Utterly harrowing hearing @FarsakhNebal of @PalestineRCS recall Israel’s killing of 5yr old Palestinian Hind Rajab in Gaza, her 15yr old cousin Layan, their family, & Yusuf & Ahmad, two paramedics who came to rescue after that haunting phone call, to MPs. Zero accountability.

You still have time to sign up to free bystander training run by @IBVprev in partnership with @TfL Before taking part, only 28% of people said they knew what to do if they saw harassment happening in front of them. That rose to 87% afterwards Sign up 👉 tinyurl.com/PA-ABSessions

PCRC's @VelmaSaric and @tatjana677 took part last week in the “Reconciliation in the Western Balkans” conference, organized by @AspenGermany. As a stakeholder in the #BerlinProcess, PCRC joined experts and decision-makers to explore reconciliation within the framework of EU enlargement, transitional justice, and remembrance. Our recommendations included stronger support for de-segregation of schooling, more regional CSO cooperation, and direct approaches to dealing with the past as part of the #EU accession processes for Western Balkan countries. #PCRCBiH

We very much hope @UKUN_NewYork will use their UNSC Presidency to spotlight the ongoing triple threat of armed conflict, identity-based atrocity violence and famine in Sudan. As penholder and President, the UK must drive forward urgent protection measures. #KeepEyesOnSudan

#TransgenderPeople in #Bosnia and Herzegovina face significant challenges in healthcare, legal recognition, and social acceptance. Although legal gender recognition is possible, it requires full medical transition, which is often financially and logistically inaccessible due to limited healthcare support and high costs for procedures that are not covered by insurance. Social acceptance remains low, with the majority of the population either unaware of or opposed to trans rights, further complicating efforts to secure legal and healthcare advancements. While local and regional organizations work to support trans communities, international support is essential yet can also reinforce dependency on foreign aid, fueling nationalist criticisms.

The UK government is consistently failing to protect Palestinians and is complicit in Israel's war crimes. Put pressure on them to take urgent action: map.org.uk/campaigns/norther…
Quote from Rohan Talbot, Medical Aid for Palestinians Director of Advocacy & Campaigns: Israel has crossed every imaginable red line in its all-out war on Palestinians. From bombing and starvation, to systematically dismantling the health system, to now outlawing the UN agency on which millions of Palestinians depend for their most basic survival needs, Israel is attacking the very foundations of Palestinian survival in Gaza and, increasingly, across the region. The continued failure by the UK government to meaningfully counteract this rank illegality and protect Palestinians from Israel's atrocities is inexcusable. This complicity must end.
