[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Last week I visited Nigeria with @AminaJMohammed to meet girls and @MalalaFund Education Champions and learn about their work to improve education access in their country and give every young woman a chance to reach her full potential.

“Nelson Mandela was a colossus of courage and conviction.

A leader of immense achievement and extraordinary humanity.

A giant of our times, whose legacy we best honour through action.” – @antonioguterres on the #NelsonMandelaDay

[United Nations @UN]

"Racism must be opposed by all means that humanity has at its disposal."

Speaking at UNHQ in 1990, Nelson Mandela encouraged all people to take action to #FightRacism and create a more equal world.

Tuesday is #MandelaDay. https://t.co/g3tnavs79U

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Former secretary of state Henry Kissinger, the 100-year-old who was at the heart of the United States’ rapprochement with China half a century ago, made a surprise visit to Beijing at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries. https://t.co/dduXblhJCf

Say it louder for the people in the back 📢

Wearing a hijab should never be forced or banned ✊

[The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy @TimepDC]

We thank @USCIRF's Chair for urgently calling attention to the 3 year sentence handed down to @EIPR researcher and academic Patrick Zaki and calling for his immediate release at the @HouseForeign hearing on religious freedom today. #FreePatrick #FreePatrickZaki

[Dr. Nina Ansary @drninaansary]

Dr. Aida Rostami would have turned 37 today. She was tortured and beaten to death by Islamic Republic security forces in December 2022.
Her crime: Saving lives of injured protesters.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israeli forces attacked three hospitals during a two-day assault on the Jenin refugee camp, putting the lives of newborn Palestinian babies in incubators at risk ⤵️

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

As if they have learned nothing from months of mass demonstrations against their retrograde, repressive rule, Iranian authorities say that their "morality police" will resume patrols to enforce their mandatory hijab laws for women. https://t.co/g7w7cUChIP

[Nathan Brooks @NathanB77503651]

Sickened by the horrifying act of using #Palestinian #children as human shields by #Israeli forces. This is a gross violation of human rights and a flagrant disregard for the lives of innocent children. Justice must be served for these heinous crimes! https://t.co/53eaziCUeW

[Patrick Moore @moorepatrick283]

Disturbing report reveals the #Taliban's treatment of #women in #Afghanistan, labeling it as a crime against humanity of gender persecution. This is a grave violation of #humanrights and an urgent call for action! The international community must protect #Afghanwomenandgirls!

[Judy Fox @JudyFox67974065]

This is indeed a historic victory! Shockingly, in #Europe, almost 50% of countries do not criminalise #sexwithoutconsent, although they have all ratified the #IstanbulConvention. Sex without consent is #rape! https://t.co/NJX8Ufq2vD

[Bob Beckman @BobBeckman94]

#Children as young as 12 have been detained for attacking law enforcement, setting fires, during 6 nights of violence after the fatal police shooting of 17-year-old #NahelMerzouk in suburban Paris. The average age of the 3,354 people arrested over the past week was 17! #France

[Emilie Christensen @EmilieChris2019]

The #UK government has downplayed #M23 atrocities and #Rwanda’s appalling #rights record & the risks #asylumseekers may face there in order to falsely present its new policy on their forced transfer as a reasonable and safe solution. #refugeerights https://t.co/9vKWISiYw3

[Humanity & Inclusion U.S. @HI_UnitedStates]

The Biden Administration is expected to announce today that it will transfer #ClusterMunitions to #Ukraine.

"Make no mistake: civilians will bear the brunt of this decision over the coming decades." - @Jeff_HIUS

[Maria Cooper @MariaCo46285889]

#POTUS decision to transfer #clusterbombs to #Ukraine would inevitably cause long-term suffering for civilians, undermine the int'l efforts against #clustermunitions use. The end DOES NOT justify the means, particularly if it is a #warcrime! @HRW https://t.co/nBhpzFIv6l

[Dennis Sanford @dennissanford02]

Shameful decision by the #BidenAdministration! All civilized nations have banned production, sale, use of #clustermunitions. Once again, we think that we are exceptional and that, if the #US does it, it's not a war crime?! #Ukraine @banclusterbombs https://t.co/zJXcGJd4kH

[Emilie Christensen @EmilieChris2019]

Distressing accounts by #female #politicalprisoners in #Egypt on the ill-treatment they received in prison. More than 200 female political prisoners are in Egyptian prisons at the moment, as reported by the Till the Last Prisoner Campaign! @TimepDC https://t.co/bW067Cfirj

[Emilie Christensen @EmilieChris2019]

#MuhammadHaithamalTamimi, a 3-yr-old #Palestinian toddler who was shot in head in the #WestBank by the #Israeli troops 3 days ago, has died. His little body could not fight any more. This is so heartbreaking! #justiceforMuhammad https://t.co/meAaJ9It0r
