SUMMARY:Day of Democracy / Dag van de Democratie 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Day of Democracy provides an opportunity to review the state of democracy in the world. \nDemocracy is as much a process as a goal\, and only with the full participation of and support by the international community\, national governing bodies\, civil society and individuals\, can the ideal of democracy be made into a reality to be enjoyed by everyone\, everywhere. The values of freedom\, respect for human rights and the principle of holding periodic and genuine elections by universal suffrage are essential elements of democracy. In turn\, democracy provides the natural environment for the protection and effective realization of human rights. These values are embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and further developed in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights\, which enshrines a host of political rights and civil liberties underpinning meaningful democracies. The link between democracy and human rights is captured in article 21(3) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, which states: \n“The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.” \nThe rights enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic\, Social and Cultural Rights and subsequent human rights instruments covering group rights (e.g.indigenous peoples\, minorities\, people with disabilities) are equally essential for democracy as they ensure an equitable distribution of wealth\, and equality and equity in respect of access to civil and political rights. \nLinks:\nDay of Democracy \nVier de Dag van de Democratie

SUMMARY:United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples / VN-Verklaring van de Rechten van Inheemse Volken 2025
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP or DOTROIP) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday\, September 13\, 2007\, by a majority of 144 states in favour\, 4 votes against\, and 11 abstentions. \nThe groundwork toward this declaration began in 1923 and 1925 with the works of Haudenosaunee Chief Deskaheh and Māori T.W. Ratana\, who attempted to bring issues of Canada and New Zealand’s failure to uphold treaties to the League of Nations\, United Nations’ precursor. In May 2016\, Canada officially removed its objector status to UNDRIP\, almost a decade after it was adopted by the General Assembly. By now the other three objectors have\, to varying degrees\, also turned their votes. As a General Assembly Declaration\, UNDRIP is not a legally binding instrument under international law. According to a UN press release it does “represent the dynamic development of international legal norms and it reflects the commitment of the UN’s member states to move in certain directions”; the UN describes it as setting “an important standard for the treatment of indigenous peoples that will undoubtedly be a significant tool toward eliminating human rights violations against the planet’s 370 million indigenous people\, and assisting them in combating discrimination and marginalisation.” UNDRIP codifies “Indigenous historical grievances\, contemporary challenges and socio-economic\, political and cultural aspirations” and is the “culmination of generations-long efforts by Indigenous organizations to get international attention\, to secure recognition for their aspirations\, and to generate support for their political agendas.” Canada Research Chair and faculty member at the University of Saskatchewan Ken Coates argues that UNDRIP resonates powerfully with Indigenous peoples\, while national governments have not yet fully understood its impact. \nLinks:\nUnited Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

SUMMARY:Steve Biko – sterfdag (1977) 2025
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Bantu (Steve) Biko (Koning Willemstad\, 18 december 1946 – Pretoria\, 12 september 1977) was een voorvechter van de burgerrechten in Zuid-Afrika. \nTussen augustus 1975 en september 1977 werd Biko viermaal door het apartheidsregime opgepakt en langdurig ondervraagd. Op 21 augustus 1977 werd hij opgesloten in Port Elizabeth. Hier werd hij telkens voor verhoor meegenomen naar het hoofdbureau van de politie. Op 7 september constateerden artsen verwondingen aan zijn hoofd. Neurologische complicaties negeerden zij. Vijf dagen later verloor Biko het bewustzijn. De aanwezige arts adviseerde ziekenhuisopname\, waarop Biko naakt in de achterbak van een Land Rover naar Pretoria werd getransporteerd. De 1200 km lange rit duurde 12 uur. Enkele uren na aankomst in de Pretoria Central Prison overleed hij\, 30 jaar oud en alleen liggend op de vloer van zijn cel. De lijkschouwing wees uit dat hij was gestorven aan ernstig hersenletsel en inwendige kneuzingen. Sinds maart 1976 was hij de negentiende gevangene\, die onder verdachte omstandigheden was overleden. Bij zijn begrafenis waren ongeveer 15.000 mensen aanwezig onder wie diplomaten uit 12 westerse landen. \nLinks:\nSteve Biko Foundation \nS.

