Menneskerettighetsforsvarere og organisasjonene deres gjør viktig arbeid for at rotårsakene til krig og konflikt adresseres. Å støtte deres arbeid nå er viktigere enn noensinne.
Økt støtte til demokrati og menneskerettigheter kan ikke vente. Les mer: panoramanyheter.no/demokrati…
Regjeringen vil bruke 50 bistandsmillioner på studieavgifter i Norge, etter at de innførte avgift for studenter utenfor EØS og Sveits. SAIH mener dette er dårlig utdanningspolitikk, og definitivt ineffektiv bistandspolitikk.

I urolige tider er utdanning avgjørende for stabilitet og utvikling. Samtidig foreslår regjeringen å kutte ytterligere 150 millioner kroner til utdanningsbistand. Dette mener vi er et svik. Les mer på saih.no #statsbudsjettet
Dear universities,
Stop repressing pro-Palestine solidarity movements and respect peaceful activism! 🇵🇸💪

I snart et år har vi vært vitne til en målrettet og systematisk utslettelse av utdanningssektoren i Gaza.
Norske universiteter og høyskoler: Plasser oss på riktig side av historien!

Our new Activism under Attack-report is out! 💪
The report explores the repression of student activism, the ways in which authority figures violate the rights of student activists, and sheds light on what kind of support is needed.

Today SAR’s @AmyKapit from the Advocacy Team joined Camilla Croso of @CafaClaa and Selma Bratberg of @saih for a meeting with Norwegian officials on #academicfreedom!
Denne uken feirer vi at Students at Risk-programmet er 10 år!
Ordningen gir forfulgte studentaktivister mulighet til å fullføre sin utdanning i Norge og så langt har 146 aktivister fått beskyttelse.
Nå er det behov for å styrke ordningen videre! 💪

Global university initiative for refugees kicks off!
So happy to announce that several universities, led by the University of Oslo (UiO), are launching a global coalition to strengthen education for refugees. Read more on saih.no 📚
Honored to host Maya Wind this week!
Through her book, she reveals how Israeli universities maintain the occupation of Palestine and the urgent need for an academic boycott of Israel. We want academic freedom for all and it cannot exist under apartheid, occupation and genocide.

Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 | While bail is a constitutional right, the struggle to secure it points to the harsh reality faced by Zimbabwean human rights defenders.
As we celebrate the granting of bail for @namataik_, @cdegwenzi, and @robohchere, we remain resolute in demanding justice for the time lost, trauma endured, and disruptions caused by their wrongful imprisonment, affecting them, their families, and their vital work.

As the new school year begins, Palestinian students in Gaza cannot access education due to Israel’s systemic attacks on the education system.
Education is a vital pillar of resilience, resistance, & hope for Palestinians.

Young human rights defenders are powerful agents of change, yet their voices are too often stifled or discarded.
My last UN report focused on their vital work, the challenges they face & the support they need: bit.ly/4a56iG8
#InternationalYouthDay #YouthForRights
ALT Quote by UN Special Rapporteur Mary Lawlor: “Despite instigating and leading human rights movements, young human rights defenders told me how they don't receive adequate support from traditional human rights allies; aren't taken seriously by other members of civil society, nor by older generations & society at large; and aren't meaningfully consulted in matters that impact them.” Full report available on srdefenders.org
The young people of #Bangladesh have shown the world that even in the face of repression, activism and the fight for democracy will continue 💪
