“…the arc is long. Whether it bends toward justice will depend not only on the patience of its architects, but on their courage to push past the point where pragmatism becomes paralysis” Thanks @KalaniWrites for weaving through the multiple issues confronting #SriLanka

I really like this initiative. Do the work you need to do in class or as part of a (free) school-initiative. One reason that teachers do tuition is bec of ↘️ wages. I hope we will see even a marginal ⬆️ in the next budget. #SriLanka

I too engage in spontaneous acts like restocking the fridge and other “frivolous” habits 😌 හිහි. Cause people only notice this critical work when it stops happening. If only unpaid, feminized tasks like household errands counted as “productive work.”Wild concept… I know.

This 👇🏽 + the emotional labour women undertake in guiding men through unlearning ingrained behaviours. While achieving equality at home requires shared effort, the emotional burden of facilitating this change often rests heavily on women.

Grateful to @LSE_ID and the CYHU team for having me on their podcast 🎙️ We explored how peer support + informal networks can make a world of difference for first-gen grads navigating uncharted waters. Listen on @ApplePodcasts, @Spotify or any major streaming platform.

Fascinating read from @TheEconomist on why young men + women are drifting apart. I wonder if this trend, fuelled by the "manosphere," partly extends to the Global South? A compelling case for policies that reduce the unpaid care burden on women, alongside better public education.

Tea industry's profits are based on 200 years of slavery, disenfranchisement and exploitation. So if the plantation owners say it can't survive the wage hike to Rs. 1700 then so be it. Adapt or collapse. We don't need your brand of 'success'

#Gaza has become hell on earth. Families continue to seek refuge, trying to escape war, but there is no such thing as a safe place in the Gaza Strip. No one is safe: not civilians, not aid workers, no one has been spared. We need a #CeasefireNow.

As a board-certified urologist that specializes in sexual health for ALL sexes... I mean this when I say "medical sexism is real." Men and women are not getting the same level of care, access to care or even scientific integrity in their care.

Reminded of Grace Nichols' poetry: “No it isn't easy to forget / What we refuse to remember.” What might inclusive processes of accountability, reconciliation, dignity, and the democratization of memory really look like? Pressing questions that persist.

About 1 in 4 women report engaging in sex acts that felt physically painful, mostly penetrative intercourse, finds a 2019 US study. Many women just accepted that sex would be painful, downplayed the pain, prioritised male partners’ enjoyment, or felt should please partners. 1/2

Women are neglected by the medical system in almost every way. Women are more likely to die from almost every illness and disease than men are because medical science is studied on men, not women, with very few exceptions. Science knows little about female bodies and the…

We want ppl to "work hard" & "not live on welfare" and yet this dispossession of the working class poor in Colombo from their homes and places of business in a bid to become a world class city keeps thousands of people in the city in a state of permanent crisis.

Women living in Sri Lanka wanting to bring down that list aren't trying to hate on their country for doing well. It's more about them looking out for their own from a misplaced perception of safety. I for one want to us to be number 1 but that’s starts with us listening..
