📢Grateful for an Inspiring Visit! We had the privilege of hosting Ms. Trishna, from FHI360 Headquarters, EpiC Project, and Pradeep Kumar Thakur Sir at NCS City Clinic, Lagankhel, Lalitpur. #FHI360 #EpiCProject #NCSNepal #KPfriendlyServices #SavingLives https://t.co/FxKp8JmBZm

We should work together as cross-movement alliances becos it can easily lift amplifying voices & increase our representation in different areas so everyone can see our capability and strength. For example, when we went to Geneva, our issues were heard by the CEDAW committee,(1/2)

17 Human Rights Defender orgs including @IM_Defensoras a strategic partner of @OVOFconsortium,launched the Declaration +25 @UN_HRC today. The Declaration +25 is an international legal framework which promotes and protects the rights of Human Rights defenders. #right2defendrights

Decriminalisation is a feminist approach #DecrimSexWork #SexWorkIsWork

Join the side event at @UN_HRC hosted by @SexualRights & @GlobalSexWork on Decriminalising Sex Work: A Human Rights Imperative. The sex worker movements will highlight the urgent need to decriminalize sex work. #DecriminalizeSexWork Registration 🔽 https://t.co/n2CyioybHR

d. pimps have power over the workers and should we not criminalise them? I was deeply impressed by the sexworker representatives from @GlobalSexWork who answered her with calm & patience. So much dignity in their effort to explain to @Winnie_Byanyima their lived reality. 3/4

Sexworkers established sisterhood with @Winnie_Byanyima and told her how sex work actually uplifted them from poverty, helped feed & educate their children, a roof, healthy families, how they organised 4 safe working conditions & to fight violence and exploitation. Salute!

@Winnie_Byanyima EXD @UNAIDS met sex workers & allies from @GlobalSexWork @SexualRights @SWASASouthAsia re the @reemalsalem76 SR-VAW report on 'prostitution' to be presented at the 56th HRC on 21st June 2024. Reassured by UNAIDS support yet very hurt by Winnie's comments. 1/4

@Winnie_Byanyima agreed that decriminalization is the only answer but wondered why a. criminalisation of demand is a problem. b. how sexwork is considered work when poor women are forced by poverty to take it up c. if sexworkers would advocate this work for their children d. 2/4

Red all details from the Sex Worker Donor Collaborative web page:

As a member of the #Fem4PeoplesVaccine campaign, IWRAW Asia Pacific, together with @DAWNfeminist and @3rdworldnetwork, submitted a shadow report to #CEDAW regarding Belgium's opposition, as an EU member, to a #TRIPSWaiver, blocking vaccine equality ⬇️

Thanks for this drawing @IWRAW_AP We sex workers say that sex work is really about work when people just want to see sex. Most of the work is often to advertise, negociation, selection, answering the clients, arranging space and conditions, safety, etc than just the "sex" itself

We join over 160 organisations in solidarity with Iranian women & protesters. We urge UN & member states to work with Turkey & Kurdistan Regional Government to ease border crossing restrictions for rights defenders fleeing to safety from Iran: https://t.co/bJC1rWvKFx #MahsaAmini

१ र १ मिलेर २ हुन्छ भने त्यो 'गणित' हो । १ र १ मिलेर ११ हुन्छ भने त्यो 'सङ्गठन' हो । १ र १ मिलेर १ नै भयो भने त्यो 'प्रेम' हो । १ र १ मिलेर ० भयो भने त्यो 'अध्यात्म' हो । १ लाई १ सँग मिल्न नदिए त्यो 'कूटनीति' हो । १ लाई १ का विरुद्ध खडा गरे त्यो 'राजनीति' हो |

विश्वव्यापी रुपमा हरेक तीन जना महिलामा एक जनाले शारीरिक वा यौनजन्य हिंसाको सामना गरेको देखिन्छ। नेपाल प्रहरीमा दर्ता भएका कुल अपराध मध्ये ४०% लैंगिक हिंसाका घटनाहरु भएको देखिन्छ। लैङ्गिक हिंसा विरुद्ध एकजुट भएर लडौं। #16DaysofActivicimAgainstGenderBasedViolence
