The constant, uncomfortable shifting, the tight-lipped, disgusted look on her face, could the U.N. Rapporteur on Violence against Women look like she wants the survivor sitting in front of her to shut up any more?
Is this how someone whose entire job is to advocate for women against violence should be acting when faced with a woman who suffered verifiable violence?
Should a plea from a victim for an apology be met with hateful silence?
The UN should be ashamed, but I have a sinking feeling they're proud instead.
Today, I’m announcing something new to fight back against Donald Trump and his attacks on our democracy. I'm launching Back The Bold to restore accountability in Washington.
The mission is straightforward: to back leaders with the courage to say what needs to be said, do what needs to be done, and hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable. That means supporting Democrats and Independents who refuse to flinch. It's time to be bold. Join the fight.

The Russian leadership is now pulling more air defense assets to Moscow, Valdai, and Putin’s bridge across the Kerch Strait – at the expense of air defense elsewhere.
In the Moscow region alone, they have amassed hundreds of launchers for S-400, S-500, and Pantsir systems. Nearly 90 launchers have been redeployed to Valdai from other regions of Russia, and a special air defense division is also being formed there to safeguard the peace and quiet of the Russian chief.
To compare, there are only a couple of launchers per direction across Russia and around their other cities. Those are their priorities. They are protecting their power – the source of this war. More than 60 Russian regions are already experiencing fuel shortages. There has also been a sharp increase in gas and diesel prices – if they are available at all.
Russian security services have even proposed postponing or cancelling altogether the ritual of electing “United Russia” to the State Duma. Their latest imitation of elections was scheduled for September, and intelligence reports now show that Russia itself is not confident about what will be happening by September.
There are many difficulties – all because Putin refuses to end his war and to hear our proposals for a meeting, genuine negotiations, and a dignified peace.

In Gdańsk, I was proud to meet Lech Wałęsa, a legend of Polish Solidarity and Europe’s democratic history.
We discussed Belarus, Ukraine, and how to keep fighting tyranny without losing hope.
Poland’s story reminds us that dictatorships will fall when people remain united.
We are outraged that our granddaughters have fewer rights than their mothers did and we must change that — to start: restore freedom of choice!

1/ Wounded Russian soldiers are having to wait for anything from 48 hours to a remarkable 90 days for evacuation from the battlefields of Ukraine. Russian medical specialists say that there is a widespread lack of field medical expertise, likely dooming many of the wounded. ⬇️
