Global Witness, UN Women, and UN experts show these harms protect extractive models.
🌿Protecting defenders strengthens autonomy and ecological sustainability.

🌍 Caring for lands and waters sustains collective rights and community wellbeing.
🌱 Indigenous women who defend them face intimidation and criminalization worldwide.
⚠️ This shows up as arrests, fabricated charges, surveillance, travel bans, and endless legal harassment.

#Philippines: Receiving disturbing news on repeated delays in the case against #WHRD Jazmin “Minet” Jerusalem, Director of the Leyte Centre for Development. I'm concerned the entire case against her has been initiated in retaliation for her legitimate human rights work and urge the State to drop it.

Poster with a purple-to-pink gradient header. At the top, the date “November 29.” Below, an illustrated woman with short dark hair holds a megaphone in one hand and a globe in the other. She appears to be speaking assertively. Under the illustration, text reads: “International Day of Women Human Rights Defenders.”

Gradient background in purple and pink. Centered bold text reads: “Let’s defend those who defend us!” A thin white border surrounds the design.
Multilingual call-to-action poster on a purple-to-pink gradient background. Text at the top says “Join the campaign” in Russian, Portuguese, English, French, Arabic, and Spanish. Below, large text reads “365TOENDGBV.” At the bottom are icons for Instagram, TikTok, and a black butterfly silhouette, alongside the logo “CUNY SPH Sexual & Reproductive Justice Hub.”
Women who defend rights face a double risk: targeted for their activism and for their gender. In Mexico & Central America, 1,698 attacks on women environmental defenders were recorded 2016–2019.
The courage is daily; protection should be too.

![Illustration of a pair of canvas shoes with flowers blooming out of it. Text: On one of the days of continuous protests in a suburban area of Yangon[...] two military trucks entered recklessly while I was singing the protest song and leading the chants.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ykq7w7msn25bkslql7zqbfrv/bafkreiattxe7cb7n4d43glome4bys225qfyix27ahj2oi4xib6wa47nlaq)
Illustration of a pair of canvas shoes with flowers blooming out of it. Text: On one of the days of continuous protests in a suburban area of Yangon[...] two military trucks entered recklessly while I was singing the protest song and leading the chants.
Illustration of flowers. Text: I had never gotten hit by this kind of fear before. I asked myself, “What am I afraid of?” I was scared of getting caught by the soldiers for sure. At the same time, I felt anger.
Illustration of flowers. Text: bell hooks said: Fear is the primary force upholding structures of domination. It promotes the desire for separation, the desire not to be known. When we choose to love we choose to move against fear – against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect – to find ourselves in the other.
Illustration of flowers. Text: When someone asks me now what my biggest fear is, I answer “losing freedom” as an individual and as a collective group of people. I believe the first stage of freedom from fear is to notice and accept its existence. From there, we can find ways to overcome and be healed from its wounds. (in small text) This post has been adapted from an anthology by Women Human Rights Defenders by Safety For Voices.
Ma Bee is a #WHRD from #Myanmar, a feminist researcher and founder/editor of Myit Ye See Than Magazine.
Read about the transformative potential of fear as a reflective tool — for ourselves and our communities.

On November 27, 2013, the UN General Assembly adopted its first-ever resolution on women human rights defenders. This was a significant achievement for WHRDIC and #WHRD groups worldwide. The historic document recognizes the threats, discrimination, and violence faced by WHRDs.

Thai woman human rights defender Angkhana Neelapaijit speaks into a microphone during a public event. She wears a black headscarf and patterned red blouse, standing in front of a screen. The audience is partially visible in the foreground.
Deeply concerned by reports of death threats & online attacks against Angkhana Neelapaijit, Senator, former NHRC Commissioner & woman human rights defender in #Thailand. Defending truth, justice & dignity is not a crime. She must be protected, not vilified.

👩🏾💻 Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) are especially targeted:
➡️ Gender-based attacks
➡️ Online abuse
➡️ Criminalization of their work
They are on the frontlines for justice, peace, and equality.

Great article that weaves different stories together from activists from different continents, shows what stigma, discrimination and violence do, and shares beautiful examples of artivism (using art in activism) as a crucial strategy.

I'll be closely following the expected conclusion of the trial of #WHRD & migrants' rights defender Ieva Raubiško in #Latvia on Wednesday. Again expressing my hope for a positive decision that upholds the right to defend human rights.
