Great news. These #StandardsForEqualityBodies are key to ensuring effectiveness of these bodies. The @EqualRights + @UNHumanRights Practical Guide to Developing Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Legislation identifies them as THE global gold standard. Kudos to @equineteurope.

What a great step towards a #UnionOfEquality!🎉 Yesterday, the @EUCouncil agreed on a General Approach to the @EU_Commission's proposals on #StandardsForEqualityBodies, which will make #EqualityBodies better equipped to achieve #Equality. More resources on Standards ⬇️

It was a real privilege to attend the inaugural Jonathan Cooper Memorial Lecture on Friday and hear a rousing call to arms, action and anger from @Richie_Jackson. Inspirational. Thanks to Richie, @HelenMountfield, @MansfieldOxford and @BonaveroIHR.

I'm honored to be giving the Inaugural Jonathan Cooper Memorial Lecture tomorrow March 10th, at The University of Oxford. My lecture will strip away the rainbow-tinted veneer of what it looks like to be LGBTQ+ today, exposing the glorious but treacherous reality. @MansfieldOxford

The Holocaust did not begin with mass murder. That's where it ended up. ➡️ Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes start with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority. ➡️ Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.
