Jemimah Njuki

This year's International Day of Rural Women comes at a difficult time, marked by significant pushback against gender equality – from funding cuts to disagreements over fundamental principles of gender equality and inclusion.

Tariff threats are not the way

The world today does not need another tariff war. What it needs is trust rebuilt through reason, engagement, and respect. In an age of shared destinies, no country can claim exclusive rights to development or dictate the pace of another's progress.
