The '#WarOnDrugs' is not gender-neutral — it is deeply patriarchal. From punitive policing to child kidnappings by the state, women and girls pay a disproportionate price.

OHCHR drafts a report on these impacts & promising avenues forward.

Share inputs by 31 Mar.:
Call for inputs: OHCHR report on the impact of drug policies on the rights of women and girls
The report will address human rights challenges and gender-responsive approaches in law and practice.

@DropSiteNews REPORT | A United Nations report released today (February 13), documented that more than 6,000 people were killed during just the first three days of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) offensive to capture El Fasher in October 2025. The findings, detailed by the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR), include the following specifics: 🔴At least 4,400 people were killed within the city itself during those initial days, while over 1,600 others were killed as they attempted to flee along exit routes. 🔴Specific Atrocities: In one documented incident, RSF fighters reportedly used heavy weapons to open fire on a crowd of approximately 1,000 civilians sheltering at a university dormitory, killing about 500 people. 🔴Legal Assessment: The report concluded that the scale and brutality of the violence, which included mass killings, summary executions, and sexual violence, likely constitute war crimes and may amount to crimes against humanity. 🔴 UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk warned that the actual death toll from the week-long offensive is "undoubtedly significantly higher" than the initial three-day count. Nearly two-thirds of Sudan’s population now needs aid, with 13.6 million displaced. About one million have fled to South Sudan. PBS reported from a UN transit center near the border in Renk, South Sudan, which was initially built for 3,000 people, but where 9,000 people are now sheltering, many sleeping outside. Refugees describe bombings, killings, sexual violence and famine, as funding cuts worsen conditions. PBS News @NewsHour The United Nations is accusing a paramilitary group in Sudan of committing widespread atrocities that amount to war crimes and possible crimes against humanity. The nearly three years of relentless conflict in Sudan have triggered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. @IAmAmnaNawaz speaks to @AnnCurry for more.

🇨🇺 February 13 | The UN Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) expressed extreme worry over the “deepening socio-economic crisis” in Cuba, highlighting several key issues: ▪️ With over 80% of water pumping on the island dependent on electricity, power cuts are undermining access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. ▪️ Decades-long U.S. embargo and recent oil shipment restrictions are responsible for compounding economic strain. ▪️ Fuel shortages are also jeopardizing hospitals, including ICUs and emergency rooms, and disrupting the storage and delivery of vaccines and other temperature-sensitive medicines. ▪️ The rationing system and basic food basket have been disrupted, affecting school meals, maternity homes, nursing homes, and other social protections. ▪️ Vulnerable groups are being hit hardest. ▪️ Electricity cuts are also limiting communications and access to information. 👉 OHCHR urged all states to lift unilateral sectoral measures, saying policy goals cannot justify actions that violate human rights.

UN criticizes US sanctions on Cuba
The spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Marta Hurtado, alleged this Friday (13) that United States sanctions on Cuba, especially the recent tariff on American imports from countries that send oil to the island, violate the UN Charter. Speaking in Geneva, Hurtado said that such measures “affect the most vulnerable, are not effective and are not in compliance with the United Nations Charter or international law, as sanctions such as these must be imposed by the Security Council and not by a single country.”
