“I wish we could return to our homes and that the displacement would stop.” Nine-year-old Fatima and other children displaced in Lebanon by the recent war share their dreams and hopes with UNICEF’s Ted Chaiban. An average of at least 19,000 girls and boys are now displaced every single day in Lebanon. UNICEF is providing essential services for children on the ground, but what they really need is an end to the violence.

We're so screwed as a society.
🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone. And it's making you a worse person because of it. Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would. That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear. It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on. Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one. The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started. Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product. This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens. Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing. You're right. They're wrong. Even when the opposite is true.

A belated Happy International Women’s Day, I guess. Today is meant to be a celebration, but it’s impossible to celebrate when so many women and girls are still fighting for the most basic right: to live in safety, free from fear and #violence. #IWD2026

As long as women & girls experience violence, no country can truly develop. Violence erodes public health, fractures communities, weakens the human capital needed to rebuild communities and economies, and destroys the very foundation needed for peace, stability & progress.

Violence against women is not a side issue. It is not secondary to policy debates or geopolitical tensions. It is the most urgent and pervasive human rights violation of our time, and eliminating it must be our most important objective. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #Equality

Nearly 700,000 people – including about 200,000 children – have been displaced in Lebanon in just 10 days of war in the Middle East, according to UNICEF. Food and fuel prices are surging as the conflict spreads across the region. news.un.org/en/story/2026/03…

Everything must be done to prevent a further escalation in the Middle East. I call on all sides to strictly uphold their obligations under international law, including the @UN Charter, protect civilians & ensure nuclear safety. Let’s act responsibly & together to pull the region & our world back from the brink.

Just a reminder that you are doing your best, and that’s more than enough. It’s okay to take it one day at a time.

When girls feel safe in every space, online and offline, they can learn, express themselves and become who they want to be. Safety is more than protection. It gives them the confidence to explore opportunities and realise their potential. All spaces should be safe for every girl. No exceptions. #NoExcuse

Unspeakable suffering in Tawila. Over half of the fleeing survivors are children. One injured woman I met walked into the camp after surviving an attack, carrying her friend's starving child. They're asking the world if help is coming. wapo.st/47HBZa7

Protecting children is our most sacred duty. No girl or boy should ever be a victim of sexual violence — one of the most despicable violations of human rights. Let us strengthen protection systems, support survivors, and confront impunity — wherever it hides. #EndChildAbuse

The Adolescent Man Box study conducted in Australia by @JesuitSocialSer offers critical insights for practitioners, policymakers and educators to inform programs & practices to prevent #violence + contribute to broader conversations about #genderequality. jss.org.au/programs/the-adol…

Conformity to Man Box norms is linked to poorer #relationship quality. Boys inside the Box are more likely to endorse or perpetrate #bullying, harassment, even intimate partner #violence. They often struggle to form close, supportive #friendships, as openness is discouraged.

The Adolescent Man Box Report underscores the importance of challenging harmful #norms and supporting #boys to develop more authentic, equitable, and emotionally healthy identities for their own wellbeing and for advancing #genderequality.
21
Boys inside the Man Box report higher levels of psychological distress, e.g., anxiety. They are less likely to seek help for #mentalhealth issues due to stigma around vulnerability. These boys are more likely to engage in risky behaviors to assert #masculinity or cope w/stress.

The pressure to conform to Man Box norms can negatively affect educational attainment. Boys who feel compelled to “prove” their #masculinity may disengage from #school. These pressures can also lead to higher #dropout rates and lower #aspirations.
