Imagine needing a cesarean and the surgeon says, "I have no anesthesia, I don't even have water or soap to wash my hands, but I am going to try to save your life."
Wow. This is London right now.
Even as the UK government threatens to crack down on pro-Palestine activists and protesters, the masses come out in support of Gaza 🇵🇸
Hi!
Do you think the Global North's power influence in community empowerment projects is potentially derailing the self-reliance capacity of our community members?
Feel free to leave me with the links or studies or article that have been done in the same issue.

Migration is not a problem.
If properly managed by all countries involved, it can be a huge resource that can benefit all and help address humanitarian emergencies.

Refugees management can be difficult for a country which is battling economic instability but we don’t want to violate another series of human rights by sending the protected civilians to the war-zone.
Hundreds of Syrian refugees have returned home under a voluntary programme coordinated by Lebanon’s General Security.
The programme has raised concerns from rights groups that the scheme may involve elements of coercion ⤵️

Strong political efforts for solving conflicts and displacement should be the long term goal. As a responsible entity, our primary focus should be ensuring proper transition to the displaced. #refugeerights
103 million people have been forced to flee persecution, conflict, violence or human rights violations in the first half of this year alone.
@Refugees is calling for stronger political effort to solve conflicts & prevent displacement.

#8763atUC#Neocolonialism today is in the form of mindset and that’s even worse as it has got the potential to shape the larger policies and trends around the world. And if the larger forums like European Union replicate such mindset, developing world is at risk!
The rights of children are in the most vulnerable state in after-war zones. It is important to lead the agendas of #reconstruction in such a situation, but it's parallelly important to focus on #disarmment#demobilization and #integration of child soldiers #DDR#8763atUC

More than anywhere, Afghanistan itself needs its girls in school. The gender-biased breaching of #humanrights is pushing the country further away from the much-needed upliftment.
I am extremely concerned by the continued exclusion of girls from school in Afghanistan.
This is deeply damaging to girls themselves & to a country that desperately needs their energy & contributions.
This #DayOfTheGirl, I once again urge the Taliban to let girls learn.
#8763atUC#Peacebuiding should always focus upon sustainability of the actions. It is commendable that forum like Peace Shapers is focusing upon education, service learning and required advocacy for the lasting impact and sustainability.
Killed for taking an exam. Unimaginable in other contexts, a horrific daily reality for Afghan women and girls. The violence against Afghan women and girls must stop immediately.

Children are the least responsible for any form of warfare but they are the most affected ones. This act of #genocide is a threat to #security and is a big slap on the face of #SDGs.
UNICEF is appalled by the horrific attack, early this morning, inside the Kaaj Educational Center in the Dasht-e-Barchi district of West #Kabul, #Afghanistan.
This heinous act claimed the lives of dozens of adolescent girls and boys and severely injured many more.
Day 367 of Taliban’s ban on girls’ education.🇦🇫
“ Show your solidarity with me & millions of Afghan girls.
You must work together to demand the reopening of the girls schools & also protect our rights.”-@FaruqiSomaya

@TwaamboMainde This should come under humanitarian aid as the country is still on the war. Both the process of #peacebuilding or #peacemaking occurs when the war is ceasing or when both parties are in the situation of agreement. Isn’t it? Correct me if I am confused here!
Everyone has a right to practice a religion of their choice. No one should be forced to change their ethnicity and culture. Violations of basic #humanrights should be stopped!!
Restrictions on women rights is one of the most derogatory step of the 21st century and challenges the long achieved progress in #humanrights and #SDGs.

We spoke to Afghan women about the situation in #Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover in 2021.
'There are more restrictions on what we should say, and do, and wear, and who we interact with,' says Najma who is a professor in Afghanistan.

@TwaamboMainde Definitely it does have right. But rights for what and who is the question here. If Israel is exercising the rights by limiting the humanitarian assistance for the much needed then I wouldn’t resist from saying, no they cannot do that! What do you think?
