A major new report by police chiefs has found that a rise in violence against women and girls is linked to "online influences" and harmful content.
In its first national risk assessment - the report said at least 230,000 children and young people in relationships were victims of abuse.
They also found domestic abuse remained the most significant threat and described the scale of violence as a "national emergency".

231 women killed. 53 deaths officially labelled as suicides.
A new investigation by Zan Times documents a devastating pattern of femicide in Afghanistan, where women are being killed in their own homes while perpetrators often escape accountability.

The international legal order must of course also apply to women, regardless of which society they live in. Norway should therefore be as supportive of international law in the case of Afghanistan as in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere.

"Norway’s government has been a leader in promoting international law in many instances, but indeed seems to have a double standard when it comes to the rights of Afghan women." #Afghanistan

“Look, it is true that Gazans did at one point elect Hamas. But if you think that makes them all complicit in war crimes their government commits, then boy, do I have bad news for you about decades of U.S. foreign policy.” - @iamjohnoliver huffpost.com/entry/john-oliv…

"Thousands of children killed cannot be collateral damage.
Pushing a million people from their homes & concentrating them in areas without adequate infrastructure is forced displacement.
Severely limiting food, water & medicine is collective punishment."

Today I am at Torkham, on the Afghan border with Pakistan, where 10s of thousands of Afghans have gathered, having been expelled from Pakistan. >2,000 families have crossed here in the past 24 hours. We’re seeing perhaps the largest forced expulsion in the world since the 1950s.

We call on states to urge for immediate ceasefire. We are witnessing large scale war crimes on civilians in Gaza and on the West Bank. Rafto laureate @DCIPalestine reports more than 1000 Palestinian children killed by Israeli attacks. Those are the ones accounted for so far.
