Who will protect Iranian women?

For decades, women living in Iran have been the targets of abuse, silenced, and had their rights taken through the enforcement of strict laws. But since the death of Mahsa Jina Amini, things have gotten even worse. Protestors have been tortured and executed, children r***d, protest quashed, and more.
We cannot sit idly by as these atrocities continue in Iran. The international community must address Iranian officials’ impunity and show solidarity with the protestors who are risking their lives to protest and defend their rights.

Zelensky asks for Patriot missile production in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has requested production licenses from the United States to manufacture Patriot air defense missiles domestically. Following massive Russian aerial strikes on Kyiv, Zelensky emphasized the need to expand manufacturing capabilities to protect civilians, citing the current global supply as insufficient.
Key details of the request:
Domestic Manufacturing: Zelenskyy has publicly stated that Ukraine already has the technical capabilities and specialists required to build these interceptors, but they critically require U.S. licenses to proceed.
The Urgency:
The appeal was heavily renewed following devastating overnight Russian barrages across Kyiv that killed dozens of people, highlighting the critical shortage of anti-ballistic systems in the region.

Lack of Heavy Excavating Machinery

Venezuela's severe lack of heavy excavating machinery stems from a prolonged economic collapse, widespread government mismanagement, and crippling fuel shortages. Decades of underinvestment and corruption have hollowed out public infrastructure. Even when machinery is present, it often sits idle because operators do not have the diesel or gasoline required to run them.
Venezuelans scour collapsed buildings by hand while government machinery stands unused
Nearly a week after two massive earthquakes devastated the coastal city of La Guaira, survivors are digging through rubble by hand as fuel shortages leave heavy machinery idle.

Maria Corina Machado
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has faced significant barriers attempting to re-enter Venezuela. After leaving the country in December to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, she was blocked by a travel ban and the lack of a valid passport. Her most recent return attempt via Curaçao was called off due to a lack of support from U.S. officials, who were concerned that her arrival could trigger a confrontation and disrupt recovery efforts following a devastating twin earthquake in the country. Maria Corina needs to be in Venezuela now!!

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW): Partnered with RAC to provide critical funding for emergency animal food, clean water, and medical supplies.
International Search and Rescue Dogs: Alongside human responders, over 140 specially trained search-and-rescue dogs from 21 countries (coordinated by the UN) are deployed in Venezuela to locate survivors trapped under the rubble. This includes teams like K9 Search and Rescue NI and urban search-and-rescue units from the Mexican Army.Harmony Fund: Sent emergency grants to provide free veterinary care and food for animals injured in the disaster.
