CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation

"Silence or hollow gestures of solidarity only make institutions complicit in the oppression and the injustice." CIVICUS' Jesselina Rana calls on the international community to demand justice and accountability for the people of #Palestine 🇵🇸 Read her latest op-ed for The New Humanitarian 🔗 web.civicus.org/SpeakUpNow 🍉🕊 #DayOfSolidarity #PalestinianSolidarityDay #CeasefireNOW

From 🍉 emojis to street protests ✊ we honour the different ways we show our support to the Palestinian people. We at CIVICUS and Resilience Pathways stand together with civil society to champion human rights, justice, and dignity. Read our statement 🔗 https://lnkd.in/deaJ6Niu #DayOfSolidarity #CeaseFireNow

#Georgia: The decision to delay EU talks until 2028 has sparked massive protests in Tbilisi. The police have used excessive force against protesters. We urge authorities to uphold the right to peaceful assembly and end police brutality. #CivicFreedoms

Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) are at the forefront of the global fight for human rights, driving positive change despite the disproportionate impact of shrinking civic space. Many WHRDs have been arbitrarily detained for their courage to stand for freedom and justice. Let’s support them and stand as their witness. We call for due process and their immediate, unconditional release. #StandAsTheirWitness #StandAsMyWitness #16DaysOfActivism 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gWkRpkR

"One out of three women in the world suffer from [gender-based] violence in their lives. Cuando tocan a una, nos tocan a todas, that means, when one of us gets attacked, you're attacking us all.

🟠 Civil society is at the forefront of the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). As anti-rights groups and movements push back against civil society action in different parts of the world, how can civil society hold the line? We look back to different stories on GBV this year from #CIVICUSLens' 2024 interviews with experts, activists, and leaders from Côte d'Ivoire, India, Kenya, Paraguay, Somalia, and Sudan. As we come together for #16DaysOfActivism, we reflect on the role and state of civil society in our continuous fight to eliminate GBV. #NoExcuse
