"To mark International Human Rights Day, I appeared on the podcast, "The Witch

impact persons with albinism. The conversation also highlighted the UN
resolution on the elimination of such practices. Listen to or watch the episode

On Human Rights Day, December 10th, marking 75 years since the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, we explore one of humanity’s ongoing challenges:
how differences continue to be met with fear, persecution, and violence. We
welcome special guest Muluka-Anne Miti-Drummond, United Nations Independent
Expert on the Enjoyment of Human Rights by Persons with Albinism, for a critical
discussion that epitomizes Human Rights Day 2024. Her vital work documents how
harmful practices and ritual attacks continue to threaten the lives of persons
with albinism in Africa and globally, challenging the fundamental principles the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created to protect. Our conversation
examines how beliefs that lead to harm continue to target persons with albinism,
particularly women and children. Through the framework of United Nations
Resolution 47/8 on accusations of witchcraft and ritual attacks, we explore how
countries worldwide are developing protective measures while respecting cultural
contexts. As we mark International Human Rights Day and its vision of dignity
for all people regardless of race, color, religion, abilities, or status, this
discussion provides both a sobering look at ongoing human rights challenges and
hope through education, awareness, and community engagement. Join this crucial
exploration of human rights protection, where harmful practices meet National
Action Plans, and learn how global communities are working together to ensure
safety and dignity for persons with albinism. https://lnkd.in/gZJ4Q6Fr

🌟Personal Experience and Introspection: Our Fight for Freedom and Justice🌟
As human rights defenders, we tirelessly dedicate ourselves to reuniting
children who have been deported to Russia with their families. Our incredible
team ensures that, upon their return, these children are met with compassion
and provided with sustainable solutions for a hopeful future. Amidst the
chaos and brutality of war, we also work on a communication strategy to keep
you informed about our efforts and the atrocities we witness. Every day, we
face significant threats and complex political issues that challenge our
mission. It's frustrating to encounter political agendas, financial
interests, that detract from the real purpose of our work. Sometimes, it
feels like shouting, "We are not your enemy!" We are united in fighting the
same battles, yet the energy is too often diverted into superficial PR rather
than genuine help for those in need. The silence we maintain is to protect
the delicate operations we conduct, but the personal suffering is immense.
One day, these stories will be told, preparing future human rights defenders
for the difficult path ahead—even when they are doing their best. This is not
about fame or recognition but about true, steadfast commitment to those who
need it most. To all of you who truly know these stories, keep resisting.
After all we’ve faced, nothing will ever stop us from helping those in need.
We will not be silenced or intimidated because we live in a democratic world
where freedom is our foundation. As I heard a few days ago: "A strong civil
society is the beating heart of a healthy democracy. There is no healthy
democracy without freedom. There is no healthy democracy without a strong
civil society." — Alain Berset We will not compromise our values, ethics, and
principles. It is our duty to speak out when we see manipulation and
injustice in the system. Here are the principles that guide the Emile
Foundation 👇 🌟Child-centred approach: Prioritising the needs and rights of
children in all our efforts. 🌟Rebellion: Challenging injustices and
advocating for change. 🌟Depth: Committing to thorough understanding and
thoughtful action. 🌟Ideal: Upholding high standards and aspirations for
human rights. 🌟Vigilance: Maintaining constant awareness and readiness to
act against injustice. Share, support, and speak if you agree 🆙 #ChildRights

Happy Emancipation Day: Celebrating Freedom and Equality. Today, on
Emancipation Day, we come together to commemorate a momentous milestone in
human history: the liberation of those who were oppressed and the
proclamation of their inalienable rights to freedom and equality. This date
not only reminds us of the end of slavery, but also prompts us to reflect on
the constant fight for justice and human rights. It is a day to honor those
brave men and women who, through their resistance and sacrifice, managed to
break the chains of oppression. #trinidadandtobago #EmancipationProclamation

Child Rights Connect wants to create a world where all child human rights
defenders, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation and gender
identity, socio-economic status, disability, race, political opinion, and any
other characteristics, are recognized, safe, supported, and empowered to:
-take part in decisions that affect them and can keep making a positive
difference in the world; -fully exercise their rights (that is: when people
speak up, act, or make choices to show and use the freedoms and rights they
have, like the right to learn, the right to be safe, or the right to share
their ideas); call on NGOs and governments to be accountable.

#Europe: Recent judgements contrary to the child’s #righttoidentity In a
series of recent judgements at the European Court of Human Rights (#ECtHR),
there has been a degressive trend from international norms, guaranteeing the
child’s right to identity in #familyrelations (Art. 8(1) CRC). In the
decision Gauvin-Fournis and Silliau c. France, (Application 21424/16 and
45728/17), the ECtHR by a small majority refused the applicant’s request for
information about their #donors. Despite the magnitude of persons affected by
this type of conception, facing a lifetime of incomplete #identities, the
applicants request to be heard by the Grand Chamber was refused on the
19/2/2024. In the case of Cherrier v France (Application 18843/20) the ECtHR
again refused to align the French laws with the #UNCRC related to their
identity on 30/01/24. The ECtHR found that it was within #France’s margin of
appreciation to not provide information about a birth mother to an #adoptee,
born through "naissance sous X". These decisions present a worrying direction
contrary to the State’s obligation to preserve and speedily re-establish
missing elements of the child’s identity. To the contrary, the ECtHR,
continues to implicitly support anonymous practices without any real
opportunity for reparations for #children and persons who find themselves in
these situations. It is not clear how such decisions can ever be aligned with
the #CRC Committee’s 2023 recommendation to France that they “ensure that
children born through assisted reproduction technologies have
#accesstoinformation about their #origins before they reach the age of 18,
whenever they make a request to that effect” and previous recommendations to
remove the condition of the mother’s consent before the child can know their
origins. There is hope in the minority decisions in both cases, which pave
the way for the enjoyment the right to identity. See also ➡️ Legal

