«از روز ملی زن در ایران تا روز جهانی زن» گفتگوی شهران طبری عضو شورای مرکزی جبهه هفت آبان با زنان صاحب‌نظر ایران، در فاصله‌ی اسپندگان بنا به تقویم اوستایی (اسفندروز از اسفندماه) تا هشتم مارس روز جهانی زن. گفتگوی دوم: مهناز افخمی، وزیر امور زنان در دوران پهلوی
Nearly 12,000 girls are at risk of FGM daily. WLP collaborates with our national partners & international organizations, like @UNFPA, to resource activists transforming the structures that perpetuate harmful practices like FGM. By supporting survivor-led movements we can #EndFGM.
🧵📢CSOs across #Kyrgyzstan have raised alarms about a new law that threatens rights to freedom of association and would make it more difficult for organizations promoting #humanrights to operate in the country.
Morocco is poised for legal reform that would advance the rights of women & girls. At a press conference organized by ADFM activists shared four areas of reform & called for the harmonization of the Family Code with international commitments to equality. fb.watch/pWqc3FsrAA/

The Iranian Diaspora Collective puts billboards of Nika Shakarami, Sarina Esmailzadeh and Mahsa Amini in NYC’s Times Square.
Since 2021, over 50 edicts, orders and restrictions have been put into place in #Afghanistan. Afghan women and girls must be free to move, to work, and to study. Independently, wherever and whatever they want. Their fundamental human rights must be restored IMMEDIATELY.
Today marks one year since the death in custody of Zhina #MahsaAmini in Iran. Instead of abolishing discriminatory compulsory veiling laws, Iranian authorities have waged an all-out assault on women's rights, unlawfully killed hundreds & tortured thousands #WomanLifeFreedom

The conflict between the Iranian people and the #IslamicRepublic isn’t just political- it’s existential. Iranian people, esp. Iranian women are fighting for their right to live, and to live according to their choices. And for this right, they are prepared to give their lives.
Thank you Christiane for having me on @CNN today to honor the anniversary of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement. We discussed the vital actions of Iranian women, both their lasting accomplishments, and the work that still needs to be done.

45 years ago, when Islamic-Marxist revolutionaries seized power in Iran, they tragically executed Farokhroo Parsa, the country's first female minister. Fortunately, @MahnazAfkhami, another pioneering female minister, safely escaped. Today, we honor their legacies and sacrifices.
In a letter to the Kyrgyz government last month, WLP echoes recommendations that the government include civil society in ensuring the bill meets international human rights standards. Read the letter here: wlp.digital/links
International policymakers, including UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Association @cvoule, continue to urge the Kyrgyz government to address concerns about a new bill that would restrict the activities of civil society in the country.

🌍Women are leading sustainable solutions to environmental challenges & their voices are critical to addressing the #climatecrisis. That is why WLP is excited to be a part of @projdandelion, a global, women-led campaign for climate justice. #projectdandelion #flwrpwr #COP28
In times of crisis, women and girls face disproportionate harm including higher rates of violence, exploitation, and discrimination. During the #16Days WLP will share how different crises exacerbate GBV and stories of women working to #endGBV. wlp.digital/16Days #NoExcuse
While women are often disproportionately impacted by climate change, they are also capable and ready to provide sustainable solutions for the communities and our world. #16Days #ClimateJustice #NoExcuse #Cop28
🧵The climate crisis threatens the security and rights of people around the world. When communities become stressed due to economic instability, food insecurity, and mental anxiety that are a result of climate change and natural disasters, various forms of GBV increase. #16Days
Women & girls’ safety, livelihood, and education have been disrupted across #Pakistan following two years of disastrous flooding. Aurat Foundation is working to ensure that relief efforts address elevated risks of GBV & protect #WomensRights. More: wlp.digital/16Days #16Days
On Nov 30, WLP President Dr. Azza Karam will join a panel of humanitarian leaders from different faith traditions for the #AuroraDialogues. Panelists will explore questions about the role of religion in supporting humanitarian action & uniting people in a polarized world.
Join the #AuroraDialogues Online event titled “Faith in Humanity: Religion as a Uniting Force for Good” on November 30, 2023, to explore whether religion and faith are still capable of guiding #humanitarian action and motivating personal courage and commitment to helping others․
“This International Day of Solidarity comes during one of the darkest chapters in the history of the Palestinian people. Palestinians in #Gaza are suffering a humanitarian catastrophe.” @antonioguterres’s statement: un.org/en/observances…
Equality in the family means justice - a necessity for a fair society. Discriminatory family laws undermine women's access to the just & timely procedures that uphold their rights. #16DaysOfActivism #FreeOurFamilyLaws
Studies show that women's economic security helps protect against GBV. Research also found that rural communities with land rights are often better environmental stewards. @ADFMRabat works with Soulaliyate women to secure communal land rights, advancing #gender & #climatejustice.
Amid news that a record # of fossil fuel lobbyists are at #COP28 - and as advocates hold actions to #EndFossilFuels - we maintain that a complete fossil fuel phaseout underpins #ClimateJustice & #GenderEquality. Read a feminist take on fossil fuels here: wedo.org/a-feminist-ref…
The WGC is clear: KEEP IT IN THE GROUND! #EndFossilFuels: fast, fair, #feminist, forever! Move money away from fossil fuels and fund frontline, #genderjust, community led & socially owned solutions that already exist to scale! #feministClimateJustice #COP28UAE
In northeast Kyrgyzstan environmental degradation caused by negligent mining practices has had a devastating impact on women’s sexual & reproductive health. WLP's partner, Bir Duino, is working with impacted women to seek justice & secure the future of their communities. #16Days
