Please read this 🧵: the erasure of latinx and indigenous voices in history is dangerous and props up the white male patriarchy and the military industrial complex. We need to hear these stories & understand the harms these individuals & communities suffered!

Truly groundbreaking - this is the first time in over 75 years of existence of both the #ICJ & the #ILC where they are both chaired by #women 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #Internationallaw #ILC_2023 #womenininternationallaw

This is a must read 👇

Geneva Call works with AGDAs to address and prevent #SGBV in armed conflict. We do so with a cross-cutting approach as SGBV issues are often interconnected with other topics we work on such as the protection of healthcare, of #children & #education, and food insecurity.
