2022 has been a gloomy year in which, in addition to the conflicts that no one talks about, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has turned the world upside down. A country until recently at peace which, according to the complaint by Amnesty International spokeswoman Maribel Tellado, is now plagued by “human rights violations” and “war crimes”.
And it is that human rights are in crisis, even in places where a priori it would seem unimaginable. In this regard, international law expert Julio González points out that what happened in United States with the right to abortion This is possibly the clearest case, but he cautions that “It is a risk that we have in all countries“.
Women and their situation in the world are of great concern to experts. In this sense, González emphasizes the terrible figures of the sexist violencenot only in Spain but also in other countries, and in “the little sensitivity of some sectors” with this scourge.
When it comes to women’s rights, Afghanistan It is crowned as one of the great black holes of the planet. Pepe Fernández, president of Médicos del Mundo, recalls that he “started with the topic of ban work in general, after the education secondary education for girls” and “now university education for women”.
The latest Taliban movement has also been a checkmate to the world in solidarity with ban women from working in NGOs. Eloísa Díaz, from Médicos del Mundo, emphasizes that “700 women work at World Vision and they will not be able to continue doing so.”
In Iran, Mahsa Amini lost his life this past year for defending his rights. It is no coincidence that she was a 22-year-old girl because, according to Tellado, there is a “growing community, especially of young people, who are not willing to keep quiet.”
The Amnesty spokeswoman also highlights the fact that finally this past year “they have recognized that what israel is doing against the palestinian people constitutes apartheid“.
There are many challenges for 2023: among them, Tellado highlights the need to receive the migrants who -he denounces- “have found themselves not only unprotected, but sometimes with a brutal treatment by the security forces themselvesThe organizations ask the media to continue working to bring to light any violation of these rights.
