GOOD NEWS! Women in Poland made history this week by forcing a U-turn on a proposed abortion ban.
Women in Poland made history today. This is a huge victory for the millions of women and girls who mobilized, showed their fury, and successfully blocked a law which would have taken away their rights and endangered their health.”

"Invasive and discriminatory measures such as these restrict women’s choices, violate their rights and lead to abuse." http://amn.st/6266BNqhC
Failure to overturn the ban on the burkini would be a missed opportunity to end an assault on women’s freedoms of expression and religion as well as the right to non-discrimination, said Amnesty International as France’s highest administrative court considers a challenge to the ban.

Four years after the strike that claimed 44 lives, little has improved: http://amn.st/6269BFIvZ #RememberMarikana #LonminBrokenPromises
Tell Lonmin to fulfil its legal obligations and to ensure that living conditions for mine workers and their families are improved.

Commission of inquiry to investigate commission of inquiry to investigate commission of inquiry, it gets really old at some point, it really does. And it's funny how an oxymoronic mind set of conscious somnambulism is continually perpetuated by governments who like to think themselves fully awake and alive to the needs of their citizenry. And who's surprised really when a foreign owned mine sees fit to treat its workers like cattle whose only need is to be put out to pasture, especially when a so called post-independence African government sees fit to mow down 34 of its own citizens whose only crime is to protest the dastardly conditions under which they work, and such woeful conditions being a state of being that was clearly being perpetuated with the neglectful connivance of these mine workers' own African government? Now it's possible that a clearly apparent geodesic line of logic may not be immediately obvious to the somnambulistic, but foreign owned companies do tend to treat their employees just as poorly as the host government allows them to. Goes to show doesn't it, never wake the somnolent much less the wilfully obtuse.

We spoke to a doctor in Aleppo who said that "of the 60 injured in the latest attack, 40 were children."

Thousands of men, women and children are staying in filthy and unsafe old warehouses, tents, or simply sleeping rough in Greece right now. Tell the Greek government to END these inhumane conditions now! http://amn.st/6263B0E53

It is our collective RESPONSIBILITY to FIGHT against INJUSTICE.

Your actions could help bring forceful arrest to justice. Change laws to stop violence against activists. Or release people who have been jailed just for speaking out. So take action today, and help protect people’s human rights across the world.

SIGN THE PETITION:

Thank You.

Salwa is stuck in Softex camp with three of her children and her husband, who cannot walk because of a slipped disc. She is scared of the fights that take place daily. Europe must share the responsibility for offering protection to these refugees but right now, Greece must urgently address the inhumane conditions for refugees it is hosting: http://amn.st/6260B2LHi #MessagesFromGreece

"It’s not an easy time for activists but we need to remind ourselves when we feel down or defeated that many people around the world commit to making change and progress in society. It’s not the time for us to give up"
Two years after Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement protests, the spectre of jail time hangs low over Hong Kong’s most prominent student activist. Joshua Wong, now a politics and public administration undergrad at a local university, first rose to international prominence when he became the youthful face of the student-led pro-democracy protests at 17. In July, Joshua, with two fellow student leaders, was found guilty by a Hong Kong court of “taking ...
