Afghanistan
March 9, 2021
On #IWD2021 we call for the end to the killing of women activists and journalists in Afghanistan. This impunity must end and those responsible must be held accountable.
Process & talks with Taliban have many worried that women’s hard won rights may suffer setbacks in Afghanistan. But Afghan women and rights defenders have repeatedly said their rights are not up for negotiation.

Egypt’s gov must end systematic harassment, pressures & threats against NGOs. We urge Egyptian authorities to immediately stop targeting WHRDs w/ asset freezes, travel bans, arbitrary detention, & prison sentences. #SupportWHRDs #ProtectCivicSpace #IWD2021

مصر: يجب على الحكومة المصرية إنهاء المضايقات والضغوط والتهديدات الممنهجة ضد المنظمات غير الحكومية. أننا نحث السلطات المصرية على التوقف فورًا عن استهداف المدافعات عن حقوق الإنسان, كما نحثهم على التوقف عن تجميد الأصول وحظر السفر والاحتجاز التعسفي وأحكام السجن غير العادلة.
