This week, we’ve been in Westminster for #InternationalWomensDay & to celebrate the progress made by women’s rights leaders for gender equality.
But progress is under threat & the rollback on women’s rights is happening now, across the world.

Does this stat shock you? It should!
We’re calling on the Government to do all it can to #ProtectProgress on gender equality. Sign our open letter to the Foreign Secretary: act.careinternational.org.uk/open-letter-...
Decisions are better when they include everyone, and Jennifer shows us how women stepping up makes politics more accessible for all of us.
What's a positive change you've seen from having more diverse voices in your area? #ProtectProgress

Calling yourself a #feminist matters. But backing it with sustained investment in women and girls matters even more.
Future UK Aid cuts are being decided right now. You can write to the Foreign Secretary today to make sure women and girls' rights are protected: careint.uk/3XHNqsF

Colorado’s wolf restoration is at risk. Despite close coordination with CPW, USFWS is threatening a federal takeover—risking delays and lost momentum with fewer than 50 wolves left. Urge USFWS to work with CPW and allow additional wolves from Canada.

New Year, same us.
Still fighting for gender equality.
Still supporting women everywhere.
Still hoping for a fairer and more equal world for all.

Progress for women and girls wasn’t accidental — it was built over decades by people fighting for fairness, safety and opportunity. The UK helped support that progress but in 2025 it’s buffering: funding cuts, rights rolling back, violence rising.
We must #ProtectProgress. Join us.
We’re at a global turning point. One path leads to stronger rights, safer communities, and a world where women and girls can thrive.
The other drives us backwards - to rising violence, eroded rights, and lost opportunities.
The UK must #ProtectProgress: https://careint.uk/4oMu94p
Gender equality needs to be at the centre of foreign policy, rather than at its margins.
Historically, the UK has played an important role in standing with women & girls, but in 2025, progress is stalling.
It's now more important than ever to #ProtectProgress because equality can't wait.
Misusing DEI as a scapegoat undermines real progressive movements. Let’s protect these initiatives and promote meaningful advancements toward a just society! ⚖️ #ProtectProgress #JustSociety
🖤✊🏾 #Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—but I’m uneasy.
🚨DEI is being erased
🚓Democratic leaders arrested
🗿MLK removed from the White House
💸Minority grants slashed
📉Progress rolled back
This feels like 1965, not 2025.
⚠️We must stay WOKE. Stay LOUD. Stay UNITED.
#StillWeRise #ProtectProgress
The next generation shouldn't have fewer rights than we did.
We owe it to them to stand up, speak out, and fight back.
Progress shouldn’t be reversed—it should be protected.

The DOJ civil rights division has majorly downsized focus is on anti Christian bias, white discrimination, trans sports. The DOJ H. Dillon tweets 12x day, podcasts, media, etc..guess there is not a lot of work in this area! So sad that the focus is always on issues that don't exist! #protectprogress

The Beijing Platform of Action called for universal access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities—because human rights mean having the power for everyone to make choices about their bodies, their future and their lives.

Women, LGBTQ+, and people of color drive innovation, making up 70% of the U.S. workforce. 💼🌍 But Project 2025 threatens our progress, risking $4.3 trillion in lost GDP by 2030.

DEI & EEOC are gone. Executive Order 2025-14 just wiped out decades of progress. Discrimination now has a legal backdoor. Silence is not an option. #ProtectProgress
