Regjeringen må øke støtten til menneskerettigheter – ikke kutte den!

Menneskerettighetsbruddene i verden er store og menneskrettghetsforsvarer trenger mer støtte til sitt viktige arbeid slik verden er nå. @Regjeringen må være modigere og ta mer ansvar!

Con entusiasmo recibimos la visita de Mulki Makum de nuestro aliado en #Indonesia @asia_ajar.

Tuvimos un interesante dialogo sobre el trabajo de organizaciones en #Colombia y países del sudeste asiático en acceso a la justicia, lucha contra la impunidad y defensa de derechos.

We were excited to welcome Mulki Makum from our grantee partner @asia_ajar from #indonesia to our #Colombia office last week.
We had an interesting conversation about the work in Colombia and Southeast Asia on access to justice, the fight against impunity, and rights protection.

Menneskerettighetsforsvarere og demokrati får støtten tilbake. Godt jobba av @SVparti i budsjettforlik med regjeringen som sikrer at menneskerettighetsstøtten fra Norge opprettholdes i revidert nasjonalbudsjett! Dette er 60 millioner som vil bety mye for mange!

🧵 Every investor, business and sports federation thinking about engaging with #SaudiArabia should read this piece by @LinaAlhathloul.

"Saudi Arabia is rebranding itself as a moderate country, but what’s the truth? Just ask our female activists"

[Frank Conde Tangberg @frankctangberg]

When you want to assess the status quo in #SaudiArabia, can you, without risk, ask:
➡️women human rights defenders?❌
➡️migrant workers or their unions?❌
➡️independent media representatives?❌
➡️local human rights organizations?❌

What sort of stakeholder dialogue can you have?

🧵 Brazil is one of the world’s most dangerous countries for those who defend human rights and the environment.

Therefore, 150 organizations (incl. Amnesty) have called on Brazil to adopt the #EscazúAgreement

🧵 Don’t believe the hype - the human rights situation in #SaudiArabia (KSA) is deteriorating❗️

Despite introducing some positive reforms, MBS has strengthened his grip on power and anyone perceived as challenging his power is in trouble.
