Exposing the Misogyny in the Handling of the Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against the ICC Prosecutor | Women's Initiative for Gender Justice March 30, 2026—Developments over the past week in the handling of the allegations of sexual misconduct and retaliation against the International Criminal

Recent handling of allegations against the ICC Prosecutor raises concerns about gender competency and institutional integrity.

Our latest analysis with @fidh-official.bsky.social and @globaljusticec.bsky.social examines how misogyny and harmful myths about sexual violence shape responses.

Following an indiscriminate Israeli airstrike on a residential neighborhood in Beirut yesterday, five people were killed and at least 52 people were wounded. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/lebanon-israeli-s...

Eulogy for My Friend and Freedom Fighter, Yanar Mohammed ​Yanar knew that wherever there is terrible violence, there are people behaving magnificently. She was one of them.

This is the legacy Yanar leaves us to enact—to fight for each other and spend time together in the flowering gardens we’ve planted, writes Yifat Susskind of @madrespeaks.bsky.social.

We strongly condemn airstrikes allegedly carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces on March 31 in South Darfur, near the Teaching Hospital and within a densely populated civilian area.

Following at least two strikes, the MSF-supported hospital received 5 wounded patients and the body of one person.

Today, we released a report providing the most comprehensive documented accounts of sexual violence in Sudan’s war. It includes survivor testimonies and data from MSF medical programs highlighting clear patterns of widespread and systematic abuse. Read the report here: bit.ly/4s5Nuza

Die Grafik zeigt Meron Mendel, Direktor der Bildungsstätte mit folgendem Zitat: Projekte gegen Antisemitismus vor dem Aus: „Das ist Politik mit der Kettensäge – zum denkbar schlechten Zeitpunkt: Während die AfD Rekordergebnisse für ihre menschenfeindliche Politik einfährt und wir einen Anstieg des Antisemitismus erleben, will die Bundesfamilienministerin die mühsam errichteten Abwehrdämme gegen Antisemitismus & Rassismus einreißen.“

Die Pläne von Bundesfamilienministerin Karin Prien (CDU) für das Programm „Demokratie leben!“ gefährden wirksame Bildungsarbeit gegen Antisemitismus und die Entwicklung innovativer Bildungsansätze zur Extremismusprävention im digitalen Raum.

Why international law is still the world’s best defence Should we permit the foundations of international law to erode, the world would slip once more into anarchy and chaos.

"Perhaps the greatest threat to international justice is not just outright opposition from ill-wishers but indifference and arbitrary application." OpEd by Fatou Bensouda, former #ICC Prosecutor and Sam Sasan Shoamanesh, former Chef de Cabinet www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Globale Knebelregel: Wie die USA Frau­en*­rech­te weltweit beschneiden Heute tritt die „Global Gag Rule“ in Kraft. Sie verbietet Förderung von Organisationen, die sich für Diversität, Queere- und Frauenrechte einsetzen.

In Krisenkontexten zählt jede Minute, diese, bisher extremste Version, der #GlobalGagRule wird die Sicherheit und Gesundheit von marginalisierten Gruppen, darunter auch Überlebende sexualisierter Gewalt, weiter verschlechtern. taz.de/Globale-Kneb...

We stand with colleagues and partners today in strongly condemning the assassination of feminist advocate Yanar Mohammed.

South Sudan’s government blocks humanitarian access in opposition-held areas Access restrictions are limiting MSF’s ability to deliver essential medical assistance, with potentially dangerous consequences for children, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions.

We denounce the restrictions on humanitarian access that the government of South Sudan has imposed exclusively in parts of the opposition-held areas of Jonglei state. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/south-sudans-gove...

Report: Sexual and gender-based violence in Port-au-Prince | MSF MSF's latest report provides details on the increasing number of women and girls we have been seeing for sexual and gender-based violence care in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

MSF condemns sweeping expansion of the Global Gag Rule The US Government’s new Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance policy entrenches discrimination against the world’s most vulnerable.

MSF is deeply concerned that the expansion of the Global Gag Rule will cause serious harm to communities in crisis & cut off the most marginalized people from essential & lifesaving health care. Read our concerns about the new US Government policy here: www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/msf-c...

"For decades, the #GlobalGagRule has had massive chilling effects on lawful, evidence-based health services. This new policy is even more pervasive, impacting more funding streams, more partners, & more health programs than ever before." - #MSF's Rachel Milkovic on #GGR bsky.app/profile/doct...

In Post-Roe America, Abortion Care Is Being Reborn From the Ground Up A British doctor finds fear and legal chaos being transformed into a new, decentralized model of reproductive freedom

"Self-managed #abortion, when done with proper information, is well supported by the #WHO. The danger arises when people lack guidance — or fear seeking help." Highly recommended read by Dr. Sabrina Das on a new, decentralized model of #ReproductiveFreedom in the U.S. newlinesmag.com/reportage/in...

Claire San Filippo, our Head of Emergency Operations in #Gaza, speaks with CGTN America about Israel’s deregistration of NGOs and a defamation campaign targeting MSF.

"The scale and normalization of sexual violence reflect a profound collapse of community protection and a near-total absence of accountability. Women and girls tell us that sexual violence is not simply feared – it is expected." @msf.org's @intlpresident.msf.org at #UNSC briefing on #DRC

In 2024, world #MilitaryExpenditure reached US$2.7 trillion, coinciding with faltering progress on the UN’s #SDGs.

In this paper, Nan Tian and Xiao Liang make a case for rebalancing resources away from military expenditure and towards the SDGs.
