"We cannot leave Afghan women to fight alone."
@UN_Women stresses that what we do - or fail to do - for Afghan women & girls is the ultimate test of who we are as a global community. unwo.men/OZUm50SXbKi

We were thrilled to collaborate with civil society partners yesterday on the draft crimes against humanity treaty.
A strong treaty is only possible through deep engagement from civil society. #CAHTreatyNow #ASP22 #NGOVoices xitter.cf/asiajcoalition/status/…
Packed room for CSO #CAH Convention workshop! Thanks to @UN_Women for hosting the side event and everyone for joining us for a rich discussion on the Draft Articles. We look forward to continuing the conversation and the movement on #CAHTreatyNow #ASP22 #NGOVoices
Representing @UN_Women at our final co-sponsored side event this #ASP, on addressing conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence in Ukraine. I'll have the pleasure of closing out the discussion. Thanks to @GRC_HumanRights for bringing us together.
Kicking off @UN_Women's third #ASP side event, a civil society workshop on the draft articles on crimes against humanity. Another full house for a critical conversation. So glad to be a 🪰on the wall! Thanks to @GlobalJusticeC and co-hosts for organizing.
#ASP side event two for @UN_Women ✔️ Excellent conversation on support to gender justice practitioners with cohosts @LegalActionWW, @AustraliaUN & @USGSRSGPatten @endrapeinwar.

A full house for the launch of the @IntlCrimCourt’s updated policy on sexual and gender-based crimes at #ASP22. A huge congrats to all who worked on this important document, and am particularly pleased to see the policy develop the concept of reproductive violence further.

❌493,000 women & girls displaced from their homes in #Gaza.
In the absence of a ceasefire, this number will only keep growing.

Civilians and civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget.
They must be protected.
At all times.
Everywhere.

Without #TransitionalJustice, grievances & hostility will fester & risk new cycles of devastating violence bursting forth.
Situation-specific & people-centered transitional justice processes are our best chance for lasting peace.

To protect & promote women’s human rights, transitional justice must contribute to transforming gender inequalities.
Honored to speak at the launch of the SG's Guidance Note on Transitional Justice, which sets gender-responsiveness as a key approach.

Closely following this excellent work from @GlobalJusticeC on the draft crimes against humanity treaty. 🤓
(1/6) TOMORROW: The UN #SixthCommittee will begin two days of debate on the draft crimes against humanity treaty.
Ahead of these historic proceedings, we are proud to publish several briefs that explore how the treaty could best address gender-based crimes.
Today, the @UN launches the Secretary-General's Guidance Note on #TransitionalJustice.
So proud of @UN_Women's contribution to the Guidance, which centers #GenderEquality.

Taliban authorities in Afghanistan are committing the crime against humanity of gender persecution against women and girls, @hrw said in a report released today. hrw.org/news/2023/09/08/afgh…
Honored to be a contributor to @just_security, with a post on the ICC OTP #genderpersecution policy. @UN_Women was proud to support the development of the policy and looks forward to supporting implementation, including through our partnership with @J_RapidResponse.
The #ICC’s gender persecution policy covers a wide variety of rights violations.
@emkenney writes that prosecutions can rely on evidence gathered by U.N. human rights investigations, but that pervasive gender discrimination will present a challenge.
