How Human Rights Watch Killed a Report Calling Israel’s Denial of Palestinians’ Right of Return a Crime Against Humanity
The inside story at @DropSiteNews ⬇️

Milena Ansari, @hrw's indefatigable researcher in Jerusalem, has also resigned. The two of us made up the organization’s Israel/Palestine team. Our last day was yesterday. See the @guardian's account: https://t.co/rEXpnujxEE
I've resigned from @hrw after 10+ yrs—most as Israel/Palestine Director—after HRW's new ED pulled a finalized report on the right of return for Palestinian refugees on eve of its release & blocked for weeks its publication in a principled way. Full story: https://t.co/npbjjwBqf5
Novel? @hrw found in 2023 denial of a return to amount to a crime against humanity in Chagos. This is based on @IntlCrimCourt precedent. Other reports echoed the analysis. Are you calling on HRW to retract a report for its first-time ever or it just different rules for Palestine?

U.S. foreign aid cuts are a global health disaster. But they're also wreaking havoc on international institutions, human rights, and more.

Six Months In: How the Trump Administration Is Undermining Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Globally
@Guttmacher’s @florianemborel, @IrumTaqi and Samira Damavandi write a timely, important analysis. https://t.co/nZfcBOkmmZ
By every metric, @UNFPA matters. The work we do saves and changes lives. It is valued. It is effective and efficient. It is irreplaceable.
I am immensely proud of our teams around the world and the way they continue to deliver, whatever the challenges.

As history has shown, a Trump presidency will be devastating for sexual and reproductive health and rights.

#Election2024
In the last 5 years, the world has faced repeated shocks - from the COVID-19 pandemic to energy and financial crises, geopolitical tensions, and a global backlash on #GenderEquality. These crises hit women and girls hardest, deepening existing inequalities.
We're joining partners in Geneva this week to #holdtheline and ensure comprehensive #SRHR is recognized as vital to gender equality and the #Beijing30 process.
Also thanks to @EmmieWienhoven for the very steady filming🎥this is feminist solidarity in action😅
We’re in Geneva this week to kick off UN regional reviews for #Beijing30 – a key moment to take stock of countries’ progress on gender equality since the Beijing Declaration.
Our research provides evidence of the vital link between #SRHR and gender equality. @florianemborel
The anti-abortion movement is using all levels of government & policy to attack reproductive rights.
Their latest threat? Project 2025.
Our new factsheet outlines 7 major ways #Project2025 threatens repro rights. Learn more @MsMagazine⬇️

🚨2day the UK announced a deal with Mauritius 2 settle sovereignty over Chagos Islands
It appears that the UK @DavidLammy@SDoughtyMP has failed to uphold the rights of all Chagossians incl 2 return to all their homeland despite 🇬🇧 having expelled them from their Islands

Great to see new report from @HRPresearch & @WHO on status of #SRHR worldwide and what steps must be taken to ensure #SRHR4ALL in the future.
& great to see it adopt the @Guttmacher -Lancet Commission holistic definition of SRHR in its analysis 🎉

Today’s Pact for #OurCommonFuture reaffirms UN member states’ vision for a better tomorrow.
That vision must include universal access to sexual & reproductive health & rights. We will continue to champion comprehensive #SRHR as vital to gender equality & sustainable development.
The anti-abortion movement’s main priority remains the same: A total, nationwide abortion ban.
Any 6-, 15- or 20-week national abortion ban is simply a stepping stone to a total ban.
