"What they are doing to women is not normal. Or at least it’s not normal yet. Don’t let sport be used to make us feel like it is." Afghan women are calling for a boycott of the Afghan cricket team to protest the Taliban's regime of gender apartheid.

Yesterday, President Trump issued an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court. We stand with our fellow human rights organizations, who we joined last month for a letter raising the danger and recklessness of sanctions.

NEW: We just published our submission to UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health @drtlaleng, which details how healthcare workers have been impacted by the U.S. abortion rights crisis. Across the board, abortion bans are a public health disaster.

A new report from @hrw analyzes the devastating impact of Israel's war in Gaza on pregnant people. After more than a year of war, pregnant people face a nearly collapsed healthcare system. This ongoing human rights violation must be investigated.

A great podcast from @hrw on the International Criminal Court and its history amidst the latest attacks from the United States. The court has its problems, but it remains an indispensable institution that must be strengthened, not undermined.
Why was the idea of an international criminal court controversial? In a new episode of HRW's Rights & Wrongs podcast, we unpack the origins of the ICC. Listen now ⤵️ Spotify: Apple Podcasts:

Reports are surfacing that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has hired a conspiratorial journalist who was fired from the first Trump administration for associating with racists. As we said in our recent @MsMagazine piece, Rubio is no moderate.

The same military that has used gender-based violence as a weapon of war for decades is now taking steps to conscript women into active service. Any time the conflict in #Myanmar intensifies, women bear unique and devastating impacts.

We're glad New York officials are refusing to cooperate with a Louisiana's court's indictment of a New York doctor for allegedly sending abortion pills to Louisiana. Pro-abortion rights states must remain defiant to preserve access to the abortion pill.

"The Chronicle reports that in 2023, at least 100 minors had to leave Texas for abortion care; at least six of the minors were children under 12 years old." Abortion bans are inflicting senseless and extreme cruelty on the most vulnerable populations.

Tomorrow marks four years since the military coup in #Myanmar. Today, the military is intensifying attacks on civilians, causing a vast humanitarian disaster. The world continues to fail the people of Myanmar, who are risking everything to fight back. We stand with them.

NEW: We signed a letter opposing the framing of a recent call for input by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls. By insisting on a “sex-based” approach, the call furthers the rapporteur's regressive campaign against trans rights.

As one of the hundreds of organizations around the world who spoke out against these reckless sanctions on the ICC, we're glad the legislation failed in the US Senate. But we know this fight is not over. We must continue to defend the court.

(2/2) Under a regime like Trump's, essential and multifaceted sexual health programs are collapsed into salacious sexual innuendos. It reveals an incapability of viewing the world outside of a narrow and feeble need to dominate and possess.

This is what happens when foreign aid is needlessly and abruptly cut off: incredibly vulnerable people like refugees are denied lifesaving care. The people of #Myanmar have endured enough suffering. We urge other governments to fill this critical aid gap.
The suspension of US aid funding is having catastrophic effects on vulnerable communities. Patients in need of critical care in refugee camps have been discharged, and clinics have started to close. The community, in distress, now faces significant challenges.

The UN Human Rights Committee just issued sweeping rulings that affirm the human right to abortion care. Congratulations to @ReproRights and the “they are girls, not mothers” movement for this victory that will impact abortion seekers around the world.
