"We cannot leave Afghan women to fight alone."
@UN_Women stresses that what we do - or fail to do - for Afghan women & girls is the ultimate test of who we are as a global community. unwo.men/OZUm50SXbKi

We were thrilled to collaborate with civil society partners yesterday on the draft crimes against humanity treaty.
A strong treaty is only possible through deep engagement from civil society. #CAHTreatyNow #ASP22 #NGOVoices x.com/asiajcoalition/status/…

UN Women’s @emkenney notes the goals of inclusion and gender responsiveness of the TJ guidance note. “What can the UN do? “Not just get women into a [TJ discussion] and counting them.” Women’s participation in TJ “should be on women’s terms, not the UN’s terms.” #ASP22

A full house for the launch of the @IntlCrimCourt’s updated policy on sexual and gender-based crimes at #ASP22. A huge congrats to all who worked on this important document, and am particularly pleased to see the policy develop the concept of reproductive violence further.

Without #TransitionalJustice, grievances & hostility will fester & risk new cycles of devastating violence bursting forth.
Situation-specific & people-centered transitional justice processes are our best chance for lasting peace.

To protect & promote women’s human rights, transitional justice must contribute to transforming gender inequalities.
Honored to speak at the launch of the SG's Guidance Note on Transitional Justice, which sets gender-responsiveness as a key approach.

Honored to be a contributor to @just_security, with a post on the ICC OTP #genderpersecution policy. @UN_Women was proud to support the development of the policy and looks forward to supporting implementation, including through our partnership with @J_RapidResponse.
8 Sep 2023
The #ICC’s gender persecution policy covers a wide variety of rights violations.
@emkenney writes that prosecutions can rely on evidence gathered by U.N. human rights investigations, but that pervasive gender discrimination will present a challenge.
