The list of #Palestinian#childvictims is getting longer virtually every day while their killers among the Israeli forces remain at large. Shame on the world - & the US in particular - for turning a blind eye! #EndIsraeliApartheid#StopKillingChildren https://t.co/U1NFPMvlkg
Today we remember Hansa Mehta, born #OnThisDay in 1897, a feminist leader, activist and diplomat from India.
She succeeded in changing “All men are born free and equal” in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to “All human beings are born free and equal."
Iranians are turning "to small acts of defiance to keep [the] protest flame burning. Marking the birthdays of those who died is just one way that the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ movement is being kept alive."

#Saudi activist and nurse Fatima Al Nassif has been released after spending almost six years in prison.
A mother of three children, Al Nassif was arrested in a violent manner in September 2017 while in the car with her two daughters. Her son passed away while she was in prison.
The end DOES NOT justify the means! End the suffering and harm caused by these indiscriminate weapons! #clustermunitions@noclusterbombs https://t.co/Qm1CViGttm

From severe beatings to sexual humiliation, rape, fake executions, abuse of family members, #torture is used as a means of war in more than 100 armed conflicts raging worldwide. It's truly shocking what horror human beings are capable of inflicting on one another! @UN
Distressing accounts by #female#politicalprisoners in #Egypt on the ill-treatment they received in prison. More than 200 female political prisoners are in Egyptian prisons at the moment, as reported by the Till the Last Prisoner Campaign! @TimepDC https://t.co/bW067Cfirj
This is indeed a historic victory! Shockingly, in #Europe, almost 50% of countries do not criminalise #sexwithoutconsent, although they have all ratified the #IstanbulConvention. Sex without consent is #rape! https://t.co/NJX8Ufq2vD
#POTUS decision to transfer #clusterbombs to #Ukraine would inevitably cause long-term suffering for civilians, undermine the int'l efforts against #clustermunitions use. The end DOES NOT justify the means, particularly if it is a #warcrime! @HRW https://t.co/nBhpzFIv6l
Shameful decision by the #BidenAdministration! All civilized nations have banned production, sale, use of #clustermunitions. Once again, we think that we are exceptional and that, if the #US does it, it's not a war crime?! #Ukraine@banclusterbombs https://t.co/zJXcGJd4kH
#Children as young as 12 have been detained for attacking law enforcement, setting fires, during 6 nights of violence after the fatal police shooting of 17-year-old #NahelMerzouk in suburban Paris. The average age of the 3,354 people arrested over the past week was 17! #France
Outraged by the horrifying act of #Israeli forces using five innocent #Palestinian#children as human shields. This is an egregious violation of #humanrights and an absolute disgrace, the perpetrators must be held accountable for their actions ASAP! #ChildrensRights
No freedom, no education, no rights, no job, must have a mahram, must wear a burqa, forced marriage, torture, arbitrary detention, corporal punishment, public flogging - this is more than enough to define #crimeagainsthumanity and #genderpersecution. SAVE #Afghanwomenandgirls !
Outraged and heartbroken by the escalating violence and raids in the #WestBank. The continued #Israeli oppression of #Palestinians must end. We cannot turn a blind eye to the #humanrights abuses while children are being killed! Justice for #OmarMohammadAwadin!
Disturbing report reveals the #Taliban's treatment of #women in #Afghanistan, labeling it as a crime against humanity of gender persecution. This is a grave violation of #humanrights and an urgent call for action! The international community must protect #Afghanwomenandgirls!
