How can the EU better support #HumanRightsDefenders in need of protection? Many defenders face persecution in their home countries due to their #HumanRights work. Yet it is hard for them to reach safety in Europe. New #EURightsAgency report argues that flexible relocation

What's it like being Black and living in Europe today? Published today, our report on racism in the EU shows entrenched racism. Nearly half of people surveyed face discrimination, an increase since 2016. In Germany and Austria, it's as high as 70%.

#HumanRights are under threat, says United Nations Sec-Gen António Guterres at today’s #RightsForum24. We must act urgently to protect all human rights, civil, cultural, economic, political & social. Leaders have a responsibility to uphold the rights of all individuals in every community.

With all these elections in 2024, it's been hard to know what to say. From the UK result, it feels like a win for democracy with a free and fair election, without disinformation (?), and a peaceful transition of power. These days I don't take that for granted! #UKElections2024

Apparently I've been on Twitter/X for 15 years... It used to be a community and give me meaningful professional networks, full of ideas. It was a public space, even part of a new democracy. Now, many of those thoughtful voices are gone - and much of my network. #MyXAnniversary
