Gender-based violence is a public health crisis YouTube video by WHO European Region

840 million women have faced partner or sexual violence in their lifetime 👉 lnkd.in/d-5UGtwH

For decades, figures have remained unchanged.
Instead of campaigns addressing violence against women, I want the campaigns to address violence committed by men.

Book by Jane Goodall printed in 1972, with her autograph

Meeting #JaneGoodall back in 2017 was an unforgettable experience, and my mum's book from 1972 got her signature in it.

She wasn't impressed by its age and had little patience for small talk. She had a single focus: protecting this earth and its earthlings.

Thank you.
