4️⃣ yrs since the #Taliban takeover, ♀️ in #Afghanistan have been nearly erased from public life. “Vice & Virtue” laws impose near-total domination, amounting to gender persecution & gender apartheid. The world must not let #Afghanistan become a forgotten crisis. www.globalr2p.org/countries/af...

Eight years since the #Rohingya genocide began, justice remains elusive. Over 1 million refugees still suffer in dire conditions, while those in #Rakhine face abuse from all sides. The international community must act: protect and support the Rohingya, and hold perpetrators accountable.

As Sudan’s conflict enters its 3rd year, atrocities & impunity persist. #HRC60 must extend the mandate of the FFM for 2 more years to preserve evidence & protect civilians. Accountability cannot wait. www.globalr2p.org/publications...

The #UN80 reform process has the opportunity to reshape the working methods of the UN. Atrocity prevention must remain a key priority. Check out this 🆕 oped from our ED @savitapawnday.bsky.social &IAB member @nataliesam.bsky.social ⬇️ www.globalr2p.org/publications...

🕯️11 yrs ago ISIL launched a genocide against the #Yazidi people of #Sinjar 🇮🇶 killing, enslaving & displacing thousands. While some justice has been served under universal jurisdiction, more is needed. Let this somber commemoration be a call to action for the truth, justice & redress Yazidis deserve.

🕯️Yesterday in 1944 nearly 3,000 #Roma & #Sinti people were murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz. As we mark #RomaGenocide Remembrance Day, honoring victims means confronting antigypsyism today & upholding our shared duty to protect populations and prevent identity-based violence.
