In refugee camps, children often draw bombs instead of butterflies. On World Mental Health Day, we remember that mental health is not a luxury. It’s a right that every person deserves. #WorldMentalHealthDay #HealthForAll #EndStigma #HumanRights #WellbeingMatters

Malala was only 15 when she was shot for going to school. She survived and chose peace, not hate. On the International Day of Non-Violence, her story reminds us that courage through peace can change the world.

RIP Dame Jane Goodall - a true hero for our planet. 🌿🙏

Her work with chimpanzees reshaped how we see animals, nature, and ourselves. For over 65 years she embodied compassion, courage, and hope.

Thank you, Jane - the world is poorer for your absence but richer for all you gave. 💚

Since July, Egyptian authorities have arrested or prosecuted at least 29 people for what they posted online, including 19 women and a child. This crackdown on digital creators is a clear attack on free expression and human rights.

In Sept 2025, Nepal’s Gen Z filled the streets after a sudden social-media ban.
They turned anger into a fight against corruption and joblessness.
Police killed nearly 20, but youth kept marching until leaders quit.

Russia plans to leave the Council of Europe’s treaty that prevents torture. Torture is never acceptable; it is banned under international law. AWB strongly condemns this dangerous step and calls for global accountability.

Between 2020 and early 2025, Mauritanian security forces committed serious abuses against migrants and asylum seekers. Their rights to safety and dignity were not respected. Authorities must stop these violations and protect all people.

Anas al-Sharif was more than a journalist. He was Gaza’s voice. Killed in an airstrike on Aug 10, 2025, his courage reminds us: without truth, there is no justice. #JusticeForAnas #ProtectJournalists
