We cannot move fast enough on the #climatecrisis without the courageous activism of individuals & groups pushing for change. Protecting their right to protest without fear of criminalisation is both a #humanrights obligation and key to ensuring our planet’s & people’s future.

Our world is a tapestry of diversity. If we pick at the threads, it will fall apart. We must protect the rights of all people. We need to take urgent action to ensure that international legal standards created to protect minorities become reality.

Women of colour can.
Women of colour have.
Women of colour will.
Women of colour are making HERstory.

They are defying stereotypes & shaping today's 🌍. But they need equal chances to reach their dreams. It's time to #LearnSpeakUpAct to #FightRacism & stand for #GenderEquality.

It is the “disregard & contempt for human rights” that “have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind”. This is what the #UDHR states, it is what I believe, and it is what I hear from human rights defenders around the world. #UDHR75 #HumanRightsDay

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

Even where the challenges seem intractable, if leaders would only centre their responses on human rights, the solutions will be always within sight. UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk briefs the press on global human rights issues ahead of #HumanRightsDay: https://t.co/HPm2IhfSRz

Women human rights defenders and feminist movements must have access to safe spaces online and offline. Women, in all their diversity, must have their voice heard loud & clear to shape stronger, more inclusive and just societies. #16Days

[UN Women Geneva @unwomengeneva]

The High Commissioner of Human Rights @volker_turk joins the #16Days campaign to take action to end violence against women and girls. Thank you for your commitment to women’s human rights and we look forward to working with you! #OrangeGeneva #OrangeTheWorld

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Deep gratitude towards feminist movements for defending the rights of every human being. Your colossal contribution to ending discrimination and violence against women globally, in all their diversity, can never be erased.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

There is a growing chasm between people and the institutions that serve them. The rise in social movements & protests is a clear sign of this trust crisis. Strong institutions, genuine participation and free civic space serve as scaffolding for rebuilding trust and democracy.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

We are all born free and equal. On this Gurpurab, let us remember Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings that all of humanity is one, everyone is equal. Happy Gurpurab to all Sikhs.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Dear @ElonMusk, we both care about free speech. Here's a thread with some thoughts on how you can protect #FreeSpeech (and other rights too!) on @Twitter 👇
