Disinformation is deepening divides, fueling crises around the world; while free press is under attack.
Just last year, 71 journalists killed, 320 imprisoned.
#WorldPressFreedomDay

Since 2016, 2,691 rights defenders were killed. Over 1/2 were environmental defenders.
This is unacceptable.
2024 is the biggest election year in history- a tremendous opportunity for change. Don't let it go to waste. Vote for defenders. For our planet. For our rights

#USA
: Universities have a strong tradition of student activism and strident debate – but recent heavy-handed steps to dismantle protests across campuses are troubling. Legitimate exercise of freedom of expression cannot be conflated with incitement.

#Iraq
: We are alarmed by the passing of a law that criminalises consensual same-sex relations as well as other forms of private consensual behaviour with jail terms of up to 15 years.
The law contradicts human rights treaties & should be shelved.

The oppression of half of humanity holds everyone back. Yet women & girls continue to be pushed away from decision-making & action.
To end poverty, horrific civilian suffering in war & rampant climate change, women's voices & contributions must be central to everything we do.

My message to Govts at
