Attacks on repro & LGBTQI+ rights aren’t happening in isolation — they’re increasingly coordinated. At #CSW70, advocates gathered at the Mission of Mexico to the UN to share lessons from these struggles & why we must reject attempts to silo them. The fight for bodily autonomy includes all of us.
After a packed week of #CSW events, we want to highlight our recent workshop on civil society and advancing gender justice in the Crimes Against Humanity treaty.

(5/5) This is a deeply regressive, misogynistic, and grave violation of human rights. It is also an unlawful attack on national sovereignty, promoting fear, division, and control over the health and well-being of individuals and communities.
(4/5) Whole healthcare systems and swaths of civil society are now compelled to deny the existence of and/or discriminate against the most marginalized or to halt their research, advocacy, and services.