As (Khun Dio) a student activist and a youth researcher, I pointed out how we
can prepare or guarantee minority rights or human rights for every community
with different characteristics in Burma via this dialogue session with the
other state cabinet members. (1) enacting laws on how can guarantee minority
rights in the national-level and state-level constitution, (2) dividing of
adequate power and the power of allocating natural resources, and (3)
inclusivity in the political decision-making process. Furthermore, I suggest
that there is a political conflict that can emerge between the state-level
stakeholders and the National Unity Government (NUG) when it comes to
self-governance beyond the post-conflict. I believe that it would be
beneficial for all stakeholders to consider how to tackle this problem.

Happy Human Rights Day South Africa! Human Rights Day is a significant
national observance that commemorates the Sharpeville massacre of 1960 and
celebrates the country's commitment to human rights, freedom, and democracy.
Here are some key points about South African Human Rights Day: Historical
Context: On March 21, 1960, thousands of unarmed protesters gathered in the
township of Sharpeville to protest against the apartheid pass laws, which
required black South Africans to carry identification documents at all times.
The peaceful demonstration turned violent when police opened fire on the
crowd, killing 69 people and injuring hundreds more. Significance of
Sharpeville: The Sharpeville massacre was a turning point in South Africa's
struggle against apartheid, drawing international attention to the injustices
of the regime and galvanizing support for the anti-apartheid movement. The
tragic events of Sharpeville highlighted the need for fundamental changes to
the country's racial policies and spurred resistance against apartheid both
domestically and globally. Recognition of Human Rights: South African Human
Rights Day serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding human rights
and promoting equality and justice for all citizens. It honors the sacrifices
made by those who fought for freedom and democracy in the face of oppression
and discrimination. Celebration and Reflection: On Human Rights Day, South
Africans come together to commemorate the victims of the Sharpeville massacre
and reflect on the progress made in advancing human rights since the end of
apartheid. It is a time to celebrate the country's diverse cultures, values,
and traditions while reaffirming the commitment to building a society based
on equality, dignity, and respect for all. Overall, South African Human
Rights Day is a solemn yet hopeful occasion that underscores the importance
of protecting and promoting human rights as a cornerstone of democracy and
nation-building. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice
and equality and the collective responsibility to uphold the principles of
human dignity and freedom for future generations.

There is a narrative that book banning and censorship are supported by those
of faith. This is not true. After reading the latest update from
#UniteAgainstBookBans, I am so impressed with religious communities' work to
stop censorship. From the update: "A new resolution from the Episcopal Church
encourages members to advocate within their local contexts not only in
opposition to book bans, but to include diverse and affirming books in church
libraries as well as to preserve the history and experiences of the BIPOC and
LGBTQ+ faithful." Bravo, Qiana Johnson - strong work. Read the full
resolution here: https://lnkd.in/g_iSSR4Z They are all connected: freedom of
speech, freedom of worship, freedom to read, freedom... From Banned Books,
Banned Beliefs: "Unfortunately, some of those who want to ban books use
religion as a cover for their attempts to shut down the freedom to read. If
successful, book banning is a political strategy that could silence diverse
religious voices and traditions that are a major part of the rich social
fabric of America." "People of faith have historically been at the forefront
of movements for justice, equality, and democracy. The battle over censorship
is another moment when we are called to action. As with any major challenge,
it can be difficult to know where to start. Thankfully, there are
straightforward actions all of us from faith communities can take today to
ensure the freedom to read and freedom of belief." Banned Books Banned

The human rights protection some of us have can only be safeguarded when we
constantly uphold, promote & defend it. From Gaza to Gugulethu, we must keep
up the action to protect & uphold human rights. It is our responsibility to
ensure everyone is protected and not just the few. Particular concern is the
ongoing failure to protect the rights of Palestinians, Congolese and Sudanese
citizens who continue to suffer at the hands of the global capitalist and
military powers. Driven by greed, conquest and accumulation. The UN Security
Council has primary responsibility to ensure peace and security, yet continue
to fail at their duty. What is happening clearly indicates the need to reform
the system, as stated and supported by the current UN Secretary General. But
in the meantime #CeasefireNOW

Children’s rights need to be at the forefront of government policy. We are
delighted to support the Children’s Rights Charter from @CRAE_official,
joining nearly 90 organisations in urging the new UK Government to take
decisive action to protect and prioritise children’s rights. Our collective
voice calls for a children's rights strategy; the appointment of a Cabinet
Minister for Children; mandatory child rights impact assessments; increased
budget allocations for children; a strategy for increasing awareness,
knowledge and understanding of children's rights; and incorporation of the UN
Convention on the Rights of the Child into domestic law. We must ensure that
children’s rights are at the heart of policymaking and that every child can
thrive. 🔗 Read our recommendations here: https://bit.ly/3LqBOE0 #UNCRC
