Every year on February 12th, Red Hand Day encourages political leaders to stop the use of child soldiers. This day is also referred to as the International Day against the Use of Child Soldiers.

Hundreds and thousands of handprints have been collected in more than 50 countries and handed over to politicians and to responsible parties, including UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. There is progress, but there are still 250,000 child soldiers in the world.

Help to stop this abuse of children. Show your Red Hand to the world!

Together we can STOP Child Labour! 🛑✋

Child labour is a violation of human rights and can have detrimental effects on the physical, mental, spiritual, moral, or social development of children.

It often involves long hours, dangerous working conditions, and little or no pay. Children who are forced to work like slaves and often denied the opportunity to attend school and receive an education, which can lead to a lifetime of poverty and hardship. 🏫

Child labour can also perpetuate the cycle of poverty and social inequality. Therefore, it is important to stop child labour to protect children and promote their well-being.

Note: All work done by children under the age of 15 and dangerous work done by children under the age of 18 is illegal.

Child labour exists because: ⇾ People accept it and often invent excuses for it. ⇾ Children’s rights are not accepted. Governments fail to provide compulsory, free, and accessible education. ⇾ International agreements and conventions are ignored. ⇾ The education system fails to include poor and vulnerable children. ⇾ Companies worldwide demand cheap labour. ⇾ Countries can benefit from cheap labour. ⇾ Children are a soft target for a helping hand. ⇾ We have not done enough to stop it.

Let’s take an oath, Child-Labour is a crime and we won’t support: https://bit.ly/3H87PiZ

📃 The belated email from ‘SolidarityNow’—a tacit admission of their knowledge of my additional visit to their headquarters on Friday, April 12th, 2024, which went unacknowledged at the time, purporting to address my initial inquiries and subsequent complaints, neglected the crucial issues, offering excuses and denying assistance. Despite submitting a follow-up response the following Monday—also copied to the UNHCR, no further communication from the organization ensued.

Joe Biden aprueba suministrar a Ucrania de bombas de racimo

WASHINGTON * 7 de julio de 2023. ) Efe El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, ha aprobado el suministro a Ucrania de las

polémicas bombas de racimo existentes en los arsenales del Pentágono y se dispone a hacer un anuncio oficial este mismo viernes al respecto, informó la prensa estadounidense. La decisión, que elude la prohibición legal existente para la producción, empleo y suministro de este tipo de armas, se produce después de que organizaciones como Human Rights Watch (HRW) hayan pedido a Washington no suministrarlas. El diario The Washington Post destacó que la medida se produce en momentos en que los ucranianos están sufriendo una disminución en sus arsenales de munición de artillería convencional suministrada por Occidente y creciendo la preocuVolodímir Oleksándrovich Zelenski​, pación sobre la lentitud de la contraofensiva ucraniana contra las tropas rusas en el sureste del país. Según HRW, tanto las fuerzas ucranianas como las rusas vienen utilizado bombas de racimo, un tipo de munición que está prohibido por la mayor parte de los países. El debate sobre la bombas racimo El asesor de la oficina presidencial ucraniana Mijailo Podoliak defendió este jueves el suministro de bombas de racimo por parte de Estados Unidos e indicó que “los ‘activistas

por los derechos humanos’ lanzan una agresiva campaña de lobby… no para expulsar a Rusia de Naciones Unidas, sino para torpedear el suministro de armas a Ucrania”. Por su lado, el secretario general de la OTAN, Jens Stoltenberg, afirmó este viernes que corresponde a cada Estado miembro de la Alianza, de manera individual, decidir si entrega bombas de racimo a Ucrania. “Corresponde a los aliados individuales tomar decisiones sobre la entrega de armas y suministros militares a Ucrania y corresponderá a los Gobiernos decidir, no a la OTAN como Alianza”, declaró el político noruego durante una rueda de prensa previa a la cumbre de líderes aliados que se celebra en Vilna la próxima semana. Las bombas de racimo explotan en el aire sobre un objetivo, liberando decenas de explosivos más pequeños en un área amplia, muchos de los cuales no acaban por estallar, lo que crea un problema de seguridad para la población civil a largo plazo. ] Síguenos en www.Facebook.com/acapulcopress Read the full article

This is what most of our meals look like—tea and crumbs of dry bread. I search for these scraps in the corners of tents and along the roads, hoping they might quiet the hunger in our stomachs that remains unfilled for days. 😢

My heart breaks for my children, who are slowly wasting away before my eyes. Soon, they will be nothing but skin and bones, fragile and lifeless, because of the severe lack of food. ☠️

I beg you, for the sake of humanity and the future of our children, stand with us. Donate, even the smallest amount, or share our campaign to reach as many hearts as possible. Your kindness could mean the difference between life and death for my family. ❤️

Monthly Roundup November 2024

Haiti’s gangs are recruiting child soldiers, rights group says

"Hundreds, if not thousands, of children “driven by hunger and poverty” have in recent months joined gangs and were forced to commit criminal acts ranging from extortion and looting to killing and kidnapping, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a report published on Wednesday."

Gang-related child soldier recruitment in Haiti surges over past years

"Within the Haitian capital, Port-Au-Prince, it is estimated that 1.2 million children are subject to the threat of armed violence, and 25 percent of all displaced persons in the country live in dire conditions that potentially subject them to armed violence. “Children in Haiti are trapped in a vicious cycle—recruited into the very armed groups that are fueling their desperation, and the numbers are growing,” stated UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell in the report."

Researchers analyze DNA from dung to save Laos elephants

"[C]onservationists are hoping DNA analysis of elephants' dung will help them track both captive and wild tuskers, so they can secure a healthy genetic pool and craft an effective breeding plan to protect the species."

🛑🚨Don’t Scroll Away - This is Urgent!🚨🛑

Time is running out, and every moment matters. Our fundraising has stalled – the last donation was over 10 days ago. After 6 months, we’ve only raised 5% of our goal, with $2,551 out of $50,000.

I’m new to Tumblr, and I desperately need your help to save my family and give my daughter a chance to build her life.

Help this family survive. I don’t know what else to do. If you can’t donate, a simple reblog on your personal blogs could make all the difference. It’s a small gesture for you, but it can mean the world to us.

Call the government and tell them to cancel the arrest warrant - the allegations are false - I do not have intentions to hurt myself nor anyone else nor am I seeing nor hearing things other people don't - the police are trying to abuse me.

“A broad consensus of UN experts, amnestyusa, humanrightswatch, & Israeli human rights orgs have all formally recognized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians as apartheid. The American people across faiths & communities see it, too. It’s time for Congress to stop burying its head in the sand.”
