Thrilled to support the cultural rights of LGBTI persons in sports! Every person deserves the freedom to participate, thrive, and be celebrated for who they are, both on and off the field. Let’s build inclusive spaces where diversity in sports can shine. tinyurl.com/yre94dyz

The UN Special Procedures are essential to the #HRC ’s mission, shining a light on critical global issues. Troubling to see @FranceskAlbs face accusations for fulfilling her mandate. Independent voices advocating for justice and accountability must be supported, not stifled.

I am deeply disappointed that various western governments and diplomats appear to have been misled by spurious, recycled allegations against me, just as I prepare to present my latest report to the #UNGA next week. I am profoundly committed to human rights for all people - how…



📢 @UN_WGDAWG Vice-Chair Claudia Flores will be speaking at a side event on the #CulturalRight of #LGBTI persons to participate in sports on 25 October 2024 at 10am in CR5 of #UNHQ in NY. Register at: forms.gle/nn1TFDoafxQVry…

🚨Watch this space for our upcoming guidance document on women and girls in the family ⬇️

"The context of the family has too often been a source and site of discrimination and stereotyping of women and girls," @UN_WGDAWG expert Haina Lu told the @UN Human Rights Council. She encouraged States to empower "women and girls in their choices in family life". #HRC57

A real privilege to get to interview @DorothyEstrada from the @UN_WGDAWG as part of @EUni_Well funded project on gender equality! We talked about the dangerous road from gender backlash to gender apartheid. tinyurl.com/yak2t4rm

In light of #EqualPayDay, we must redouble our efforts to close the gender pay gap worldwide. As emphasized in our 2023 report on gendered inequalities of poverty, women are entitled to equal pay for equal work—now is the time to end wage discrimination! #GenderEquality

#EqualPay is a human right, yet women, especially women of colour & marginalized groups still face pay discrimination. On #EqualPayDay, we call on governments to ensure equal pay, tackle discrimination & address power dynamics perpetuating inequality. Real change is overdue.

We stand with the @SR_Afghanistan in defending the #humanrights of women and girls in #Afghanistan. We must stay strong to fight opression, persecution and #gender apartheid.

#Afghanistan: "Since I reported to this Council in June, the Taliban has further intensified its violations of the human rights of the Afghan population, particularly women and girls," said @SR_Afghanistan Richard Bennett at the @UN Human Rights Council's 57th session. #HRC57



Femicide exists in many societies as violence and discrimination against women and girls continue to be accepted, tolerated and justified. We urge States to prevent femicide and punish perpetrators. africa.unwomen.org/en/stories/sta…

🇭🇹#Haiti: We are concerned by the lack of meaningful inclusion of women in the political transition process, including in the Transitional Presidential Council and ministerial positions. To ensure a successful transition, women and girls’ voices must be front and centre.

🇭🇹#Haïti: Nous sommes préoccupées par le manque d'inclusion significative des femmes dans le processus de transition politique, y compris au sein du #CPT et des postes ministériels. Pour une transition réussie, les voix des femmes et des filles doivent être écoutées et entendues.
