The war is still there people are getting killed every hour in Gaza Palestine For the feminists & woman rights supporters across the world: - 2 women are killed every 1-2 hours - women are not having any hygienic products for their health speaking of the basic sanitry napkins. - women are losing their babies because of malnutrition they are getting so their babies die in their wombs. For the child rights supporters: - 50% of the kills in Gaza are kids under the age of 10 - Kids are suffering from severe starvation - Kids are suffering from diseases due to lack of hygienic setup. - Kids are starved from sleeping because of the non stop bombarding - Kids are mentally sabotaged with what they had witnessed from the death all around them. For the human rights supporters - more than 30,000 human being souls simply disappeared from earth. - Complete families got wiped out in a blink of an eye - Food, water & petroleum reaching to Gaza is way way low compared to the normal human being needs - People are sleeping in tents in the hard cold winter. What else does the world need to see to stop this genocide and stand with the right. #palestinelivesmatter #palestinegenocide #palestinesolidarity #israelwarcrimes

In recent months, the humanitarian situation in Haiti has become severely dire, unimaginable, and unbearable. The unprecedented gang violence has been so ruthless that girls as young as twelve are being raped and assassinated. Women are being kidnapped and sexually persecuted. Men are being shot by bullets in daylight.   The surge in #killings, #rape, and #injuries has already turned the whole country into hell. People are screaming and lamenting all over the region. Neither the Haitian government nor the international communities are taking robust steps to make collective defenses against the gangs. Consequently, the #humanitarian situation is getting worse day by day, as expected.   It's assumed that the Haitian National Police doesn't have enough manpower, arms, and logistics to counter violent gangs, which is the root cause of such carnage. The lack of multinational security support can be another root cause for the escalation of the #Haiticrisis.   The instability and turmoil in #Haiti can impact other Caribbean countries in the future unless we prevent it. Millions of people in that region may lose their lives, flee their homes, and accept a life full of misery if we stay silent. Millions of innocent children may lose their parents, be deprived of education, and suffer from malnutrition if we fail to find a permanent solution to the problems.   The efforts and aid provided by the United Nations must be increased to protect Haitians. They must find the best ways to deter the gang leaders from carrying out such inhumane activities. Apart from the #UnitedNations, #HumanRightsWatch, #AmnestyInternational, #HumanRightsDefenders, and other human rights organizations must work together to avert the spreading of violence in Haiti. And it's urgent! Ebadul Haque Human Rights Activist

We might have many opinions on the historic conflict between Israel and Palestine, but this is what comes to my mind EVERY SINGLE DAY after I read comments justifying this seemingly relentless carnage: This indiscriminate massacre has targeted a population in its vast majority unarmed, and of which 47.3% are under the age of 18, and therefore children (who have never participated of any election). Even before the annihilation of Ghaza started we knew this: "A 2021 report by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor found 91% of Gazan children suffered from conflict-related trauma. A 2022 report by Save The Children found 80% of children reported emotional distress — up from 55% in 2018." So...and after all we have seen and heard in the past 100 days...with a population close to famine and more vulnerable than ever to die because of deadly diseases' outbreaks... Are we still debating 'genocidal intent'? Don't we all know that South Africa is actually doing the right thing for the sake of humanity? https://lnkd.in/eEm2_ZNT

The Unseen Victims of War: Palestinian Children The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing for decades, with both sides suffering immense losses. However, there is a group that often goes unseen and unheard - the children. Palestinian children are growing up in a war zone, where the sound of gunfire and explosions is a constant reality. They are being denied their basic rights to education, healthcare, and a childhood free from fear. The statistics are heartbreaking: - Over 2,000 Palestinian children have been killed since 2000 - Thousands more have been injured, many with lifelong disabilities - Children make up over 50% of the Palestinian refugee population - Access to education and healthcare is severely limited due to the conflict These children are not just statistics - they are innocent lives, full of hope and potential. They deserve a chance to grow up in peace and safety. Let us not forget the children of Palestine and the impact this conflict has on their young lives. Let us work towards a future where all children can thrive, regardless of their background or nationality. #PalestinianChildren #ChildrenOfWar #IsraeliPalestinianConflict #HumanRights #PeaceForAll

