Old enought for both things

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

What do you do on a daily basis to fight climate change?

Many citizens are already taking action on the ground, such as the UNESCO Green Citizens.  Join them 💚 👉 https://t.co/6YXOkSwePg

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador @Marymaker_43 laid out the enormous stakes for the #GlobalGoals at #HLPF2023.
She urged all to not leave refugees behind.

Afghan women are still protesting in the capital, Kabul - the Taliban disperse them by firing in the air and spraying them with water.

Half the world could soon face dangerous heat. See the daily toll it is already taking. https://t.co/In7qBN6KVP

Nelson Mandela was a colossus of courage and conviction, whom I had the privilege of meeting several times.

As we commemorate #MandelaDay, let’s honour his legacy by taking action to make our world more peaceful & compassionate.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Nelson Mandela's words resonate as strongly today as ever.

Let us honour his legacy of compassion and unparalleled solidarity for the oppressed and persecuted.

Let us make peace and build instead of break down and destroy. #MandelaDay

Say it louder for the people in the back 📢

Wearing a hijab should never be forced or banned ✊

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

As if they have learned nothing from months of mass demonstrations against their retrograde, repressive rule, Iranian authorities say that their "morality police" will resume patrols to enforce their mandatory hijab laws for women. https://t.co/g7w7cUChIP

#Humanrights organizations are warning about #UAE having their own agenda for #COP28 to gain political leverage and do int'l impression management. Now that the Emirati organizers have invited #Syrian president al Assad, it is clear they were right. #humanrights

[Kim Fitch @KimFitch8]

Enforced disappearance is a grave violation of #humanrights, and #SaudiArabia must be held accountable for its continued use of this practice. #EndEnforcedDisappearances #MohammedalQahtani #SaudiArabia @OMCT

[Jill Harrison @JillHarrison75]

For more than 10yrs, #UAE authorities have been unjustly detaining at least 60 Emirati #humanrights defenders, civil society activists & political dissidents, who were detained for demanding reform & democracy. #UAE repression must not be camouflaged by false #COP28 tolerance!

[Chris Gibson @ChrisGibson199]

#NGOs are under attack in the #UAE, with rights and freedoms suppressed by the government. The UAE government's "sustained assault" on civil society has been documented in a new report. https://t.co/wHmIJowz8R #humanrights @HRW @Amnesty

[Michelle Danes @MichelleDanes]

They started with #sportswashing, now they are using #climate to promote "openness and tolerance", while crushing any dissent and imprisoning people over tweets. We must not be fooled by the #UAE cheap marketing! #humanrights @HRW @Amnesty

[Sebastian Mitch @Sebasti87707102]

For six months, #MohammedalQahtani has been kept incommunicado in prison in #SaudiArabia. Authorities must promptly reveal his whereabouts and unconditionally free him! #freeMohammedalQahtani https://t.co/k4bFE9kM4Y

[Danielle Winters @DaniWinters79]

As the UN let #UAE host #COP28, we must stay alert & critical against the policies UAE is practicing, despite the false facade the country is portraying in media. It isn't a country that cares about #climatechange anymore than it cares about #freedomofexpression, #humanrights.

[Anna Simone @AnnaSimone2001]

#UAE is whitewashing its #humanrights violations history by hosting #COP28. This is not only environmental hypocrisy, but also a way to promote a fake image of tolerance. This is a reminder that there are many people in UAE's prisons for fighting against repression.

[Kelly Rosewood @RosewoodKelly]

As the #UAE prepares to host #COP28, concerns grow over the govt's severe restrictions on #humanrights, including #freedomofexpression and #peacefulassembly. The country's recent #cybercrimelaw and #antiterrorismlaw only add to the worries of civil society groups and activists.

[Frank Graham @FrankGr80474215]

Ahead of #COP28, rights groups call on the #UAE to address its poor #humanrights record, including the suppression of #freedomofexpression and association, and the mistreatment of migrant workers. Justice for those affected! @HRW @Amnesty

[Kevin Bailey @KevinBailey2021]

The link between #socialjustice, #humanrights and #climate is well known! There could be no sustainability in a deeply unjust society, with a murderous and brutal regime. Having #COP28 hosted by the #UAE this December is an ultimate hypocrisy!