SUMMARY:Zorgen voor dakloze gezinnen in Amsterdam - publicatie
DESCRIPTION:In het onderzoek ‘Zorgen voor dakloze gezinnen in Amsterdam‘ – dat inzoomt op de problematiek rond dakloze gezinnen in Amsterdam – worden conclusies getrokken en aanbevelingen gedaan richting de lokale en landelijke overheid. \nRechten van kinderen in kwetsbare huisvestingssituaties staan ernstig onder druk doordat ze in onveilige plekken verblijven\, van bank naar bank hoppen\, soms zelfs gescheiden van hun ouders. Ze hebben geen plek om huiswerk te maken of te kunnen spelen. Ouders zijn vaak emotioneel afwezig omdat ze in overlevingsstand staan. De gevolgen voor kinderen op korte en lange termijn zijn groot: van uithuisplaatsingen tot verslaving\, mentale problemen\, zoals depressie of trauma tot dakloosheid op latere leeftijd. \nLinks:\nRapport Kinderombudsman: ‘Zorgen voor dakloze gezinnen in Amsterdam’

SUMMARY:Day to Protect Education from Attack 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Day to Protect Education from Attack was established by a unanimous decision of the UN General Assembly\, calling on UNESCO and UNICEF to raise awareness of the plight of millions of children living in countries affected by conflict. \nThe resolution A/RES/74/275 proclaiming the Day was presented by the State of Qatar and co-sponsored by 62 countries. The General Assembly resolution affirms that governments have the primary responsibility to provide protection and ensure inclusive and equitable quality education at all levels to all learners\, especially those in vulnerable situations. It further emphasizes the need to intensify efforts and increase funding to promote safe and protective school environments in humanitarian emergencies by taking all feasible measures to protect schools\, learners and educational personnel from attack\, refrain from actions that impede children’s access to education\, and facilitate access to education in situations of armed conflict. UNESCO and UNICEF will facilitate the annual observance of the Day in close collaboration with partners within and outside the UN system. Working on the frontlines in conflict-affected countries\, the UN entities have long assisted Member States in strengthening their capacity to provide access to quality educational opportunities for all in times of crisis. \nLinks:\nDay to Protect Education from Attack \nThe Safe Schools Declaration

SUMMARY:Stop de criminaliseringswet - demonstratie
DESCRIPTION:Kom naar de landelijke demonstratie ‘Stop de criminaliseringswet!’ voor een rechtvaardige en humane samenleving\, omdat criminalisering van migranten en vluchtelingen een slecht voorstel is. \nHet drijft mensen uit elkaar. Omdat het mensen bang maakt om hun gezicht te laten zien\, bang om hulp te zoeken. Omdat het degenen bevoordeelt die er misbruik van maken: uitbuiters\, misbruikers\, dieven en geweldplegers. En vooral: omdat het de menselijke waardigheid ondermijnt. Daarom houden we deze demonstratie: om onze stem te laten horen tegen dit voorstel\, waar de Senaat in september over zal stemmen. \nLinks:\nStop de criminaliseringswet \nLos Angeles\, New York\, San Francisco (en Amsterdam): wat doen ‘sanctuary cities’ voor ongedocumenteerden?

SUMMARY:Het Buitenspeelalarm 03-09-2025
DESCRIPTION:Jantje Beton\, een organisatie die zich inzet voor jeugdvoorzieningen in Nederland\, organiseert de campagne ‘Het Buitenspeelalarm’ op iedere eerste woensdag van de maand. \nHiermee wil Jantje Beton wij een krachtig signaal afgeven tegen de dreigende ‘binnenzitgeneratie’.

