By providing the RSF with arms, the UAE is prolonging a devastating conflict in Sudan that has already left over 12 million people displaced and nearly 25 million in dire need of humanitarian aid. We urge @POTUS to push for peace and stability in Sudan, including by creating and enforcing an arms embargo, as he meets with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed today in DC.

As we begin #PRIDE month, remember: the 🏳️‍🌈PRIDE celebrations are a demonstration of the power of inclusivity. PRIDE has brought the world a long way in the struggle to protect the human rights of LGBTQ+ people. So much has been won! But the progress that has been made is under threat. The world needs the spirit of PRIDE 🌈 more than ever today: to protect everyone’s health, we need to protect everyone’s rights. 👇🏾 unaids.org/en/resources/pres…

Reminds me of the COSF20. These were the testimonials for their 52 days and night in Kitalya Mini Max Prison. I hope you find healing soon. 💚 @UgandaCosf
After forced anal fingering using cooking oil and forced oral sex by fellow homophobic prisoners, countless rapes, thumps, stripped bare to see how a gay's anus looks like, labels, humiliation, beatings,

@GlobalFundWomen : 🌍 Climate justice is grounded in intersectionality, recognizing that the struggle for a just and sustainable future is deeply connected to struggles for racial justice, gender justice, immigration justice, and so many more.
🌊 Climate justice centers the lived realities and grounded knowledge of communities most impacted by -and least responsible for—the climate crisis,such as rural and communities in countries recovering from long histories of extraction, colonialism, and military conflict.

No Retreat No Surrender. We wont relent.. We will explore all available legal options & if need be, petition all Courts under the Sun, Moon and Stars until the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 is struck off the Law Books of Uganda. 2024, has no place 4 criminalising homosexuality.
