Why is it important to include women in #peace and #security efforts? How can young women from the MENA region and North Africa contribute to peacebuilding in their communities? How does illegal arms trafficking impact the safety and stability of communities in the MENA region? What role can advocacy play in combating the illegal transfer of small arms? More and more we will answer during in our workshop This workshop is organized by the International Humanitarian Law and Youth Initiative in collaboration with The International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) and is supported by UNSCAR. Our objectives align with those of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) and IANSA, focusing on empowering young women from across the MENA region. We aim to build their capacities in monitoring, documentation, and advocacy related to the implementation of the Programme of Action on Small Arms (PoA). Ma'in Alshamayleh Elli Kytomaki

Ethiopia's human rights situation has significantly worsened since 2019. The government, militias, and armed groups have committed widespread abuses with impunity, violating human rights and humanitarian law. The lack of transparency and independent oversight in addressing past and ongoing atrocities has only exacerbated the problem. Journalists, civil society organizations, and public figures have faced a hostile environment, with arbitrary arrests and prolonged detention without charge. https://lnkd.in/ecuwC_m7

⚖️ On World Day for International Justice, Terre des hommes stresses the need to strengthen efforts to achieve child-centered justice and accountability for children affected by armed conflict. As recently highlighted by UN Children and armed conflict, unprecedent figures have been recorded of children directly and indirectly targeted, including in places like Gaza, Myanmar, and Ukraine, among others.  ‘Child-centered accountability is needed more than ever. Fostering accountability of violations, abuses, and crimes against or affecting children contributes to ending impunity, reinforces the rule of law, contributes to effective prevention, and maximises the prospects of long-term peace, social cohesion and development. Collective action is urgent and should be prioritised’, says our colleague Marta Gil, Deputy Head of the Tdh Program Access to Justice.  The next World Congress on Justice with Children in 2025 will prioritise the theme ‘Justice in times of crisis’ where child-centered accountability would be at the forefront.
