The @OIC_OCI took the important step to discuss this issue in December. And at #HRC40 yesterday, we heard Turkey reiterating concerns expressed by #UNCERD and many of the @UN_SPExperts.
But for us, @hrw @amnesty and @UyghurCongress, words aren't enough. The HRC must act. twitter.com/UyghurCongress…

Because their activism often challenges deep-rooted socio-cultural norms,traditions, perceptions & stereotypes about gender roles & sexuality, WHRDs may even face gender-based attacks from their own families, communities and the human rights movement itself #HandsOffWHRDs #HRC40 pic.twitter.com/yqmSVbLGU4

For the critical role they play defending human rights, WHRDs face attacks from many perpetrators including State and non-State actors, law enforcement, security forces, armed militias, faith-based groups, fundamentalist & extremist forces, & corporations. #HandsOffWHRDs #HRC40 pic.twitter.com/hIvXIf3bfG

WHRDs are women and gender non-conforming people working in diverse social and gender justice movements.
→ They defend their own rights and those of their communities
→ They challenge inequality and discrimination
→ They offer substantive alternatives

In March 2014, #JiangTianyong and three other lawyers, including #TangJitian, were subject to detention and torture by local police in Jiansanjiang, northern #China, as they tried to investigate reports of a ‘black jail’ holding Falungong practitioners.