Méér dan 400.000 kinderen in Nederland spelen nooit buiten. Er ontstaat een hele generatie aan binnenzitters. Dat is niet gezond. Jantje Beton maakt zich grote zorgen en slaat alarm! Vind jij buitenspelen ook superbelangrijk? Meld je dan aan voor het Buitenspeelalarm. Iedere eerste woensdag van de maand ontvang jij een extra herinnering om samen met je kind naar buiten te gaan of je kind naar buiten te sturen! Het alarm is niet alleen een melding\, maar je ontvangt ook leuke tips\, speelplekken en allerlei andere zaken om lekker naar buiten te gaan! \nLinks:\nHet Buitenspeelalarm

SUMMARY:A coalition of ten Dutch and Palestinian NGOs are accusing the Dutch State of failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure Israel respects international law - Appeal
DESCRIPTION:On 3 September 2025\, the Dutch Court of Appeal will hear a case brought against the Dutch government by Al Haq\, Al-Mezan\, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights\, and Dutch NGOs Een Ander Joods Geluid (EAJG)\, European Legal Support Center (ELSC)\, Groningen Jabalya\, Netherlands Palestina Komitee\, SOMO\, Stichting Kifaia\, and Stichting Palestina\, and is supported by Erev Rav and Plant een Olijfboom. \nThe case demands an end to the Netherlands’ role in enabling Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and its unlawful military occupation and colonisation of Palestinian land. These actions are not isolated policies\, but central pillars of a Zionist settler-colonial project rooted in forced displacement\, land theft\, and racial domination. The appeal challenges a ruling issued by The Hague District Court in December 2024\, which acknowledged the Dutch state’s obligations under international law but declined to enforce them. The court accepted the government’s position that arms exports could proceed under a “case-by-case” licensing framework\, even though the International Court of Justice determined that plausible genocide is being carried out in Gaza\, and the Dutch territory remained actively involved in transferring weapons used in that context. The court deemed the government’s “discouragement policy” on trade with illegal settlements as sufficient\, without evaluating its effectiveness or consistency with international law. In doing so\, the court affirmed a model of governance in which legal commitments are treated as symbolic\, accountability is optional\, and bureaucratic procedures replace political responsibility. This appeal is a direct challenge to a system that reduces state complicity in atrocities to a matter of bureaucratic discretion. The Netherlands’ entanglement in Israel’s regime of apartheid and colonisation is not new. It reflects a longer arc of European complicity in Zionist state-building and the violent reordering of Palestinian land\, demography\, and sovereignty. As a former colonial power\, the Netherlands has reconstituted its relationship to empire through trade\, surveillance\, and weapons supply. These entanglements expose the lie of European neutrality. For decades\, Dutch governments have offered diplomatic cover\, economic protection\, and logistical access to a state that has made the subjugation of Palestinians its governing principle. \nLinks:\nInfrastructure of genocide: the case confronting Dutch support for Israel’s war machine \nRuling in the case A coalition of ten Dutch and Palestinian NGOs are accusing the Dutch State of failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure Israel respects international law – Appeal \nVolgens het gerechtshof Den Haag bestaat er een ernstig risico dat Israël genocide pleegt in Gaza en het humanitair oorlogsrecht schendt

