’s main traffic circles for decades before it was taken down last year ahead of an annual protest that marks the explorer’s arrival in the Americas in 1492.

Authorities said it was taken away for restoration work but added that it was also time for reflection about Columbus’s legacy, following a global re-examination of colonisation and slavey sparked by Black Lives Matter protests in the US.

The new statue will deliver “social justice” regarding the historic role of women in Mexico, particularly those of indigenous origin, Sheinbaum said.
