"We want, I think, as a country for everyone to believe that they can do things like sit on the Supreme Court," Jackson told California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. "And so having meaningful numbers of women and people of colour, I think, matters. I also think it supports public confidence in the judiciary when you have different people because we have such a diverse society."

U.S. Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, in the first day of questioning from senators, forcefully defended herself from accusations from at least two Republicans that she handed out lenient sentences to defendants convicted of possessing child po*******hy.

"Last September, a lawsuit asking the Constitutional Court of Colombia to decriminalize abortion was filed by the Causa Justa — or Just Cause — movement, a coalition of which the Center for Reproductive Rights is a part. We argued that abortion is essential health care that should not be regulated in the penal system. The court also asked Congress to create regulations to apply the ruling. In a transformative shift for the majority-Catholic country, we are now the third country in Latin America to decriminalize abortion in the last year, behind Mexico and Argentina"

A decade ago, few could have imagined that Latin America would become a benchmark for advances in sexual and reproductive rights.

"Some of them are taking care of kids, some of them are helping the army, some of them are joining the army. Ukrainian women know how to put up a good fight. They are beautiful and resilient. They are stubborn, persistent, hardworking and most importantly, very brave,"

International Women's Day is a day that is widely celebrated across Ukraine, but this year, Ukrainian women are taking up arms to defend their homeland.

"Women – in uniform and not – have been central to efforts to counter Russian aggression since 2014, when Moscow decided to annex Crimea and threw its support behind separatists in the Donbass region. Women now make up almost 10% of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, serve alongside men in combat positions, and are ensured “equal rights” with their male counterparts under a 2018 law. Since 2019, they have been able to study in military colleges to achieve higher ranks."

Some stereotypes persist, but gender roles have been evolving fast in Ukraine’s military, amid a conflict with Russia that has simmered since 2014.
