In light of United States sanctions against the ICC, we're joining +150 NGOs and individuals to urge protection for the court and those cooperating with it.

Well-deserved recognition for a tireless defender of the global rule of law and a peerless advocate for gender justice.
At a time when institutions like the International Criminal Court face historic threats, this award should renew our commitment to global peace and justice.

U.S. states with abortion bans are now suing states that protect providers who ship abortion pills.
We knew this was coming. If successful, it would close off one of the last remaining methods for millions to access their human right to abortion care. apnews.com/article/gop-democ…
We endorsed an amicus brief challenging the Trump administration's sanctions against the @IntlCrimCourt.
These sanctions are an existential threat to the international criminal justice system that serves as a last resort for many victims seeking justice. globaljusticecenter.net/amic…
On #InternationalSafeAbortionDay, we're once again urging the repeal of the Helms Amendment, which bans the use of U.S. foreign aid funds for abortion services.

NEW: The Myanmar military junta subjects women political prisoners to torture, sexual violence, and life-threatening denial of medical care. 🧵⤵️
This decision flies in the face of human rights standards and North Dakota constitutional guarantees that protect access to non-discriminatory healthcare.
We stand with trans youth and their families as they face further threats and persecution.

We filed an amicus brief in this case that made it clear that North Dakota's ban violated the human rights to life, bodily autonomy, non-discrimination, and more. globaljusticecenter.net/amic…

Universal Periodic Review (“UPR”) is a key UN Human Rights Council mechanism for accountability on human rights violations that all countries in the world participate in. Last year, in an unprecedented move, the United States announced it would no longer participate. This August, I traveled to Geneva with organizations from a Repro and Human Rights coalition that has been documenting reproductive and human rights violations in the United States as part of the UPR process.

Check out a clip from GJC Senior Legal Advisor Jaime Gher's speech at last week's rally in Indianapolis for a case considering the religious liberty of people who support abortion rights.

🎞️ Our senior legal advisor, Jaime Gher, was in Indianapolis last week to talk about the human right to freedom of conscience, religion and belief for those who support the right to abortion.
She spoke at a rally hosted by @ACLUIndiana, @w4ci_iupui, @NCJW, and more.
This week, an Indiana court is hearing a religious liberty case brought by a faith-based group that supports abortion rights.
⬇️ Today, we're launching a guide that can help others act on their conscience, religion, or beliefs to defend reproductive care. globaljusticecenter.net/leve…
For too long, claims of conscience, religion, and belief have been used to deny reproductive healthcare while those with beliefs that support access are ignored or sidelined.
Our guide shows that international human rights law strongly supports these pro-access beliefs.
"Justice is not only about what happens in courtrooms. For Rohingya, it means being able to return to our villages and our land."
For @AJEnglish, @tunkhin80 reflected on 9 years of genocide against the #Rohingya.
