Communities that prioritize equality over mere growth perform better economically. Studies and experience consistently prove that. More equality and more human rights mean more safety, more stability, and more human potential realized.

So what could be a better investment?

Afghanistan remains the only country in the world that bans secondary education for girls and women.

To ensure girls still have the opportunity to learn, Fatema Uzgun Nusrat now runs an online school called The Behdukht Academy.

Nur wenige Stunden nach der Ankündigung einer Waffenruhe hat Israel für eine beispiellose Eskalation im Libanon gesorgt. Hunderte Menschen wurden bei Angriffen getötet & verletzt. Damit war der gestrige Tag der tödlichste seit Beginn der jüngsten Kampfhandlungen Anfang März. 1/4

On day 116 of Narges Mohammadi’s detention as she is now in Zanjan Prison, the Narges Foundation reminds the international community that any attack on Iran’s civilian infrastructure, industries, environment, or cultural heritage is an attack on the lives and futures of its people.

Such actions constitute war crimes and must be unequivocally condemned.

We call for the protection of the Iranian people and their national assets: Do not bomb civilian infrastructure.

Fears are rising for political prisoners in Iran, including a Nobel Laureate jailed with other activists for challenging the regime under military attack by the United States and Israel.

“History has shown that the Islamic Republic has repeatedly and systematically exploited war to escalate violence against political prisoners,” the Paris office of 2023 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Narges Mohammadi said in a statement shared with TIME.

The Narges Foundation said it was “profoundly concerned” about Mohammadi, who, after being arrested in December while protesting the suspicious death of a fellow activist, is currently jailed in Zanjan, a city northwest of Tehran that was shaken by a massive explosion on Saturday.

"My heart is breaking for my mom and every soul held behind the prison walls now more than ever,” Mohammadi’s daughter, Kiana Rahmani, said in the statement. “They are trapped between the cruelty of a brutal regime and the terrifying thunder of explosions outside.”

📍 The Lebanese Parliament’s Human Rights Committee approved on 23 February a draft law to abolish the death penalty in a significant and long overdue step towards ending the use of the death penalty in the country. The proposal will now move to the full Parliament for consideration and a final vote later in March.
This draft law presents a historic opportunity for #Lebanon to finally move towards full abolition of this cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. The Lebanese Parliament must act swiftly and with no hesitation to ensure that this milestone reform is finally enshrined in law.

The son of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has called on journalists, lawyers, and human rights activists to stand with the Iranian people, saying this is what his mother would do if she were free.

In a video message, Ali Rahmani said Iranians had for days been facing bullets from the regime’s security forces and death threats.

“Since December 27, 2025, the people of Iran have taken to the streets, just as they did in 2009, December 2017, November 2019, and during the Mahsa protests,” he said.

“Each time, the same demands were repeated: an end to the Islamic Republic, an end to this patriarchal, dictatorial and religious regime, an end to the rule of the authoritarian clerical government.”

Speaking on behalf of his mother, who he said is being held in solitary confinement, Rahmani addressed the international community.

“I respectfully call on lawyers, activists, journalists and media outlets to be the voice of the Iranian people,” he said. “Support them in their struggle for democracy and freedom against the Islamic Republic and its dictatorial regime.”
