Belgian unions are escalating to a historic three-day general strike in a final showdown with the right-wing government, aiming to stop the most significant rollback of the country's strong welfare state and workers' rights since the post-war era.

♀️🌍 #InternationalWomensDay reminds us WOMEN FEED THE WORLD!

Women produce 60% of food in the Global South—yet are denied land, finance & power.

“If we don’t get more gender equality in #foodsystems, we’ll keep skewing toward profit—away from sustainability & feeding people.”

"flowers are tools of self-care, resistance, and communication, deeply rooted in their communities. They symbolize dignity and survival in a system that denies women their basic rights. As the protest song Bread and Roses goes - it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too."
Why do women wear flowers in their hair to work in the hell of a Tamil Nadu garment factory?
Why do unions know to check on a woman who stops wearing flowers?

At #COP29 in Baku, workers' voices were sidelined in climate negotiations. As we look to #COP30 in Belém, it's crucial to prioritize a #JustTransition that includes and protects all workers. 🌍👷‍♀️👷‍♂️

Last week, I wrote about COP29 and food systems from a mostly global perspective. This week, as COP29 winds down (with a finance deal still elusive), I want to zoom in on the climate and food impacts at a local level, because the consequences are very real.
