@RunningCarl I'm in a cottage nr Paris watching in French w ads. Tres difficile. G, D, A +E are heading in to see the cycling road races, somewhere in the Bois de Vincennes (too much standing for arthritic me!)
@Channel4News You MUST amplify the Green Party as much as this morally bankrupt handful. Their message is needed desperately to increase focus on the environment. These issues will last far longer and affect us all far more!!
I’m honored to announce that another powerful woman has joined our campaign, United Against Gender Apartheid.
Düzen Tekkal, a Yazidi journalist and human rights activist, says, “We will never forget Jina Mahsa Amini, Nika Shakarami, and Armita Garavand.”
Düzen Tekkal became a prominent voice after the Yazidi genocide by ISIS and has now joined our efforts in Iran and Afghanistan to define and criminalize gender apartheid everywhere.
The United Against Gender Apartheid campaign invites all politicians and activists from democratic countries to join us.

Today we are all #UnitedAgainstGenderApartheid and calling the free world to listen to the women of Iran and Afghanistan who are wounded, but unbowed to their oppressors.
I joined international jurists and human rights defenders in signing onto a joint letter and underlying legal brief urging States to include the crime of gender apartheid in the draft crimes against humanity (CAH) treaty.
Women and girls who live under the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic in Iran are battling extreme, institutionalized and systematized gender-based oppression and domination. This treatment has a name: gender apartheid.
The UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee (Legal) is scheduled to debate the proposed CAH treaty in October. Member States have the choice to recognize the CAH of gender apartheid in the treaty. Codifying this crime will provide the international community with the necessary tools to mobilize against apartheid regimes and hold perpetrators of gender apartheid accountable.
We can’t miss this chance to make gender apartheid a crime recognized under international law.
