A collective of feminist activists and over 600 women’s rights
organisations from around the world came together to put pressure on the
United Nations (UN) following their partnership with BlackRock Inc - one
of the world’s most lucrative investing firms. 

BlackRock Inc is the largest known holder of debt in the Global South, and
invests in development projects that directly cause environmental
destruction and irreparable harm to indigenous communities and rural
women. 

[ [link removed] ]Their campaign was a success and the UN ended the partnership. This is
a huge victory for women's rights movements and activism! 

Read on for more examples of women and girls making a difference, as well
as how we can fight climate change. 👇🏾👇🏻👇🏿

People changing the World: Lilia Touil

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

My name is Lilia Touil, I am 22 years old, and I live in Paris. I’m a
master's student in International and European law at the Université Paris
Cité. 

Coming from an underprivileged background without the same access to
opportunities as my peers, I developed a sensitivity to human rights and a
desire to help people so they don’t have to live through the same
experience.

Can you tell us about the work you do?

Together with my studies, I am also gaining experience in advocacy work as
an activist for ONE in France and for the Global Partnership for Education
(GPE).

As a ONE Activist, I co-led a group effort with other activists to write
an open letter to the French president urging him to support education for
children living in extreme poverty through the GPE. I also met with
several French deputies to raise awareness and gain their support.

Last year, as part of ONE’s Europe-Africa Task force, I collaborated with
African and European activists on proposals for education, health, job
creation, transparency, and other key areas to renew the Europe/Africa
partnership ahead of the Europe Africa Summit last February. We met with
African and European decision-makers to present our demands.

As a national [ [link removed] ]youth leader with GPE,  I recently took part in the
[ [link removed] ]pre-summit on transformation at UNESCO in Paris, where I delivered a
speech on the importance of investing in education for young people, and
especially for young women.

Why is ending extreme poverty and preventable disease important to you?

Being aware of the difficulties some people face makes us realise how
lucky we are. I believe that everyone should have access to the same
possibilities no matter where they come from. Extreme poverty denies
access to fundamental rights like health and education. 

I know that changing the world can seem idealistic, but I believe that any
action, no matter how small, can make a change.

How do you stay motivated to do this work? And how do you like to spend
your time outside work?

At times, it can be hard to stay motivated and active. I take time to
realise the efforts I’ve made and remember how far I’ve come. My mother
used to tell me, “where there is life, there is hope.” 

I draw strength from my personal story and from the hope and resilience I
see in the people I meet, and want to inspire in others. That’s what I
hope to do through the [ [link removed] ]podcast I recently launched called Eye Face
Hope.

Outside of work, I love listening to music, podcasts, reading, going to
cultural places like museums, and attending conferences. I enjoy
connecting with people with similar interests from around the world, which
is something I’m lucky to be able to do as a ONE activist.
