We must engage women & girls as agents of change, not merely as beneficiaries or victims. Empower women as this benefits them & their families, communities & nations. Thanks @AshleyJudd & @Atayeshe for the passionate call to action for the rights of women & girls. #ICPD25 #CPD52

"Inequalities stir grievances & unrest; fuel hatred & threats to peace; and force people to leave their homes & countries. In contrast, #HumanRights build hope." – @mbachelet highlights #HumanRights situations around the world in address to #HRC40.

A great example of the UN working together and in complex partnerships with the Rohingya, host communities, government of Bangladesh at local and central level, local NGOs and development partners. We are learning how to be stronger together.

"We need to put an end to the invisibilization of children with disabilities and combat their isolation. Children with disabilities should have the opportunity to dream of a full and happy life; to be reflected in positive models to follow; to be proud of who they are." #HRC40

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

How can each of us act to change laws that discriminate?

Step 1: "Know where you stand!" says Kate Gilmore, Deputy High Commissioner at @UNHumanRights.

#ZeroDiscrimination for all.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

Harmful stereotypes fuel these discriminatory laws, which violate sexual and reproductive rights and are a major barrier to access health services. Information & education are key to end discrimination & stigma. #ZeroDiscrimination #StandUp4HumanRights

The human rights agenda is losing ground in many parts of the globe – but I am not losing hope. We see troubling trends, but also powerful movements for human rights & social justice. https://t.co/VAfF9eGUyE
