Violence against women and girls is a gross human rights violation. It’s pervasive, and for forcibly displaced people, there is a heightened risk. But it’s not inevitable, unless we stay silent. On #HumanRightsDay, let's speak out, #OrangeTheWorld and break the cycle of abuse. https://t.co/CmyIc9pq95

Zakia, 21, lives with her mother and her four siblings on the outskirts of Kabul, Afghanistan. She had to become the head of the family after their father died a few years ago. Together with her sister, Zakia weaves carpets, earning barely enough to support the family. https://t.co/YSWJ4Ar7fg

UNHCR urges countries in the Asia Pacific to disembark about 200 Rohingya refugees in distress, reported to be drifting in a vessel in the Andaman Sea. Many are reported to have lost their lives and others are at risk without adequate food and water. https://t.co/YGQat9frhY

Women forcibly displaced by conflicts bear the brunt of wars. When they flee their homes for safety, they face risks of gender-based violence, including sexual exploitation and abuse. They have a right to live free from fear. #16Days #OrangeTheWorld https://t.co/nNT8DkBk2p
