Great news in #Japan! A Japanese district court has ruled that not allowing same-sex couples to marry is “unconstitutional” as it breaches the right to equality. This is the first ruling of its kind on the legality of same-sex marriages in Japan - a positive step forward. 🏳️‍🌈

Profits at @amazon have soared during #COVID19 but workers are struggling for safe working conditions. Workers speaking up are targeted and intimidated. Email CEO @JeffBezos and tell him to respect workers' rights! #OrganizeAmazon https://t.co/iRxmAMqR4L

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says he values #Amazon workers. Then why are staff who are trying to organize for better working conditions being targeted and harassed? Email @JeffBezos & tell him to #LetWorkersOrganize .

My piece this week. Two women tell horrific tales of how pregnant women, sometimes have to bribe their way to gain admission into a maternity ward. Thankfully the judge ordered the reopening of Harare clinics for easy access by pregnant women.

Our new infographics, produced in partnership with @GlobalSexWork, examine the human rights violations behind ‘End Demand’ laws. Although the negative effects of these laws are well documented, they continue to be presented as a progressive response to trafficking and sex work.

2 uterine ruptures, 2 stillbirths and 1 maternal/table death... All that in one morning. I'm numb, exhausted and frustrated. There's a little boy waiting for his mother to come home with their new baby, a husband for his wife, a mother for her daughter 💔 @MoHCCZim THIS IS WRONG!

[Steve Cockburn @stevecockburn]

Today we @Amnesty have published data from 79 countries showing that *at least* 3,000 health workers have paid the ultimate price in their efforts to protect us from #COVID19. A figure that is likely to underestimate the true scale of sacrifice. This thread tells you more…
