Two examples:
1.a. Women’s organizing at the grassroots are often the prime responders to communities’ needs during times of unrest, write Daniel Wegner & @RosebellK. DE should realize their potential as political partners & support them accordingly.

1.b. At the same time, women human rights defenders are exposed to the risks of gender-specific harms, explain @ToniHaastrup & @MiriamMonaMue.

2. Pursue new approaches: a number of articles argued for the inclusion of intersectional challenges into the #WPS agenda.

3. #WPS in Germany: several authors criticized the missing domestic component in the #NAP. @Beth_Ferris writes that #WPS should not only matter in far-away conflict zones, but also when it comes to the rights & realities of #refugee women in https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇩🇪" title="Flagge von Deutschland" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Deutschland">: https://peacelab.blog/2020/04/seeing-refugee-women-as-resources-not-as-victims">https://peacelab.blog/2020/04/s...
