Shield laws have become a lifeline for abortion patients and providers in the US post-Dobbs, which is precisely why conservative policymakers are turning to the courts, Congress, and state legislatures to attack this critical method of care. 🧵 www.guttmacher.org/2025/09/atta...

This is a devastating example of gender apartheid and its society-wide impacts. When you so severely restrict the lives of half the population, even something as urgent and essential as natural disaster recovery will be compromised. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Guttmacher experts in a new @thehill.com op-ed: Birth control is under threat. As part of a larger strategy to undermine #ReproRights in the US, conservative politicians are chipping away at contraceptive access through policy changes, legal rulings & funding restrictions. https://gu.tt/3I2JUog

📢 NEW: We are thrilled to announce a series of webinars that will explore how conscience, religion, and belief interact with abortion access. These conversations are urgent at a time when conscientious objection is increasingly used to deny abortion care around the world. (1/2)

The escalating women’s rights crisis in Afghanistan demonstrates a gap in international protection of rights of women and girls. The international community should fill this gap by making gender apartheid a crime against humanity under international law. gjia.georgetown.edu/2025/09/02/g...

📣 NEW: We are publishing the first in a series that summarizes our legal briefs on gender and the draft crimes against humanity treaty. Check out this summary of a brief calling for the draft treaty to codify the crime of forced marriage. cahtreatynow.org/summary-the-...

We came to the UN to deliver the recommendations our government refuses to face, because people’s lives cannot wait. This refusal is one more step in this administration’s intent to undermine human rights and silence those who are fighting to protect them.

This was slated to be the first UN review of the US human rights record since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade. The US refusal to participate in the review is one more step in the Trump admin’s intent to undermine human rights structures & silence those who are fighting to protect them.

BREAKING: The Trump administration just announced it will not participate in a mandatory UN human rights review. This is a clear attempt to evade accountability for grave, ongoing human rights abuses. Read our coalition statement. www.globaljusticecenter.net/press/trump-...

Abortion bans cost people their health, safety, and lives. No one should be forced to stand before a judge, cross a border, or risk their future to decide what happens to their body. An upcoming UN review of the US human rights record is our chance to demand accountability. youtu.be/EGuDHtXSEMg

Human rights activists, the international community, and anyone who recognizes that no one is above the law, should condemn the Trump administration's latest sanctions on International Criminal Court officials. The court's independence must be protected. www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/p...

Trump, Republicans and antiabortion extremists are dismantling reproductive care for low-income women, funneling them into ideological clinics masquerading as health centers.

NEW: Along with colleagues in the Asia Justice Coalition, we are marking 8 years since the beginning of the #Rohingya genocide by again calling for international action. Thanks to global failures, the Rohingya remain under constant threat. It must change. www.globaljusticecenter.net/press/no-mor...

"But I very much argue that these aren’t unintended consequences.” - @kylietcheung.bsky.social A foundational intent behind abortion bans is the removal of bodily autonomy. And the devastating consequences of this removal are well-known to all. theintercept.com/2025/08/15/b...

Many of us warned that the first Trump administration's attempt to redefine human rights to remove reproductive and LGBTQ rights was a precursor to a broader effort to delegitimize all human rights. This disgraceful report is proof that this effort is well underway.

Thanks to Israeli restrictions, the state of humanitarian aid in Gaza has reached a breaking point. Nowhere is this clearer than the lack of medical supplies reaching the area. Read our partner @p4hr.bsky.social's recent report on the impact of these restrictions. phr.org/our-work/res...

The upcoming fourth anniversary of the Taliban takeover is a grim reminder of the gravity of the Taliban’s abuses, particularly against women and girls. Governments should support efforts to hold the Taliban leadership and all those responsible to account.

The GJC team recently gathered for a much-needed retreat. We felt incredibly grateful for the opportunity to discuss some of the most urgent questions facing GJC and the broader feminist movement. We return with a renewed clarity of purpose as our fight for global gender equality continues.

The impacts of reproductive violence can be unique, profound, damaging, and long-lasting. Yet for too long, investigators have failed to fully document it. Our Q&A explains what reproductive violence is and how documentation is critical to preventing it. www.globaljusticecenter.net/qa-documenti...

NEW: Reproductive violence is a form of gender-based violence that targets reproductive autonomy – a protected right under international law. So why isn't it being effectively documented? Check out a new Q&A that distills our recent report with UN Women. www.globaljusticecenter.net/qa-documenti...

(1/2) A Tennessee woman was denied prenatal care for being unmarried. This is "conscientious objection" run amok, and it's time we called it what it is — a human rights violation. Healthcare providers have an obligation to provide nondiscriminatory care. www.tennessean.com/story/news/h...
