More than one billion adolescent girls and women worldwide suffer from undernutrition. There are 150 million more women and girls who are hungrier than men and boys. Important nutrition exhibition in @UKParliament from @UnitedAMH @AAH_UK @ConcernUK @OneAcreFund @MSF_uk #SDG2
Destructive bottom trawling is still permitted in 90% of UK Marine Protected Areas. In @UKHouseofLords I asked the Government when they will protect our precious seabeds 🐟 @OceanaUK @Bluemarinef
Will the government ban destructive fishing methods and protect natural marine environments? In this episode of #InsideLordsQuestions, we catch up with @liz_sugg who recently pressed the government on whether it plans to ban bottom trawling and dredging in marine protected areas.
Please leave the fur wearing to the professionals
Big thanks to @Number10cat for coming and demonstrating that fur is beautiful on animals, not bobble hats and coats, we appreciate your furry solidarity! #FurFreeBritain
One billion adolescent girls and women worldwide are suffering from malnutrition because they typically eat last and least. On #WorldHungerDay I’ve joined @ValerieAmos and @lfeatherstone to call for an increased focus on maternal nutrition👇 theguardian.com/global-develop…
This latest research from @OceanaUK shows the scale of damage happening now in our Marine Protected Areas 🌊 A ban on bottom trawling and dredging in all our marine protected areas is essential to restore and protect the UK’s marine ecosystems and safeguard coastal communities.
🚨 BREAKING: 20,000+ HOURS of suspected bottom trawling WRECKED the UK’s offshore marine “protected” areas last year, our research shows! 🌊 That would score tracks on the seabed that would stretch EIGHT TIMES around the UK. All with the government's permission! 1/4 🔽

No one should die from malaria. Despite good progress, malaria remains a serious global health threat especially to young children and pregnant women in Africa. This #WorldMalariaDay, revitalised global efforts and equitable access to life-saving tools are needed to #EndMalaria
