Torture & inhuman treatment is happening to me in New Zealand, all my complaints are ignored & i cant get a lawyer.

They have locked me in abusive psych wards & terrorised me with violent police. I denied all health care, police protection from crime etc. Told i am too unwell to sed a counsellor.

This woman has no sense of what she is talking about, She is merely a cushion for Israeli lies. She should be concerned about what the prisoners eat.

”شهدت أنا وأبناء جيلي قسوة الحروب ومرارة الصراعات، ورأينا آثارها المدمرة؛ من انهيار للاقتصاد، وإهدار للموارد، وانتشار للفقر والأمية والمرض والكراهية؛ ولذا فإن رسالتي إلى قادة وحكماء العالم: "ابذلوا كل ما في وُسعكم لإطفاء نيران الحروب، اتَّحدوا وسخروا جهودكم لإنقاذ المستضعفين والمشرَّدين، فالتاريخ سيذكركم بما حققتموه لشعوبكم وللإنسانية من استقرار وعدل وسلام". - فضيلة الدكتور أحمد الطيب، شيخ الأزهر الشريف.

Canada locks women in solitary confinement for being moody..

[Sundancer]

With respect, the references to Hamas on October 7th is one day in history, and the IDF have been committing war crimes for 380 days in Gaza. Proportionality!

UN Women claims to care about women's rights, but why does it turn a blind eye to incidents of women being abused?

[tenaguin]

After this many years one would think circumstances would be much better. Where is the system weakness for not having more positive progress?

[LonnieSeverson]

She does investigation like it is the Olympics, making a new appearance in a new location every year. "A lot of work to do, " is an understatement. Where does the phrase "humanitarian crisis" enter? How does she establish priorities. She looks like she tire out quickly and doesn't miss any meals. She looks like a prison guard herself.

Why Is the World Like This? The Tale of the Little Explorers

Once upon a time, there was a group of little explorers named Sofia, Mateo, and Juan, who always wanted to understand how the world worked. One day, they decided to go on a special adventure to find answers to the questions that filled their minds.

First Stop: Rich Countries and Poor Countries

While they were walking through the forest, Mateo asked, "Why are there people in some places who have so little, while in other places they have so much?" Sofia's grandmother, who was very wise, explained, “Some countries have become rich by using resources, even those from other countries. Also, some people have power and don’t always share what they have.”

Sofia thought for a moment and said, "Then, if we think about how to help and share, we can make a difference." The friends looked at each other and realized they wanted to be part of that change.

Second Stop: Peace and Justice

Later, Juan heard on a nearby town's radio a leader talking about peace and justice. But he remembered that not all countries always act fairly. “Why do some leaders talk about peace, but don’t always do peaceful things?” he asked, curious.

Grandma told them, "Sometimes, what someone says is not the same as what they do. It's important to be honest and think carefully before we act." The little explorers decided that they would always be honest and fair to help make a better world.

Third Stop: Caring for the Earth

Along the way, they found a river full of fish and beautiful plants. The children knew that many leaders spoke about caring for the planet. “If we say we want to protect the Earth, why are there wars and harm?” Sofia asked, looking at the river.

Grandma sighed. “Sometimes, we forget that we all live on this same planet. It's important for everyone to care for life and be kind to each other.” The children agreed and promised to take care of animals, plants, and everyone they met.

Fourth Stop: Having Children or Not Having Children

Later, they saw a family with many children playing in the park and another family with just one child. “Why in some places do they ask people not to have kids, and in others, they want people to have many?” asked Mateo.

Grandma smiled. “Each country is different. Some want more people to keep growing, while others think there are already too many. But in the end, each family decides what is best for them.” The children thought it was good that everyone could choose what suited them best.

Fifth Stop: Machines and Work

At the end of the day, they saw a factory full of machines working quickly. Juan wondered, “Why is there more work for machines than for people?”

Grandma explained, “Machines help us do things faster, but we also need people to have work. The ideal situation would be to find a balance where everyone can work and help.” The children understood that machines were useful, but that people also needed to feel important in what they did.

The Journey Home

At the end of their adventure, the little explorers sat down to rest. They had learned that the world is very complex, full of difficult questions. But they also realized that each question brought them closer to wisdom and to finding ways to make the world a better place.

"Each question helps us understand the world a little bit more!" Sofia said with a smile. And so, the little explorers returned home, eager to share what they had learned and to keep asking questions.

Why are there rich countries with poor populations? Why do powerful, exploitative countries have leaders with peaceful religions who proclaim justice? Why are wars, genocides, and disregard for life increasing when they claim to be following a global sustainable development plan? Why are women bribed not to have children, only for couples to later be fined for not having them? Why is the world’s labor issue being resolved by increasing work for intelligent machines and reducing work for humans?

Thank you Israel and Jewsh people for your sacrifice to save humanity.

Ask your predecessor why he and his family was threatened for trying to investigate electronic remote tor. Ture on targeted individuals in the West perpetrated by the NSA and Intel agencies.

[unitedminds]

Is there any kind of criminals reformation provision, the ones which include mental health management of the criminals ?! Because the same rapists, abusers would be out in the society after their sentence is over, with/without the mindset change! Other such culprits who have not yet committed the crime may get effected from it, as well as the victims (fear and insurgency) in society.

[alexei]

Free free Kurdistan!! Free free Tibet!!! Free free Ichkeria !!

[joaomiguelxs]

Completely unacceptable to draw parallels between Hamas and the occupation in relation to her mandate of investigating torture and inhumane treatment for the sheer scale and duration of the occupation forces crimes. This is what you get when political favors for Western states as Australia are shaping those efforts. Shameful and biased statement.
