In 2022, nearly 3500 desperate Rohingya attempted dangerous journeys across the Andaman Sea + Bay of Bengal. That's 360 per cent the number in 2021. This is a worrying trend. States need to act to save lives or people will continue dying at sea. https://t.co/vETuL6Em4i https://t.co/3hMi3TG03V

Elementary school. Secondary school. Higher education. At every level, the right to education is a human right and cannot be denied. Women +girls in Afghanistan deserve a chance to realize their full potential and contribute to their country's growth. #EducationDay #LetHerLearn https://t.co/PyWqHb8COe

Around 3040 desperate #Rohingya survived deadly boat journeys across the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea in 2022. After being adrift for months, they were disembarked in Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and Bangladesh. https://t.co/vETuL6Em4i https://t.co/LHWB1rTs33

Do you know how many refugees + asylum seekers from Myanmar there are across the Asia Pacific region? Or how many people are internally displaced within the country? Our new page on the humanitarian response to the Myanmar Situation has all this, and more. https://t.co/ONfotpXidi https://t.co/mn5rNtVggZ

The future of Afghan women hangs in the balance. In addition to restrictions on movement + education, recent bans on female staff in NGOs is already impacting the delivery of aid. For the future prosperity of the country their rights must be upheld. https://t.co/tIPDeM4LE7

Of the nearly 3500 desperate Rohingya who made dangerous boat journeys across the Andaman Sea + Bay of Bengal last year, about 3000 were disembarked. Almost 50 per cent of them were women + girls. They face risks of trafficking and gender-based violence https://t.co/TCMGnM5Hxb https://t.co/Up2mPjY2Ur
