Girls everywhere know exactly who they want to become — doctors, teachers, artists, leaders who will reshape their communities & countries.

But for too many, conflict, poverty & discrimination cut those dreams short.

That's why we're asking for your support. Your gift helps girls stay in school through crisis, return to learning after disruption & continue building the futures they choose.

On Giving Tuesday, help us keep girls' dreams within reach. Make a contribution: https://t.co/4sulHjFD1Z

Today, August 15, marks four years since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan. It is a somber anniversary for me and for the millions of fellow Afghans whose daily reality is marked by hunger, oppression and fear.

🗒️ @columlynch reports on UN's cost-cutting crusade.

I told him: “#China & #Russia have tried to slash funding for human rights. Until now, the US has provided the most powerful counterbalance to that, but now there's a risk that the US won’t do that." https://t.co/PnXPFtOTxQ

🚩NEW: UAE authorities have designated as “terrorist” 11 political dissidents & relatives as well as 8 companies they own, reflecting the UAE’s indiscriminate use of overbroad counterterrorism laws and contempt for due process.

To repay Chinese debt, Ecuador wants to drill for oil in rainforest, to "serve the poorest." But experts say drilling destroys Ecuador's "greatest wealth," biodiversity, & rarely benefits poor ppl. @hrw @TamaraTaraciuk @singhp_p @AntoniaJuhasz @wang_maya https://t.co/jHE87fbjCd

How did #EU foreign policy on #HumanRights look like in 2022?

Mixed picture: strong and principled action on some countries/issues of concern, weak or none at all on others.
