Wonderful news from Saint Kitts and Nevis 🇰🇳: the High Court has ruled that laws criminalising consensual sexual acts between adults are unconstitutional! A thread 🧵 /1

[Victor Madrigal-Borloz @victor_madrigal]

Freedom of religion or belief and freedom from violence and discrimination based on #SOGI are both part of human dignity. My admiration and my gratitude to the great @ahmedshaheed, who so brilliantly contributed to further that ideal.

As concerned by the withdrawal of Turkey from the #IstanbulConvention as I am encouraged by ratification in 2022 by Moldova, @ukraine and the United Kingdom. The Convention is key regional instrument to fight #ViolenceAgainstWomen in all of their diversity.

Throwback to... yesterday: the #IESOGI mandate had just been renewed at the #HRC50, and those present in Geneva celebrated like this! ⬇️ #RenewIESOGI

[Victor Madrigal-Borloz @victor_madrigal]

The #IESOGI mandate has been renewed at #HRC50.
Many have worked tirelessly to make this a reality - from state authorities to civil society. We continue to move ahead, one step closer to achieving our common vision: a world free from violence & discrimination based on #SOGI. 🌈
