“Tech facilitated gender based violence doesn’t happen because of technology, it happens because of the gender norms in society” - said Marie-Simone Kadurira in this panel last Tuesday. Through my work and research on advancing women's representation in politics, I’ve seen how gender-based violence against politicians is highly normalized and remains one of the most critical and urgent challenges to address. That’s why it’s always inspiring to engage with individuals and organizations contributing meaningful insights and solutions to this issue. At Apolitical Foundation, our solutions-focused approach—alongside the efforts of many others (The Accelerator for Gender Based Violence Prevention, Strategic Advocacy for Human Rights (SAHR) and other) —keeps me motivated to continue this work. Thank you, Vania Pigeonutt, Catalina Domínguez, Marie-Simone Kadurira and Cäcilia Riederer!

How do we #Restore #Hope in #PoliticalLeadership? Over the past month, I’ve had the privilege of leading workshops and speaking on panels across #France, the #UK, the #US, and #Germany, engaging global audiences to explore how we can reimagine #politics in a time when #democracy faces profound challenges. The past few weeks have been particularly meaningful co-designing and facilitating thought-provoking workshops such as "Should We Replace Politicians with #AI?" (part of our #PoliticianforADay training) at the #ApoliticalDay organized with Apolitical in #London, and collaborating with my brilliant colleagues Rebekah Ison and Natalia Herbst to reflect on pluralism and provide practical tools and frameworks for understanding our individual roles in "How to Make Progress in Polarized Times?", a workshop delivered at the Obama Foundation #DemocracyForum in Chicago to end my year (before a much wished-for holiday back in #Peru). At the Apolitical Foundation, we’re building a global, non-partisan movement with 80+ organizations to address critical challenges: rebuilding trust between #citizens and #politicalleaders (#CircularPowerPolitics), fostering supportive and safe environments for #politicians to thrive, and upskilling #changemakers with the tools they need to drive meaningful, lasting impact within their #PoliticalLeadershipIncubators. Thank you to everyone working tirelessly to strengthen democracy. 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year of projects and partnerships—let’s keep building together!

🔥 SOLUTIONS IN FOCUS: How can we foster safer digital environments for women in public and political life? 🎤 Join us NEXT WEEK for a panel discussion featuring experts like: • Vania Pigeonutt, an independent journalist covering Mexico, • Marie-Simone Kadurira of The Accelerator for Gender Based Violence Prevention, and • Catalina Domínguez of Strategic Advocacy for Human Rights (SAHR). 🚨 Seats are limited!

The topic I have been obsessed with for the last few years now has its own summit, thanks to Locale Learning! I know first hand the impact that low mental wellbeing can have on my ability to function - it impacts me and those around me. But, imagine feeling burned out, anxious, and attacked all while your decisions and actions impact hundreds, thousands, potentially millions of peoples' lives. Political wellbeing is something we need to address. I'm really looking forward to joining Anna Miley Emma Broomfield and my fellow speakers at the Political Wellbeing Summit in February.
