Last night, Lesotho was referred to as a country "nobody has ever heard of." Well, for those who don't know about beautiful Lesotho, let us show you!

2025 is the year that Canada needs to step up and #callitfemicide

Women are murdered at disproportionate rates throughout the country with impunity

@JustinTrudeau please sign the #belemdopara convention and create legislation that protects women

These Sudanese women describe preparing for childbirth amid forced displacement, hunger and a collapsed health care system.

Hundreds of thousands of pregnant women have been forcibly uprooted, and over 90,000 of them are in their third trimester.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

This is what Western governments know is happening every single day.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

'If you decide to move against the students, you’ll have to go through us first.'

This is the moment when University of Toronto faculty members declared they would protect student protesters supporting Palestine, despite threats from the college administration and police.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Sudan is at risk of becoming the world's largest hunger crisis since its civil war began last year, and yet it hardly makes the headlines.

Al Jazeera's @malcolmwebb takes us through the conflict many say the world has forgotten ⤵️

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Women in Africa are 130 times more likely to die in case of pregnancy or childbirth complications than women in Europe and Northern America, the UN sexual and reproductive health agency, @UNFPA, says in its new State of World Population Report 2024.

"I’ve seen my country descend into violence, madness and destruction, neglected by the rest of the world. Even the rich have become poor. Unless there’s a ceasefire very soon, the country may collapse.”
Sudan enters its second year of catastrophic war:

Time is running out to protect civilians in #Rafah. @PlanGlobal calls for an unconditional, permanent and immediate ceasefire to stop atrocity crimes against civilians, many of them children. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/cQh3rFc83A

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

Today @theIPCinfo confirmed our worst fears. Famine is imminent in northern Gaza.

Children in north Gaza are already dying of malnutrition and dehydration.

This must jolt the world into action.

We need aggressive action now!

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

People in #Gaza are starving.

Urgent action is needed to curb the hunger crisis by ensuring:

⚠️ Safe humanitarian and commercial access across the entire Strip.
⚠️ The restoration of critical services.
⚠️ A sustained supply of sufficient food.

More in @theIPCinfo’s report ⬇️

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

Staggering. The number of children reported killed in just over 4 months in #Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in 4 years of wars around the world combined.

This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future.

#ceasefireNow for the sake of children in #Gaza

[Canadian Femicide Observatory 🇨🇦 @CAN_Femicide]

Male arrested and police say "there is no ongoing risk to public safety."

We all know what that is code for.

[Sudan Tribune @SudanTribune_EN]

The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a stark warning today, calling the health situation in Sudan a "perfect storm" brewing due to looming hunger and rampant disease.

🚨Emergency rally tonight for Rafah
🚨After four months of bombardments, a million and a half Palestinians are now trapped in Rafah as Israel wages its genocidal war on Gaza.
🚨The ICJ ordered Israel to prevent acts that could amount to genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The telecom blackout in Sudan is preventing people from accessing essential services and transferring funds, and hindering the humanitarian response.
 
This is unacceptable.
 
I urge all those involved to restore the communication network across Sudan immediately.
