Anti-LGBTQIA+ sentiment puts communities at risk of violence, discrimination, and more. A world without hate is possible, and one Tanzanian lesbian organizer shares with us her vision of what that could be. #StoriesOfPride "I hope for a future without discrimination, where everyone lives without fear of being judged. I want supportive and inclusive communities, a cleaner environment, better health, more love, and less hate, where everyone feels valued and accepted."

This past May, over 40 community advocates, health professionals, and experts came together at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg in the second of a series of convenings to develop recommendations for the Principles on the Crime of Gender Persecution. Together, they analyzed gender persecution through a lens of Indigenous rights, Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ rights, immigrant and refugee rights, intergroup conflict and reconciliation, and health equity, among other topics. These convenings, an initiative supported by Dalberg Catalyst through a grant from The Rockefeller Foundation, are bringing together gender persecution survivors, legal experts, and other representatives of communities affected by conflict or crisis all over the world to provide input on the Principles for the ICC’s Office of the Prosecutor. The Principles present an opportunity to address the discrimination that leads to gender-based violence, take the term "gender persecution" beyond courtrooms, and change the way it is approached in our day-to-day. As one participant at our first convening in Bogota said, “Naming … the crime of gender persecution is definitely an opportunity to investigate the structures of power. That’s why it’s so important." Read more about the outcomes of the convening and how you can get involved in this historic process. https://t.co/pOJ4Mdg1yA

While Congress is in recess, children in Gaza haven’t had a respite from violence, displacement, and hunger for 10 months. Gaza’s children, just like American children, deserve safety, joy, and rest. #NoRecessForGaza #NotAnotherBomb https://bit.ly/3Mf4aS6

Spending half her life as a refugee, Jamila Afghani, Founder and President of WILPF Afghanistan and MADRE partner, is mobilizing for a feminist peace for #Afghan women and girls. "I don’t remember a single day in Afghanistan that there was no bomb blast or there was no fighting or shooting or firing. That feeling always pushed me to work for peace. I should not let my children or the new generation of the country suffer from the same trauma that I have been dealing with."

Thousands of children in Gaza have been orphaned by Israeli bombardment, losing entire families with such frequency that doctors have created a new acronym unique to Gaza: “WCNSF – Wounded Child, No Surviving Family.” Tell Congress: #NoRecessForGaza https://lnkd.in/eEzUnh6D
