🏳️‍⚧️On Trans Day of Visibility, we share this article from @thekhrc's Adrian Kibe on the growing climate of repression against transgender persons and their rights in Africa #TDOV @AdrianMuchugu @cancivlib @TGEUorg @LRCSouthAfrica @libertyhq @humanrightshrlc https://t.co/VWp9wZPDzK

💡1⃣ In 2025, we interviewed human rights thought leaders and compiled #HardConversations, 5 Q&As on the crises affecting the #HumanRights movement. In this interview, we asked @NaylorNikki about the global philanthropy and sustainability crisis. https://t.co/IIA12YnqNI

We insist on the safe, immediate & unconditional return of KHRC #HumanRights lawyer @MartinMavenjina to his home in #Kenya after his unlawful deportation on July 5, amid a crackdown on dissent that left at least 38 dead on July 7 alone & saw @thekhrc office stormed by state mobs.

🚨We demand the immediate, safe and unconditional return of @thekhrc's staff Martin Mavenjina to his home. His unlawful deportation is yet another act of intimidation by Kenyan authorities to silence those holding power to account. 1/4 @InteriorKE https://t.co/UoP69WEWD1
