[Ireland at UN @IrishMissionUN]

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’.

[APT Geneva @apt_geneva]

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

[GANHRI @Ganhri1]

UN High Commissioner #HumanRights @MBachelet has highlighted the brave, courageous and fundamental role of the @AfghanistanIHRC. She said its independence should be respected.

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

Let's cite it again for good measure @helenrussell32, it was a pleasure for @_IHREC to work with @ESRIDublin on this important research 😄https://t.co/YNsIt9gBVr

[Helen Russell @helenrussell32]

@iris_elliott @_IHREC @ESRC Great to see such strong messages on care from the Citizens. @ESRIDublin report rather than ESRC 🙂

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

[The Citizens' Assembly @CitizAssembly]

Currently Ireland spends 0.37% of GDP on early childcare compared to an EU average of 0.63%

[Iris Elliott @iris_elliott]

Across the #CitizensAssembly recommendations there is strong alignment with #equalitybudgeting https://t.co/lJSnsCiGnO

[The Citizens' Assembly @CitizAssembly]

#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.

[Iris Elliott @iris_elliott]

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 Citizens' Assembly @CitizAssembly]

#CitizensAssembly 100% of members voted that Older people and persons with disabilities be actively supported and resourced to live independently.

The #IstanbulConvention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence came into force in July 2019 @_IHREC #CitizensAssembly https://t.co/ZPm58B9L33

[The Citizens' Assembly @CitizAssembly]

#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.

@_IHREC submission on the General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill #citizensassembly

[Iris Elliott @iris_elliott]

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.
