다른 국가처럼 조선민주주의인민공화국 내 구금된 여성이 겪는 일은 남성과 다를 수 밖에 없습니다. 구금된 여성은 적법 절차, 공정한 재판, 성별에 따른 필요를 반영한 인간적인 생활 환경을 보장 받아야 합니다. 더 자세한 내용은 보고서를 참고해주세요. bit.ly/3ZvNCtJ #UDHR75 #IWD23

Overdose crisis, unnecessary deaths & disproportionate arrests, make clear that punitive drug policies are hindering - not helping - people access the care they need. As we mark 75yrs of #UDHR, I urge govts to reform laws & policies to protect people's dignity, health & safety.

#NorthKoreanVoices: “조선민주주의인민공화국은 여성이 똑같이 대우 받는다고 말하지만, 이런 말과는 상반되는 구조적인 문제가 있다. 가령 여맹이란 것이 있지만 성평등을 도모한다기 보다는 주민을 통제하려는 목적으로 작동한다.” 조선민주주의인민공화국 이탈자 #DPRK #UDHR75

#NorthKoreanVoices: “North Korea has said that women are treated equally. However, there are structural issues that go against that argument. Although there are women’s unions, those are used 2 control citizens rather than 2 promote gender equality." An escapee from #DPRK #UDHR75

Too many people today can't afford basic needs, get social care or escape poverty because of inequalities.
It's unjust, erodes public trust, holds back economies & is entirely preventable.
We must invest in inclusive & sustainable work for all to change course #SocialJusticeDay

Today's energy crisis makes it painfully clear. Dependency on #fossilfuels is catastrophic - for lives, economies & the planet.
We must act against industries who profit from & perpetuate climate inaction. Govts, I urge you to speed up a just transition to clean energy, now.

한국전쟁 전쟁포로였던 한재복님의 작고 소식에 애도의 마음을 전합니다. 2001년 탈북하여 대한민국으로 돌아오신 후, 정의 실현과 전쟁 포로 인권에 대한 인식을 고취시키고자 노력해오신 점 잊지 않겠습니다. 유가족 분들께 다시 한 번 진심으로 애도의 마음을 전합니다.

As a step towards realising the #UDHR, I call on govts to establish care & support systems that protect #humanrights, dignity & choice of those providing & receiving care. For too long, we’ve relied on women’s & girls’ unpaid care work & ignored the voices of those receiving it.

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk urges govts to establish rights-based care & support systems, that are gender, disability & age responsive. Recognizing, reducing & redistributing informal care work combats inequality & advances sustainable development: ow.ly/T8Ji50MM6jX

. made it loud & clear at today's #UNGA - human rights are key to reversing today's climate, economic & humanitarian crises that are inching us closer to doomsday. Together, we must push govts & business leaders to #StandUp4HumanRights for 🌍 peace & prosperity.
Quote Tweet
Near-term thinking is making the problems we face today more intractable, divisive & dangerous.
My message to politicians and decisionmakers:
Don’t focus solely on what may happen to you today – and dither.
Look at what will happen to all of us tomorrow – and act.
