At least 8,500 attacks on education took place globally in 2024-2025, a more than 40 percent increase from the previous two-year period, per a new report from @GCPEAtweets.

These attacks harmed over 10,600 students, teachers, and education personnel across 83 countries. https://t.co/0vkRUeck7j

🇭🇹As the @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres visits Haiti, we urge him to call for a comprehensive response that protects people and addresses the factors fueling violence and widespread abuses.

Security measures alone will not be enough.

The 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup was supposed to be the first-ever World Cup with a human rights framework. Instead, the US administration’s brutal immigration crackdown, discriminatory policies, and threats to press freedom mean the tournament risks being defined by exclusion and fear.

Altogether, the 2026 World Cup risks becoming a sportswashing bonanza for the Trump administration.

#UniversalJurisdiction 🇦🇷 🇪🇸 🇻🇪
In seeking Verdú Torrelles' extradition from 🇪🇸 for alleged crimes against humanity in 🇻🇪, Argentina sends a clear message: there should be no safe haven for those responsible for grave human rights violations.

Pride is not a threat; hate is.

At Human Rights Watch, we work for a world where all people can enjoy their rights fully. We must not stay silent — LGBT rights are human rights.

Happy #Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

⚽ It’s 2 weeks until the @FIFAWorldCup kicks off on June 11. This largest-ever sporting event is beloved by many, but is unfolding against a backdrop of abusive ICE enforcement in the US, threats to media freedom, discrimination, and unmet human rights commitments by FIFA+16 host cities.

Planning to attend or watch?

Check out @HRW’s new "Reporters’ Guide to Covering the 2026 World Cup," for the 50,000+ journalists covering the events—and fans who want to be informed about the human rights of host nations
(🏆 yes, the cover is the ignominious “FIFA Peace Prize”!) https://t.co/vHcAoxKpSy

The US government has deported over 4,300 Cubans, many of them long-time Florida residents, to Mexico, denying them due process and leaving many stranded without access to basic services or a pathway to legal status.

NEW: The United States government’s abrupt cuts to nearly all US foreign aid in 2025 harmed the global human rights movement and put countless people at risk.

While no government is obligated to provide foreign aid, the way the US terminated assistance caused foreseeable harm and demands accountability.

Venezuela’s new amnesty law falls notably short of ensuring the release of anyone arbitrarily detained for political reasons.

What’s worse, its unfair and opaque implementation has further undermined whatever limited promise it held.

Journalism is not a crime. Governments should take note.

From warring parties targeting journalists in Yemen to a Hong Kong Court’s conviction of former publisher Jimmy Lai, there are steep efforts to curtail free speech worldwide. This is precisely why we must speak out.

On World Press Freedom Day, we continue to fight all forms of repression of speech, in all media, around the globe. #WorldPressFreedomDay

The US Supreme Court's decision in "Louisiana v. Callais" is a devastating blow to critical civil rights protections that risks undermining the Voting Rights Act once again.

Voting is a human right. It should be protected.

The US military said it attacked another boat in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, killing three people, per @nytimes: https://t.co/Gw1Ohe1OIS

These strikes aren’t one-off incidents, they’re part of a pattern of using military force where the law does not permit it, over and over again.

On April 23, it was 1,677 days. It will be more when you read this.

That’s the number of days girls in Afghanistan have been banned, by Taliban, from study beyond 6th grade. There is an opportunity right now for every country to do something about this. https://t.co/LTFXfsmhQF

🚨📰The International Criminal Court (ICC)’s confirmation on April 23, 2026, of all crimes against humanity charges against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is a major step toward justice for the victims of the country’s “war on drugs.”

ICC judges have rejected Rodrigo Duterte’s appeal, confirming that the ICC does have jurisdiction over the crimes against humanity case against Duterte. #Philippines https://t.co/u2dGxDCylb

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established in 1970, following the first #EarthDay, with a clear mission to protect human health and the environment. But, since President Donald Trump’s second term began, rapid-fire policy shifts have pivoted the agency away from public health.

This Earth Day arrives at a sobering moment. Yet, states and advocates are challenging the legality of these changes, and our collective voices remain a powerful tool to reclaim a future where government policy protects every life and community.

Protecting our planet means protecting human rights. 🌎✊
