Femena calls on Egyptian authorities to immediately & unconditionally dismiss charges against #WHRDs peacefully gathered outside UN Women.  We call on @UN_Women to fully investigate use of violence against peaceful rights defenders by its security forces. femena.net/2024/04/26/egy…

It’s not every day that we get to meet w/ the INGO partners of the @wphfund 🪟 for #WHRDs – @FrontLineHRD, @MADREspeaks, @WILPF, @DefendDefenders, @AEDHmonde & EMHRF – to discuss the challenges facing WHRDs & how to better address their protection needs. Thanks 4 the great 💬!

We join the call for the immediate release of #WHRDs arrested in Cairo for demonstrating in support of #Gaza & #Sudan outside the offices of @UN_Women after reportedly being attacked by UNW security forces! The @UN must press for their immediate release & initiate investigation.
