🚨 The online abuse being directed at #Khelif & #YuTing is dangerous, misinformed + grounded in misogynistic, patriarchal stereotypes.
These women deserve dignity, respect & the right to play free from discrimination.✊

Today 56 UN Member States (a new record!) from all regions joined a statement led by @FinlandGeneva on a call to increase efforts to combat violence, harmful practices and discrimination against intersex persons. Another landmark on advancing #intersex human rights at the UN!

Indian authorities have blocked internet access for about 27 million people in the state of Punjab for a third straight day -- one of the country's most extensive blackouts in recent years -- as police search for a Sikh separatist on the run. cnn.it/3Z8o59C

Hundreds of New York Times contributors and readers: We’re concerned that the anti-trans bias in your paper could have devastating effects, both on individuals and society as a whole.
The New York Times:
Take action now! Make your voice count!
The New York Times is contributing to transphobia and harm against trans people — and we need your help fighting back. Tell them you won't tolerate continued disinformation & attacks against trans people. Make your voice heard and send them a letter. hrc.im/CallOutNYT
The right to strike and the right to peaceful assembly is fundamental for all!
In #solidarity with UK trade unions and workers defending the right to #strike! #RightToStrike

Measuring inclusion and non-discrimination is at the root of achieving equality. So I am happy that I get to support the @LSE_TII in achieving this goal!
📢#Announcement TII is excited to welcome Gurchaten Sandhu, Director of Programmes at ILGA World to the Advisory Board.
We look forward to the value Gurchaten's experience will add to TII🥳

We must stand together against anti-rights and anti-gender narratives. Gender equality must be addressed holistically. Women’s rights are human rights. #16Days

Gender equality can only be achieved if all women, in all their diversity, are included. With only 1/10 countries protecting trans people from discrimination, trans women face particularly high levels of violence. Protection starts with recognition.

Will you be at the #ILGAAsia2022 conference? Let's meet up to talk about the digital divide is affecting your communities!
ALT A drawing of a jigsaw in rainbow colours, missing a piece. Text reads: "How is the digital divide affecting your community? And how is your organisation working to reach LGBTI people who are most affected by it? ILGA World is starting a research project on the topic. If you are at the ILGA Asia conference and want to participate, write to media@ilga.org to arrange a meeting / consultation / interview during the event!"

#Qatar2022: @sport_rights calls on FIFA to "issue a public statement reinforcing their commitment to human rights, how they intend to remedy the incidents that have already occurred" at the #WorldCup "and what measures they are putting in place as guarantees of non-repetition"
🚨 Multiple human rights abuses taking place in the 1st week of the @FIFAWorldCup reveal significant backsliding w/in FIFA on human rights. #FIFA must act now to show its human rights commitments are still in force during #Qatar2022

This is not what we were assured. @FIFAcom have lost all credibility for their human rights work!
#WorldCupQatar2022: journalists + fans have been refrained from entering stadiums with 🏳️🌈 hats, shirts, flags & #FIFA banned footballers' shirts and armbands alluding to the #LGBTQ community (and even just the word "love"). Solidarity gestures should be protected, not censored.
