International Women's Day: Dramatic deterioration in respect for women's rights and gender equality

March 7, 2022

Alarming assaults on women’s rights around the world in 2021/22.
Legal protections dismantled, and women human rights defenders now at unprecedented risk.
Protection and promotion of women’s and girls’ rights and support for women human rights defenders crucial, including for Covid-19 recovery.

Governments must act decisively to reverse regressions and uphold human rights for women and girls.

Catastrophic attacks on human rights and gender equality over the past twelve months have lowered protection for and upped threats against women and girls across the globe, Amnesty International said today.

Excerpt: Amnesty International's Secretary General, Agnès Callamard
Events in 2021 and in the early months of 2022 have conspired to crush the rights and dignity of millions of women and girls
