Published on February 12, 2024Last year, our work continued to highlight how sexual rights are profoundly impacted by the interrelated global crises brought on by capitalism through rampant neoliberalism, unchecked extractivism and climate degradation, violent populism and nationalism, soaring inequality within and between states, and entrenched patriarchal, racist, classist and ableist systems of oppression. Read below for our highlights of 2023.

A continuación podrán leer lo más destacado de 2023 en el trabajo de la SRI.

Published on February 12, 2024Cette année, nos travaux ont continué à signaler comment et à quel point les droits sexuels sont affectés par des crises mondiales interdépendantes, provoquées par le capitalisme, par le biais du néolibéralisme croissant, de l’extractivisme incontrôlé et de la dégradation du climat, du populisme et du nationalisme violents, de l’inégalité galopante au sein des États et entre eux, et des systèmes d’oppression patriarcaux, racistes, classistes et capacitistes bien ancrés. Ci-dessous, les moments forts de notre année 2023.

Published on March 08, 2024Our response to these coordinated attacks must be focused on building solidarity across movements and issues, and on strengthening transnational ties that enable us to amplify and elevate each other’s priorities and demands. This is why today we echo the global feminist call for the March 8th strike and stand in solidarity with Palestinian feminists and women in Gaza who are facing human rights violations of an unprecedented scale yet who are still building solidarity and paving the way for collective liberation.

Published on March 08, 2024President, this panel comes at a critical juncture for the premier multilateral body responsible for promoting and protecting human rights. UNDP has documented that “twenty-five developing economies, the highest number since 2000, spent over 20 percent of their government revenues in 2022 on total external debt servicing.”

Published on March 11, 2024While we appreciate the focus on gendered aspects of care economies, we reiterate that the rights of persons with disabilities to be re-centered in this area, in line with the UN CRPD article 23 as persons with disabilities, in all diversity, are parents, caregivers, and rights holders.
-
Published on March 11, 2024As noted in the report, military spending by Global North states reflects their priorities and disregard for basic human rights - and we remind states in the Global North that their military aid and arms exports currently contribute to the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza, in violation of the current ICJ provisional measures order.
-
Published on March 11, 2024El informe señala que el gasto militar de los Estados del norte global refleja sus prioridades y su desdén por los derechos humanos básicos. Recordamos a esos Estados que su asistencia militar y exportaciones de armas están colaborando con el genocidio del pueblo palestino en Gaza, violando las medidas provisorias ordenadas por la Corte Internacional de Justicia.

Published on March 11, 2024In many instances, social protection benefits are not accessed by persons with disabilities due to family’s own perception of their legal incapacity. We need to understand what are the additional support elements which need to be available for accessing services ensuring the inclusion of persons with disabilities.
-
Published on March 14, 2024We cannot continue talking about the universality of human rights and social protection while selectively restricting access to protection for specific groups of children. In order for social protection for children to be universal and comply with children’s rights, we must hold States accountable for their obligations not only within their borders but also globally.
-
Published on March 15, 2024Remote participation is crucial, due to the obstacles faced in accessing multilateral spaces, including discriminatory visa and resource requirements, environmental and security concerns and accessibility.
-
Published on March 22, 2024We urge States, especially Global North States, to implement Special Procedures’ recommendations and call for a permanent ceasefire, and immediately stop their support for Israel’s genocide. This Council must concern itself with human rights violations and do away with double standards.

Published on March 22, 2024Las trabajadoras sexuales ejercemos nuestro derecho a la autonomía corporal y al trabajo. Sin embargo, enfrentamos cotidianamente la vulneración de derechos, esto compromete nuestra integridad, nuestra libertad y en muchos casos nuestras vidas.

Published on March 25, 2024The functional denial of sexual and reproductive rights is connected to the denial of other rights, including the rights to health, non-discrimination, education, and freedom from violence. We are disappointed Canada did not fully accept several recommendations in support of broader health equity, particularly on access to services for undocumented people.
-
Published on March 25, 2024The implementation of these recommendations is especially urgent given the shortcomings of the Government’s engagement with civil society in this fourth UPR and its overall lack of accountability on international human rights compliance. These shortcomings include a lack of federal leadership, limited information accessibility, unequal opportunities for civil society participation, and no clear process for monitoring and follow up of recommendations.
-
Published on March 27, 2024We regret that Azerbaijan noted all the recommendations pertaining to the signing and ratification of the Istanbul Convention. Violence against women is widespread in Azerbaijan and domestic violence is normalised, as violence against women is framed as a "family matter".

Published on April 10, 2024The 55th session of the UN Human Rights Council took place from 26 February to 5 April 2024. Due to the ongoing liquidity crisis experienced by the Council, civil society organisations were asked to pay for the use of hybrid modalities for their side events through the WebEX platform for the first time in the Council's history. This puts an additional and significant burden on organisations that have very limited budgets to engage with the HRC, which is deeply concerning.

Published on April 10, 2024La sesión 55° del Consejo de Derechos Humanos de la ONU transcurrió entre el 26 de febrero y el 5 de abril de 2024. Debido a la crisis de liquidez que vive el Consejo y por primera vez en la historia de este organismo, a las organizaciones de sociedad civil se les pidió que pagaran para poder utilizar las modalidades híbridas de la plataforma WebEX en sus eventos paralelos. Esto supuso una carga adicional y significativa para organizaciones cuyos presupuestos para participar en el CDH son muy limitados, lo que resulta sumamente preocupante.
