My commitment to human rights is rooted in the Botswana value of botho: the conviction that one’s humanity is bound up with the humanity of each and every person in the world, that every person has the right to be treated with dignity.

What will happen to those who are vulnerable?

We must amplify local voices at regional and international levels. Member organisations are the lifeblood of FIDH; our strength lies in our diversity.

Stoning is an extremely cruel form of punishment, amongst the worst kinds of torture.

Nobody wakes up one day and decides to leave their country if there is good governance, if there is a rule of law, if human rights are in fact being protected and respected.

This brutal violence defies my understanding, particularly within our global context of international standards of human rights and protection of the dignity of all. It illustrates how cruel men can be towards women. We call on the sudanese society, authorities as well as the international community to stop that monstrousity.
