BLACK WOMEN FOR BLACK LIVES (BW4BL)

This group started by 3 accidental activists Korrine Sky, Tokunbo Koiki and Patricia Daley has been amplifying the stories of black students affected by the Ukrainian crisis. They also have a GOFUNDME appeal, which I have donated to. To date the group says it has supported over 1200 black students whose lives have been upended by this crisis.

Isha Sesay is a Goodwill Ambassador for UNFPA and they deserve to be spotlighted for the incredible work they are doing in Ukraine. A number of maternity hospitals have been bombed by the Russians - the images rightly shocked the world. It is a fact that  women and girls face their own specific threats and challenges whenever conflict breaks out. Check out the work that UNFPA is doing on the ground via their website and you can also donate to support their efforts
