Recently, we were invited for a discussion on #ClimateChange. But our representative could not attend because it was in an inaccessible venue. One of the many ways we are excluded from #ClimateAction. We call on on governments, organisations, NGOs to do better! Include us!

Explosions across #Ukraine today. We are shocked & saddened by reports of casualties & a children's hospital struck in #Kyiv. This hospital provides life-saving treatment to thousands of children. Our thoughts are with those affected. No child should have to experience this💔
