@EComo85 @paulcam1966 @SkyNews Actually many don't. The level of misinformation and false nationalism is deep.

@nii_ugre They need to be named! Enough of this. So exhausting.

[The Advocate @TheAdvocateMag]

The Advocate has an exclusive look at an investigation from @FrontLineHRD, with testimonies from 50 LGBTIQ & sex workers rights defenders in 13 countries.

The findings? A radical spike in physical attacks, sexual assault & harassment by security forces during COVID-19. #IDEVASW

Looking forward to the festival #tech talk & learning about how #WHRDs can mitigate online violence #defamation #DublinAHRF @FrontLineHRD @Smashing_Times

@neilosands But likely they are needed where they are. Maybe support them in their local efforts.

Proud to be working alongside @FrontLineHRD team as we celebrate #whrds globally! Inspiration that women defenders give us is what drives us to continue this work! #WomenSupportingWomen #FeministFuture

This #InternationalWomensDay, we share with you the work of incredible woman #humanrights defenders making #GenerationEquality a reality around the world - often at great personal risk. #IWD2020

Proud of all trans women fighting for #WomensRights despite many obstacles because of their visibility... Feminism is not possible without full inclusion of our trans sisters! #TransWomenareWomen #InternationalWomensDay

3. Women and health
Malak Al-Kashif was detained in #Torah men's prison for her peaceful #humanrights work & denied medical treatment when she was unable to obtain official papers reflecting her gender. #Generationequality must mean equality for all women.

Unpacking connections between online and offline #GBV, women experience the same violence except more intensified online #SIF2019 @jhybe

[Meerim Ilyas @MeerimKG]

Interesting polemic on the good and the bad... But wishing more #HRDs were in the plenary, and more space to the only #POC & from the #GlobalSouth #SIF19

[Ibtihal @Ibtihal4Gaza]

If the @EU is distrustful to US social platforms, they should address that issue and come up with a new alternative. There is a gap there and the EU fails to fill the gap #SIF19

@RyeYoungster @AnaConner Amazing!!! So proud of you both!

Takes the cost of a woman's death to get any attention to this issue. Young Woman’s Murder in Kyrgyzstan Shows Cost of ‘Tradition’ https://t.co/I2J47hI7xB

Ugly head of political hypocrisy in #SaudiArabia - calling women as traitors while promoting Saudi image as looking forward re #WomensRights! #NotATraitor #ReleaseSaudiWHRDs

[Meerim Ilyas @MeerimKG]

So proud and inspired by @itsmeeshashafi for coming forward! https://t.co/f25tJZ7wuD

[MediaJustice @mediajustice]

As a result of exorbitant phone rates, one in every three families in one survey reported being thrown into debt in order to afford the cost of phone calls with a loved one in prison. That's unacceptable: https://t.co/KkMTICTEam #phonejustice #SecondChanceMonth
