#IWD19
Vitalina Koval was violently attacked in 2017 & 2018 for standing up for women’s rights. But she won’t give up. @zakarpatczg

[Amnesty UK Rainbow Network @AmnestyUK_LGBTI]

LGBTI activists like Vitalina Koval from #Ukraine are at permanent risk of attacks by far-right groups. ⁦@AvakovArsen⁩, ensure hate crimes are effectively investigated & and prevented! #IStandWithVitalina, do you?

[Amnesty UK Children @AmnestyUK_CHRN]

Laws keeping families apart are a violation of UNCRC Art 9 + 10. Act now to keep #FamiliesTogether and #MakeRightsReal for #AllChildren

[Edinburgh Amnesty @EUAmnesty]

We will be campaigning for #FamiliesTogether on March 15th, outside the main library. Come join us and sign a letter to your MP!

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

A family-free zone? How ridiculous! But for some, it’s a reality.

Every day, ludicrous laws keep refugee families apart.

Call on @sajidjavid to change the law - & together we will help keep #FamiliesTogether. Act now 👉https://t.co/vfqCYxARUx

When we all act, humanity wins.

BREAKING: All 15 of the #Stansted15 have been convicted today. We stand in solidarity with them all. The rights and freedoms of all of us are being eroded. The UK should not be targeting human rights defenders in this way. Send the 15 a message of support: https://t.co/7eeOYhD6zH

[News From Amnesty @NewsFromAmnesty]

Today on #HumanRightsDay and the #UDHR70 anniversary @AmnestyUK launches its review of the state of human rights in 2018.

Despite "tough guy" world leaders pushing oppressive and sexist policies women are fighting back ✊🏽.
