Urgent Alert: Afghan women are being silenced under a draconian new morality law that erases their voices and visibility in public life. This alarming development is not just a setback; it's a stark escalation in the Taliban's ongoing campaign of oppression. In a powerful article from JURIST, an anonymous Afghan legal scholar calls on the international community to act decisively against these egregious human rights violations. As global pressure mounts, the situation for women grows increasingly desperate. Join us in standing with Afghan women. Learn about their struggles and the critical need for accountability by reading the full article. https://bit.ly/4dwSiX6 #equality #justice #feminism

IANGEL is proud to endorse the critical resolution introduced by Rep. Nikema Williams, affirming that access to abortion is a fundamental human right. The resolution highlights several key points: ?? Human Rights Violations: Recent state restrictions on abortion violate international human rights treaties ratified by the U.S. ?? International Obligations: The UN Human Rights Committee has called on the U.S. to ensure access to comprehensive reproductive health services, including safe and legal abortions. ?? Legal and Safe Access: The resolution calls for repealing laws that criminalize abortion, ensuring individuals can access healthcare without legal repercussions. ?? Reproductive Rights: It reaffirms that reproductive rights are integral to human rights and urges states to protect these rights by repealing restrictive laws. ?? State Responsibilities: States must align their laws with international human rights obligations and ensure the availability of safe and legal reproductive health services. Join us in supporting this resolution and advocating for reproductive rights. Let’s work together to ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they deserve.
