🚨 Another Lesbian Activist Jailed in Kazakhstan ⚠️ Aktorgyn Akkenzhebalasy, a lesbian activist from @feminita_kz, has been arrested under the same charges as @zhanar_sekerbayeva
📌 Their crime? Peacefully protesting against #femicide
‼️ We demand their immediate release! ✊🏽🏳️🌈
⛔️ Zhanar Sekerbayeva ⛔️, co-founder of Feminita NGO, EL*C Board Member, unjustly sentenced to 10 days of arrest in Kazakhstan.
We believe is a clear attempt to isolate her ahead of March 8, preventing her from organizing public events for International Women’s Day. ⤵️

Afghan men, now outraged over the men’s cricket team boycott, stayed silent when the Taliban dismantled women’s sports teams, shut their gyms, and banned them from all sports. Most Afghan men don’t mind the bans—as long as they target women.
“Simply put, the Taliban do not see women as human beings,” Yousafzai told the conference. “They cloak their crimes in cultural and religious justification.” https://t.co/2KCYAtwPvV
Women activists urge the world to recognize Afghanistan’s gender apartheid as a crime against humanity and call on the ICC to investigate the Taliban’s crimes and prosecute its leaders.

🚨 Une enquête menée par le Syndicat de la magistrature en janvier 2024 révèle un sexisme systémique, des violences sexuelles et des discriminations homophobes et transphobes au sein de la justice française. Sur la base de 525 témoignages anonymes, le rapport dénonce des comportements graves et une réactivité insuffisante des autorités.
Les victimes hésitent à se manifester par crainte de représailles. Le Syndicat appelle à des réformes urgentes, comme des formations obligatoires et un renforcement des procédures de signalement.
