Three months ago, on 2 March 2026, Yanar Mohammed was assassinated in Baghdad.
Today, we remember her once again and renew our call for justice, accountability, and protection for all women human rights defenders.
We will not forget.

Child rights activist #SallyUjano has finally been released from prison. Her arrest and detention should never have occurred. While we welcome her release, we call on the Government of the #Philippines to end all forms of intimidation and harassment against human rights defenders
In 2021, Sally was imprisoned. She was tried for trumped up charges of rebellion, falsely accused of being a member of a group involved in a series of ambushes against government troops.
