Women fill the care gaps left by Govts daily, at the cost of their own time, education & income. For them, #HardWorkPaysNothing

Care binds our societies, yet it’s treated as a private responsibility. Care is a public good & human right.

This #CareDay, let's #UniteForFairChange

It shatters the rose-colored glasses that maintains the status quo. #ResetIndonesia

Pink echoes demands for systemic change. One that is rooted in care, equality and justice.

Pink ironically broke the rose-colored glass, giving way to defiance, change and resistance.

Pink as the rallying color emphasizes empathy and compassion.

A photo of Indonesian MPs with a text saying, "Her rage fueled by Indonesian lawmakers' greed - a housing allowance 20x the minimum wage in Jakarta.

While ordinary Indonesians suffer the consequences of continuous budget cuts and growing economic inequality.

Pink became the rallying color of people standing up against authorities.

It became the banner to which ordinary citizens show solidarity.

When pink becomes the color of resistance. Indonesians call it, brave pink. And true to its name, it became the symbol for courage, hope and unity.

And did I say, it's my favorite color too? ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

#ResetIndonesia

Not long ago, pink became a symbol of change in the Philippines.

In Indonesia, it is ibu Ana's brave pink hijab that sparked the emergence of the color as a symbol of courage, hope and unity.

Yet, we let big corporations like Semirara Mining company get away from its obligations to pay their taxes (17.5 billion pesos), taxes that can go to servicing the public.

Philippines, like other Global South countries, are living in a cycle of debt and repayments. Mirroring what is happening to most Filipinos.

In Filipino, we call this "lubog sa utang" or drowning in debt. Umuutang tayo para bayaran ang utang / We incur debts to pay existing debts + interest.

Philippines debt level nears P17 trillion mark

The country’s outstanding debt reached a new high and inched closer to P17 trillion as of May following the issuance of new domestic securities, the Bureau of the Treasury said.

The super rich thinks they are invincible. Ordinary people pay more taxes than them.

Today, Spain, Brazil and South Africa launched a coalition to tax them during the 4th International Financing for Development in Seville. Hopefully, more countries will follow suit. #FfD4People #TaxTheSuperRich

TL,DR: We need to rethink how we finance development. Global public investment can be that approach. It is rooted in three principles: all benefit from the outcomes; all contribute according to their means; all decide together. #FfD4People #RiseFor

There is a $4 trillion gap between the aspirations of the SDGs and where we currently are at in financing for development. While, 3208 billionaires combined wealth is $16.1 trillion.

Let that sink in. #FfD4people #RiseFor
