Education is a human right.
Yet, young women & girls continue to face discrimination & marginalization in many countries, including unequal access to school.
See how @UN_Women works to promote inclusive education to achieve a better future for all: https://t.co/sGeLg3F6v0
I am really worried about Khalaf Abdul Rahman Abdulla Humaid Al-Romaith's forced repatriation to the #UAE. It is essential that his safety and rights to a fair trial are guaranteed. #KhalafalRomaithi#rights#Jordan
The need for justice & responsibility is highlighted by the prosecution of Iranian ambassador #Assadollah_Assadi, charged of planning a bomb attack that was prevented in #Belgium. Such conduct jeopardizes diplomatic conventions and endangers global security. #Diplomacy#Security
On May 23, armed #Houthi forces raided a private residence in Sanaa, where members of the #Bahai community were attending their annual national convention, and forcibly disappeared 17 Bahais, Their whereabouts and well-being have been unknown since. #Yemen
Devastated to hear about the tragic loss of yet another innocent #Palestinian life. The killing of #OmarMohammadAwadin simply riding his bike is an unspeakable act of violence. The international community must stand up and demand accountability! #Jeninraids#FreePalestine
Despite continuous attacks on #rights & #freedoms, targeting rights advocates, passing oppressive legislation, utilizing the criminal justice system as a tool for repression, the #UAE will use its #COP28 chairmanship in Dec to portray a false picture of openness and tolerance
The recent prisoners swap between #Belgium & #Iran raises concerns about hostage diplomacy as a part of Tehran's tactics. Even though freedom of political prisoners is the main goal, it's crucial to find alternative solutions & hold those who engage in such tactics accountable.
Three more protesters were recently put to death in #Iran on suspicion of murdering security personnel, which raises major questions about due process and impartial trials. We must ensure the rule of law is upheld and the rights of defendants protected in Iran. #ExecutionsinIran
Shocking reports reveal that #Israeliforces consistently use #Palestinian children as #humanshields, violating international law! This is a grave violation of their rights and a #warcrime. Immediate action must be taken to hold those responsible accountable! #OPT#Israel
The killing of 15-year-old #MohamedFaizBalhan by #Israeliforces in #Jericho is another tragic reminder of the escalating violence and loss of innocent lives. The cycle of unrest must end, and justice must prevail! https://t.co/Iq5IUPXEtX #OPT
