"We cannot leave Afghan women to fight alone."

@UN_Women stresses that what we do - or fail to do - for Afghan women & girls is the ultimate test of who we are as a global community. https://t.co/V1pkE1kQ7B

We were thrilled to collaborate with civil society partners yesterday on the draft crimes against humanity treaty.

A strong treaty is only possible through deep engagement from civil society. #CAHTreatyNow #ASP22 #NGOVoices https://t.co/V1TH8sS8Uj

Representing @UN_Women at our final co-sponsored side event this #ASP, on addressing conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence in Ukraine. I'll have the pleasure of closing out the discussion. Thanks to @GRC_HumanRights for bringing us together.

UN Women’s @emkenney notes the goals of inclusion and gender responsiveness of the TJ guidance note. “What can the UN do? “Not just get women into a [TJ discussion] and counting them.” Women’s participation in TJ “should be on women’s terms, not the UN’s terms.” #ASP22

[Emily Kenney @emkenney]

Kicking off @UN_Women's third #ASP side event, a civil society workshop on the draft articles on crimes against humanity. Another full house for a critical conversation. So glad to be a 🪰on the wall! Thanks to @GlobalJusticeC and co-hosts for organizing.

[Emily Kenney @emkenney]

#ASP side event two for @UN_Women ✔️ Excellent conversation on support to gender justice practitioners with cohosts @LegalActionWW, @AustraliaUN & @USGSRSGPatten @endrapeinwar.

[Emily Kenney @emkenney]

Hosting our first of four @UN_Women #ASP side events this week, on decolonizing international justice. Thanks to our co-hosts, especially @EJC_org, and our full house of participants!

[akila radhakrishnan @akila_rad]

A full house for the launch of the @IntlCrimCourt’s updated policy on sexual and gender-based crimes at #ASP22. A huge congrats to all who worked on this important document, and am particularly pleased to see the policy develop the concept of reproductive violence further.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

❌493,000 women & girls displaced from their homes in #Gaza.
In the absence of a ceasefire, this number will only keep growing.

⚠️Our new report reveals the devastating impact of the crisis in Gaza on women & girls.

Civilians and civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget.

They must be protected.

At all times.

Everywhere.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Without #TransitionalJustice, grievances & hostility will fester & risk new cycles of devastating violence bursting forth.

Situation-specific & people-centered transitional justice processes are our best chance for lasting peace.

[Sarah Hendriks @sarah_hendriks]

To protect & promote women’s human rights, transitional justice must contribute to transforming gender inequalities.

Honored to speak at the launch of the SG's Guidance Note on Transitional Justice, which sets gender-responsiveness as a key approach.

A fantastic two days representing @UN_Women at a consultation on women's equal and inclusive participation in international decisionmaking. Thank you, @GqualCampaign for organizing an amazing group of feminist practitioners, academics and lawyers #womenpeacepower

[GQUAL @GqualCampaign]

📣👏🏽That’s a successful wrap for our expert consultation on #CEDAW’s #GenRecc40! 🌎🌍🌏

🟣Tremendous thanks to experts & partners for the inspiring two days of discussion on the need for & meanings of #GenderEquality in int’l representation.

Taliban authorities in Afghanistan are committing the crime against humanity of gender persecution against women and girls, @hrw said in a report released today. https://t.co/NySKRYPNXI

[Emily Kenney @emkenney]

Honored to be a contributor to @just_security, with a post on the ICC OTP #genderpersecution policy. @UN_Women was proud to support the development of the policy and looks forward to supporting implementation, including through our partnership with @J_RapidResponse.

[Just Security @just_security]

The #ICC’s gender persecution policy covers a wide variety of rights violations.

@emkenney writes that prosecutions can rely on evidence gathered by U.N. human rights investigations, but that pervasive gender discrimination will present a challenge.
