✅ Ensuring equitable representation for all genders in #NHRIs ✅ Promoting accountability for #humanrights violations ✅ Adopting a rights-based model of data collection   The Kathmandu Declaration, adopted yesterday, is a valuable roadmap to advance #GenderInclusion in NHRIs globally. GANHRI and NHRIs worldwide look forward to working together to build on the Conference outcomes.   We applaud the efforts of the Nepal NHRC and Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions to convene the International Conference on Gender Inclusion in NHRIs, attended by 19 NHRIs from the Asia Pacific region.   Read the Declaration: https://bit.ly/3ZdHklN #GenderInclusion #ParisPrinciples #StrongNHRIs

We applaud the efforts of the Nepal NHRC and Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions to convene the International Conference on Gender Inclusion in NHRIs, from 3-5 September 2024. In her opening statement to delegates, GANHRI (Global Alliance Of National Human Rights Institutions) Chair Maryam Abdullah Al-Attiyah stressed that a commitment to pluralism demands the meaningful inclusion of women across all aspects of the composition and operations of #NHRIs. The discussions over the coming days, and the Kathmandu Declaration to be adopted, will be of immense value to NHRIs in all regions. #GenderInclusion #ParisPrinciples #StrongNHRIs

Business operations around the world contribute significantly to #ClimateChange. #NHRIs are helping change that story.

At the start of the #HLPF in New York, we are highlighting the significant value that #NHRIs can contribute to the official sessions and side events, including Voluntary National Reviews by States on implementation of the 2030 Agenda. In all regions, NHRIs play a key role to implement and monitor progress towards the #SDGs. NHRI participation is crucial to present the hopes and concerns of the communities they serve.

Ahead of the #HLPF in New York on Monday, we are urging political leaders to bolster their support for #NHRIs and refresh momentum for the #SDGs. The meeting will include a review of five Goals, including SDG 16, which has the “existence of independent NHRIs in compliance with the #ParisPrinciples” as a global indicator. However, a 2023 report by UN agencies described efforts towards achieving SDG 16 as “worryingly slow” and, in some cases, “even moving in the wrong direction”. To restore progress towards SDG 16, we urge Governments to strengthen existing NHRIs, including by providing them with adequate technical and financial resources, and ensuring that they and other human rights defenders are effectively protected. We also encourage the establishment of independent NHRIs in those countries where they do not currently exist. Read our statement: https://bit.ly/3zxJcef

Today we express our solidarity with all survivors and victims of #torture. Any act of torture and ill-treatment violates human dignity and can never be justified. When investigating allegations of torture, #NHRIs commit to a victim-centered and trauma-informed approach. Read the Kyiv-Copenhagen Declaration: https://bit.ly/3SMVcAa
