Respect the effort. Support the progress. Not just on 1 day #IWD #8Marzo #8mars Respect & Progress. Not just on 1 day #IWD26 #IWD2026 #CSW70 #DomesticAbuse #CSA Nurture the flame 🔥 Bring Equity with Peace 🫒 Access to Justice for Women Access to Justice for their Children

Not just one day Every day We live it We speak it We write it We sing it We nurture it

Every society an alchemy A synthesis of contrasts The power dynamics The games people play The Light and Dark The Love and the Underworld We barely scratch the surface as a tourist A whole Lifetime is needed to SEE the surface and deep structures

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

Three panels showing a bench on a small hill in London on a grey drizzly day. A man in a fedora carrying a suitcase arrives, then he is joined by a woman carrying an umbrella and a man in dark glasses reading a newspaper. They all look shifty and hurriedly converse:
"Good."
"Very."
"Agreed."
Then they all walk off down the hill.