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons ‘No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms’, Article 4, Universal Declaration of Human Rights in relation to human trafficking. Human trafficking is illegal everywhere, yet it still occurs. Modern slavery is happening in our communities as an unseen crime in hotels, car washes, restaurants, nail salons and private homes. The essence of slavery is that of total control and dehumanisation of individuals. This year’s theme for World Day Against Trafficking is ‘Leave No Child Behind in the Fight Against Human Trafficking’. From Uyghur children being separated from their families and placed into children's re-education schools masked as ‘boarding schools’ and orphanages, to unaccompanied refugee children falling survivors to exploitation and trafficking across the UK, human trafficking remains untreated. Instead, too many UK policies criminalise survivors and abandon those trafficked to the UK, providing too few legal and safe routes and holistic support for survivors. From scripture, 'there is no mitzvah greater than freeing captives’, to forced labour camps during the Holocaust, slavery and trafficking are unavoidably connected to the Jewish experience. Our foundational narrative of a people led from bondage to freedom urges us to speak out, especially when faced with the inhumane reality of modern-day slavery and trafficking. It is so that we will understand that Egypt was not simply one place and time. It is any place and time in which people are not free. And because it is any place and time, it is every place and time. - Words of Rabbi Lev Taylor (2023) 🔗 Read our statement here: https://lnkd.in/eDbY73fY #humantrafficking #stopchildtrafficking #worlddayagainsttrafficking

Thousands of Palestinian children lost one or more limbs, left with permanent disabilities and trauma scars for life, as a result of occupation’s indiscriminate bombardment in the past 6 months. Since the occupation genocide began: - 15370 Palestinian children are killed according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor - 25,000 Palestinian children are unaccompanied or separated - Every day, 10 children lose their legs according to UNICEF - ⁠Dozens of Palestinian children have died due to malnutirion & dehydration. - More than 440 schools are completely destroyed or damaged, among them several UNRWA schools. - ⁠Every child in Gaza needs mental health and psyhcological support. - Every child has been deprived from Educaiton.

❗️❗️❗️The Impact of the war on #Palestinian Children Recent reports indicate that the ongoing war in #Gaza has had severe consequences for #children in the region. According to #Oxfam, more children in Gaza have died in the past year than in any other similar period over the last two decades, with conservative estimates suggesting that over 11,000 children have been killed. Key findings related to the situation of Palestinian children include: 1. The United Nations reports that at least 19,000 children in Gaza are unaccompanied, potentially due to being orphaned or separated from their parents. The #UN has raised concerns about significant violations of children's rights under international treaties. 2. More than 85% of #schools in Gaza have been destroyed, leaving approximately 625,000 school-age children without access to education for a second consecutive year. 3. UN experts have described Israel's actions as a 'targeted starvation campaign,' with over 18,000 confirmed cases of #malnutrition among children under five, according to data from the State of Palestine as of September 10. 4. Polio has re-emerged in Gaza for the first time in 25 years, with reports of a child partially paralyzed after contracting the virus. Health experts attribute this resurgence to the destruction of health and sanitation infrastructure. 5. #UNICEF has indicated that half of the 1.9 million Palestinians displaced by the conflict are children, many of whom lack access to essential resources such as water, food, medicine, and education. The international community is urged to address these pressing issues and advocate for the protection and rights of vulnerable children affected by the conflict. Immediate relief and long-term solutions are necessary to safeguard the future of these children. #Gaza #StandWithGaza #EndTheOccupation #HumanRights #PeaceForGaza #SaveGaza #StopTheViolence #VoicesOfGaza #JusticeForGaza #ChildrenOfGaza #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #AmplifyVoices #NoMoreWar #SolidarityWithGaza #RememberGaza #HumanityFirst #GazaUnderAttack #WarCrimes #ProtectHumanRights #ChildProtection #Protection #AccessToJustice #ChildRights Resource 👇 https://lnkd.in/dDvUHgPv

