Today is ’sDay—a day to celebrate love in all its forms. Yet, in many parts of the world, the freedom to love whomever you choose is still a privilege.

⚠️ In over 60 countries, homosexuality is criminalized. And in at least 11 countries, being + can cost you your life due to laws that impose the death penalty for same-sex acts. But the violence doesn’t stop there. Many LGBTQIA+ people worldwide are subjected to discrimination, conversion therapy, physical attacks, and systemic persecution.

🇺🇬 Uganda: A recently passed law in Uganda punishes “aggravated homosexuality” with life imprisonment or the death penalty. This is one of the most oppressive laws targeting LGBTQIA+ individuals in the world today.

🇷🇺 Russia: The Russian government has expanded its “gay propaganda” law, banning any positive discussion of LGBTQIA+ identities or relationships. Many live in fear and silence as even public expressions of their identity are criminalized.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: Homosexuality is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia. Arbitrary arrests, torture, and constant surveillance are daily realities for the LGBTQIA+ community.

🇮🇷 Iran: In Iran, same-sex acts are punishable by death. The state’s persecution of LGBTQIA+ individuals is brutal and systematic, with constant monitoring of private lives.

🇦🇫 Afghanistan: Since the Taliban’s return to power, Afghanistan has become one of the most dangerous places in the world for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Even suspicion of same-sex acts can result in ex*****on.
Love is a fundamental human right, and protecting LGBTQIA+ rights means defending the freedom of all people.

stands with those who are still fighting for the right to live openly and freely. Together, we can build a fairer, more inclusive world for everyone. 🏳️‍🌈 🌈

Oggi è la Giornata Internazionale della Mano Rossa .

Ogni anno, migliaia di bambin* sono costrett* a entrare nel mondo della guerra. Molti muoiono in condizioni disumane, e chi riesce a sopravvivere resta segnato per sempre, con disabilità o traumi. Questo non riguarda solo i bambini perché 1/5 sono bambine.
È un problema globale: l’uso di bambine e bambini nei conflitti armati è una realtà drammatica in paesi come Afghanistan, India, Colombia e molti altri, dall’Africa al Medio Oriente fino all’Asia.

Il 12 febbraio 2002 è stato introdotto il Protocollo Opzionale della Convenzione ONU sui Diritti dell’Infanzia per la protezione dei bambini nei conflitti armati. Questo protocollo ha vietato il reclutamento e l’uso di bambini e adolescenti sotto i 18 anni nei conflitti armati ed è stato adottato da oltre 170 paesi, portando alla nascita della Giornata della Mano Rossa.

Ma c’è ancora molto da fare:
✋ Garantire che nessun bambin* sotto i 18 anni venga usato o addestrato in eserciti, gruppi armati o altre unità militari
✋ Punire i responsabili
✋ Offrire cure, protezione e asilo politico a bambin* soldat*
✋ Espandere il supporto finanziario ai programmi di assistenza per bambini e bambine soldat*
✋ Fermare le esportazioni di armi
✋ Promuovere l’educazione alla pace

e climatica: pubblicata la nuova edizione del report sulle migrazioni ambientali

I stanno cambiando il mondo, spingendo migliaia di persone a lasciare le proprie case. Il report “Migrazioni ambientali e crisi climatica” curato da A Sud, in collaborazione con Systasis, ASGI, .onlus, HRIC e altri partner, getta luce su queste realtà, analizzando dati e testimonianze.

📊 Cosa emerge?
➡️ Il 69% delle persone intervistate identifica il peggioramento delle condizioni climatiche come una concausa dello spostamento, spesso intrecciata a motivi economici o di studio.
➡️ La crisi climatica è un acceleratore che si somma a guerre, povertà e disastri ambientali, rendendo sempre più difficile distinguere tra “profughi economici”, “di guerra” o “ambientali”.
➡️ La metà delle persone che emigrano sono donne.
