🟠 تقرير المراجعة يشي بأن صندوق النقد بدا أكثر صرامة فيما يتعلق بالدور الاقتصادي للأجهزة السيادية. حيث أشار التقرير إلى هيمنة الشركات العسكرية على قطاعات اقتصادية استراتيجية، ما يعيق دخول القطاع الخاص لتلك القطاعات. كذلك يذكر تقرير المراجعة الرابعة إن الحكومة المصرية نشرت بيانات بحث الدخل والإنفاق، لكنها في الحقيقة لم تنشر سوى البيانات الخام. ولم تنشر الحكومة التقرير التحليلي لبحث الدخل والإنفاق.

In Jan 2025, the Israeli regime banned @UNRWA from operating in Palestine — a clear breach of international law with the aim to weaponize aid and impose famine.
With or without a ceasefire, States must fulfill their obligations to provide international protection by ensuring UNRWA’s complete access and operations in Palestine, and especially the Gaza Strip.
This requires the imposition of sanctions, lifting the ban and the complete disengagement of the GHF. UNRWA and its Services are our Right until Return. Reinstate UNRWA Now.
“What we have no clarity on yet is UNRWA’s ability to bring in the supplies we already have, which are about half of all UN supplies outside Gaza right now,” our Sam Rose tells @Channel4.
In UNRWA’s warehouses in Jordan and Egypt, we have enough food for the whole population of #Gaza for three months, blankets and tents for hundreds of thousands, and medicines to keep health clinics running.
We just need a ban on bringing it in to be lifted.

Their detention is not just unlawful, it is a punishment… instagr.am/p/DPlhCZvAs1T/

3 / 3 We can transform systems to ensure that women & gender diverse people’s human rights are respected and their labour is valued & protected. How? Listen to the workers & implement their demands! @GlobalSexWork @UN_WGDAWG

2 / 3 Yet the same neoliberal and patriarchal structures that enable labour exploitation, e.g unfair trade agreements, enable the violation of basic human rights. Whether it’s sex work or domestic work, precarity is shaped by systems @EgnaLegnaMDW @SexualRights

During the Human Rights Council 59 in Geneva, sex workers raised their voices at the Broken Chair — demanding dignity, decriminalization, and recognition. The call is clear: sex work is work, and human rights must include all. #SexWorkIsWork #HumanRights #DecriminalizeSexWork

"As sex workers, we demand respect for our consent when we say we choose sex work and when we demand the full decriminalisation of our work for our rights, health and safety."