💡 Huge new report on #childrights and #customaryjustice from #Terredeshommes and Griffith University. This report draws on a rigorous multi-year study of 3894 cases in Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Palestinian Territories--one of the biggest quantitative datasets on customary justice anywhere. It dives deep in to the complex ways in which customary and informal justice systems impact the children who participate in them, either as victims or perpetrators. Self-recommending! Big congrats to Yann Colliou, PhD, Marta Gil, and everyone else at the Tdh team, for this major contribution to understanding of customary and informal justice.

reports emerging are gut wrenching and infuriating, as innocent lives, particularly those of women and children, continue to be affected by the ongoing genocide. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people in Palestine, and it is disgusting and inhuman to open my phone and witness such a blatant disregard for human rights. As individuals, we find ourselves in a position of shame and powerlessness, questioning the adequacy of the global response to this crisis. It is essential for us to unite as a global community and unequivocally condemn the actions that lead to the suffering of innocent civilians, especially women and children who are the most vulnerable victims in any conflict. This is a moment that calls for collective action and advocacy. It is our moral duty to stand against injustice and demand accountability for those responsible for the violation of human rights. As individuals, we may feel limited in our ability to effect change, but our collective power is significant. We must leverage our voices on social media, engage in conversations, and support organizations working towards peace and human rights in the region. By fostering awareness and solidarity, we can contribute to the global movement advocating for a peaceful and just resolution to the conflict. The world needs to do more, and together, we can be a force for change that stands against the violation of children’s rights and all forms of injustice. #GazaUnderAttack #FreePalestine #StopTheViolence #IsraelWarCrimes #SaveGazaChildren #CeasefireNow #EndTheOccupation #PalestinianRights #SolidarityWithGaza #HumanitarianCrisis #StandWithPalestine #JusticeForGaza #WarOnGaza #InternationalSupport #giveaidbehuman #ProtectGaza #ChildrenUnderAttack #PeaceInTheMiddleEast #StopIsraeliAggression #educaciondiversa #educaciondiversa #globalsolidarity

A proof that supporting "palestinians" in Israel is not about caring for "palestinians" but about hating Jews. If it was about "palestinians" the world would hate lebanon as. much as they hate Israel... It is so easy to see.... Palestinian life in Lebanon is characterized by a complex set of challenges, including legal restrictions, limited access to basic rights, and a lack of official recognition as citizens. Palestinians in Lebanon are descendants of those who fled or were expelled from Palestine during the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, and subsequent conflicts. One of the fundamental challenges faced by Palestinians in Lebanon is their lack of citizenship, which significantly impacts their socio-economic and political rights. They do not have access to the same rights and privileges as Lebanese citizens, including employment opportunities, public healthcare, and social security benefits. Furthermore, Palestinians' right to work is significantly restricted. They are often confined to work in the informal sector, rendering them vulnerable to exploitation and limiting their chances of socio-economic mobility. Palestinians are also excluded from several professions, such as law, engineering, and medicine. This lack of economic opportunities perpetuates poverty and marginalization within the Palestinian community. Regarding political rights, Palestinians in Lebanon are excluded from the electoral process and are not allowed to vote or run for office. This absence of political representation reinforces their marginalization within Lebanese society, preventing them from participating in decision-making processes that directly affect their lives. In terms of living conditions, Palestinians in Lebanon predominantly reside in refugee camps. These camps, often overcrowded and lacking basic infrastructure, offer inadequate housing, limited access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and healthcare services. The absence of a proper legal framework governing the status of Palestinians in Lebanon further exacerbates their living conditions, as it hinders the ability to improve infrastructure or incorporate the camps into the host society. #timetostandupforisrael follow us on Telegram 👇 t.me/timetostandforisrael
