‘If nobody had advocated for my rights, my dream of becoming a teacher would have gone up in smoke.’ Civil society plays a transformative role in ensuring that those with power hear the voices of all people. That is why the Just Future alliance aims to achieve equitable access to justice for all. The story of Burundian schoolteacher Nelly shows what this directly means in the lives of people who are often excluded from opportunities. 🔗 Read about Nelly's story and the Just Future programme of Cordaid Burundi: https://lnkd.in/eiZaTFjT #JustFuture #Burundi #AccessToJustice #JusticeAndPeace

📢 "Advocating for women's rights and their participation in decision-making isn't just about working with women; it involves engaging men in the dialogue too. Our approach at Women Unlimited has always been inclusive, aiming for a collective understanding and buy-in from both men and women. At the end of the day, if we empower girls while neglecting boys, we are going to end up with men who are not able to handle an empowered woman." Read our interview with Vimbai K. and Andrew Chapfika of Women Unlimited. Their program, supported by the United Nations Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) in partnership with Cordaid, showcases a holistic approach to empowering women, overcoming challenges, and fostering gender equality in Eswatini. 🔗https://lnkd.in/dtSZy6j6 #Peacebuilding #Eswatini #WPHFund #GenderEquality #WomenEmpowerment

Hittegolven in delen van Europa en aanhoudende regenval die de agrarische sector ernstig verstoort; de urgentie van klimaatactie wordt steeds duidelijker. Cordaid pleit samen met andere organisaties voor een internationaal verdrag dat een einde maakt aan het tijdperk van fossiele brandstoffen. We willen met het burgerinitiatief ‘Afscheid van Fossiel’ de Tweede Kamer oproepen om zich hard te maken voor zo'n bindend internationaal verdrag. Alleen zo kunnen we de opwarming van de aarde beperken en een leefbare planeet doorgeven aan onze kinderen. 🌍 Bij het behalen van 40.000 handtekeningen zetten we #AfscheidVanFossiel op de politieke agenda. ✍ Teken nu en roep de Tweede Kamer op zich in te zetten voor een bindend internationaal verdrag. Jouw handtekening kan het verschil maken. Lees meer en sluit je aan bij ons burgerinitiatief: https://lnkd.in/eKTVKzuc #AfscheidVanFossiel #TijdVoorActie #BurgerinitiatiefAfscheidVanFossiel
