Less than 4 months ago, Hungary spoke at the #ASP, calling on states to “end impunity” & “avoid non-essential contact” with ICC suspects.

Today, it welcomes Netanyahu—subject of an active ICC arrest warrant—and announces plans to leave the Court.

❌lack access to legal and affordable #abortion care

"Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) does not emerge in a vacuum. It is rooted in gender inequality, rooted in the patriarchy that exists long before the first shot is fired.”

🚨 UN report details Israel's systematic sexual, reproductive & gender-based violence against Palestinians.

It confirms what Palestinians have long said: Israel's deliberate targeting of healthcare is a calculated weapon of war.

🚨 International Women’s Day should not be a comfort zone.

For 30 years, feminist activists built the frameworks for gender justice.
The solutions exist—what’s missing?
Political will. Urgency. Funding.

From March 8-14, we're asking: Where is the justice? Stay tuned.

🚨 The Netherlands is cutting €2.4B in development aid - stopping ALL PROJECTS for gender equality & women’s rights.

Why? Because it doesn’t serve "Dutch interests" of trade and economy, security and stability, and migration.

But gender justice 𝘪𝘴 security, 𝘪𝘴 economic growth, 𝘪𝘴 stability.

Good morning. The #Netherlands is cutting its #DevelopmentAid by 2.4 billion. 50% cut to #Unicef. #WomensRights, #GenderEquality, #Education, #Climate, you name it. Gone. As a country, we are so wealthy, and yet...We keep cutting taxes for the rich. #Nederland

On #WorldSocialJusticeDay, we highlight the systemic reproductive violence inflicted on Palestinian women in Gaza.

These are not just tragedies; they are crimes.

The fight for gender justice is a fight for social justice.

A reminder that a fractured, war-torn world can be VERY profitable for those at the top.

Every act against global solidarity—like freezing mindboggling amounts of development aid—will only serve to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

We'll all reap the consequences of their isolationism.
1/ 🚨Development aid isn’t just financial support—it’s an investment in global resilience.

We condemn the decision to freeze nearly all #USAID funding for 90 days. This puts millions at risk.

The gendered impacts of this will be profound 🧵⬇️
U.S. Halt to Foreign Aid Cripples Programs Worldwide
Many of the frozen programs are aimed at alleviating disease and malnutrition, but even security programs with U.S. funding are shutting down.

So fantastic to see this from @intlcrimcourt.bsky.social!!!

Narrow definitions and one-size-fits-all approaches overlook so much complex suffering.

Hopeful for everyone in Afghanistan fighting for change, and hopeful that this will set a new precedent for justice globally 🌈
🚨 NEWS: The @intlcrimcourt.bsky.social has applied for arrest warrants for Taliban leadership.

The Office of the Prosecutor asserts that the Taliban's violent imposition of restrictive views on gender and sexuality can be construed as a crime against humanity.

Here's why this matters🧵⬇️
