Last week I visited Nigeria with @AminaJMohammed to meet girls and @MalalaFund Education Champions and learn about their work to improve education access in their country and give every young woman a chance to reach her full potential.

Speaking at UNHQ in 1990, Nelson Mandela encouraged all people to take action to #FightRacism and create a more equal world.

As if they have learned nothing from months of mass demonstrations against their retrograde, repressive rule, Iranian authorities say that their "morality police" will resume patrols to enforce their mandatory hijab laws for women. theguardian.com/world/2023/j…

Sickened by the horrifying act of using #Palestinian #children as human shields by #Israeli forces. This is a gross violation of human rights and a flagrant disregard for the lives of innocent children. Justice must be served for these heinous crimes! shorturl.at/akrOY

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!

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! tinyurl.com/yru4burr

#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

The #UK government has downplayed #M23 atrocities and #Rwanda’s appalling #rights record & the risks #asylumseekers may face there in order to falsely present its new policy on their forced transfer as a reasonable and safe solution. #refugeerights tinyurl.com/2nb33s5j

#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 tinyurl.com/bdf8udft

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 tinyurl.com/52jyt7jd

#MuhammadHaithamalTamimi, a 3-yr-old #Palestinian toddler who was shot in head in the #WestBank by the #Israeli troops 3 days ago, has died. His little body could not fight any more. This is so heartbreaking! #justiceforMuhammad tinyurl.com/4bjrz7j7
