It's been a privilege to work with you @LesAllamby in your role as @NIHRC Chief Commissioner particularly in relation to the #GoodFridayAgreement and #Brexit. Congratulations on all you and your team have achieved over your mandate. #NHRI@sineadgibney
The Human Rights Council in Geneva today convened a special session on the human rights situation in #Afghanistan.
Amb Gaffey delivered Ireland’s statement ⬇️ which focused on the human rights of women and girls.
‘We will not turn away from the Afghan people’.
We are concerned for the safety of @ShaharzadAkbar and staff of @AfghanistanIHRC. They have been courageous in their work to protect the rights of detainees.
Together with 36 NPMs, we call on those in positions of power to ensure their safety.

400 staff of the #Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission & their families need to be moved to safety & supported to sustain their critical role. Grateful @ganhri1 coordinating our #NHRI family incl @_IHREC. @AfghanistanIHRC your Irish colleagues stand with you #SS31
We must advance, integrate and institutionalise women's leadership that is values-based, purposeful, ambitious in scale, with strong metrics linked to sanctions for non-implementation of gender equality. https://t.co/EYI8syyfcz
Women's leadership was the focus of my recent visiting scholarship @Cambridge_Uni contributing to @r4hcmena including chairing the #IWD2021 roundtable for the Women Leaders in Health and Conflict Initiative. #CitizensAssembly https://t.co/U2Txi3Eag0

“The recs by the citizens are ground-breaking & send a strong and clear signal to Government & all decision makers that women’s equality needs to be at the centre of our Constitution, our legislation & our policies” NWC Director @OrlaNWCI https://t.co/xxu9RdIEJL
Childcare is a key dimension of gender equality. The European Institute for Gender Equality's #GenderEqualityIndex measures how much Ireland needs to improve @eurogender #CitizensAssembly
https://t.co/dVqbfkLVG9
#CitizensAssembly voted 96.7% in favour of increasing the Irish State share of GDP spent on childcare, from the current 0.37% of GDP to at least 1% by no later than 2030 in line with the UNICEF target.
Strong indication that the implementation of the #CitizensAssembly recommendations will advance #disabilityrights including #CRPD#Article19 Living Independently and Being Included in the Community https://t.co/Cq2u86xNve
The #IstanbulConvention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence came into force in July 2019 @_IHREC#CitizensAssembly https://t.co/ZPm58B9L33
#CitizensAssembly voted 100% in favour of eliminating tolerance in our society of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence by developing and implementing awareness, prevention and education campaigns on supports available to victims/survivors.
Fundamentally important recommendation on digital public sphere particularly given the location of technology & social media companies in Ireland. Critical current legislative proposals on online safety and media regulation, and hate crime address all forms of sexism & misogyny.