SUMMARY:At the rate journalists are being killed in Gaza by the Israeli army\, there will soon be no one left to keep you informed - RSF and Avaaz launch international media operation
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of media outlets\, brought together by the campaigning platform Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders (RSF)\, are waging a campaign calling for the protection of Palestinian journalists in Gaza\, the emergency evacuation of reporters seeking to leave the Strip\, an end to impunity for Israeli crimes against Gaza’s reporters and that foreign press be granted independent access to the territory. \nAccording to RSF data\, 220 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip in less than 23 months. On the night of 10 August alone\, the Israeli army killed six journalists in a targeted strike against Al-Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif. Less than a week ago\, on Monday\, 25 August\, the Israeli army killed five journalists in two consecutive strikes. Today\, hundreds of media outlets in over 50 countries are mobilising in solidarity with Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip\, alongside RSF and Avaaz. This international operation consists of an entire or partial blackout of the front pages of print media\, banners on online news sites\, and audio or video messages broadcast by radio and television stations. In line with the call launched by RSF and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in June\, the media outlets involved in this campaign are making three demands: \n\nthe protection of Palestinian journalists and an end to the impunity for crimes perpetrated by the Israeli army against them in the Gaza Strip.\nthe foreign press be granted independent access to the Gaza Strip.\nthat governments across the world host Palestinian journalists seeking evacuation from Gaza.\n\nWith the opening of the 80th United Nations General Assembly\, they demand strong action from the international community and call on the United Nations Security Council to stop the Israeli army’s crimes against Palestinian journalists.\nLinks:\nAt the rate journalists are being killed in Gaza by the Israeli army\, there will soon be no one left to keep you informed \nMeerdere media op zwart om dood journalisten in Gaza \nWaarschuwingsstelsel sirene en NL-alert test \nWijWerkenHierNietAanMee \nRecord 129 press members killed in 2025; Israel responsible for 2/3 of deaths – publication

SUMMARY:Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances / Dag voor de Slachtoffers van Gedwongen Verdwijningen 2025
DESCRIPTION:Enforced disappearance has frequently been used as a strategy to spread terror within the society\, the feeling of insecurity generated by this practice is not limited to the close relatives of the disappeared\, but also affects their communities and society as a whole. \nEnforced disappearance has become a global problem and is not restricted to a specific region of the world. Once largely the product of military dictatorships\, enforced disappearances can nowadays be perpetrated in complex situations of internal conflict\, especially as a means of political repression of opponents. Of particular concern are: \n\n    the ongoing harassment of human rights defenders\, relatives of victims\, witnesses and legal counsel dealing with cases of enforced disappearance;\n    the use by States of counter-terrorist activities as an excuse for breaching their obligations;\n    and the still widespread impunity for enforced disappearance.\n\nSpecial attention must also be paid to specific groups of especially vulnerable people\, like children and people with disabilities. \nOn 21 December 2010\, by its resolution 65/209 the UN General Assembly expressed its deep concern about the increase in enforced or involuntary disappearances in various regions of the world\, including arrest\, detention and abduction\, when these are part of or amount to enforced disappearances\, and by the growing number of reports concerning harassment\, ill-treatment and intimidation of witnesses of disappearances or relatives of persons who have disappeared. By the same resolution the Assembly welcomed the adoption of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance\, and decided to declare 30 August the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances\, to be observed beginning in 2011. \nLinks:\nDay of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances – 30 August \nEnforced disappearance (Amnesty International)

SUMMARY:I Have a Dream (1963) 2025
DESCRIPTION:I Have a Dream (Nederlands: Ik heb een droom) is de titel van een beroemde rede die Martin Luther King hield op 28 augustus 1963. \nDe rede van bij elkaar 17 minuten hield King voor het Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. De woorden van King inspireerden niet alleen de bezoekers ter plekke\, maar ook elders in de wereld en in latere tijden. De rede hield hij ter gelegenheid van de mars naar Washington die die dag in de stad was aangekomen\, ten overstaan van een publiek van meer dan 250.000 mensen. Van de rede werd rechtstreeks verslag uitgebracht op televisie. De rede hield hij voor een publiek van meer dan 200.000 mensen ter gelegenheid van de mars naar Washington die die dag in de stad was aangekomen. Met de mars wilde de Amerikaanse burgerrechtenbeweging de weg vrijmaken voor meer arbeidsplaatsen\, vrijheid en gelijkheid\, in het bijzonder voor de Afro-Amerikanen in de Verenigde Staten. De mars werd georganiseerd door zes mensenrechtenorganisaties die The Big Six genoemd werden. Van de rede werd rechtstreeks verslag uitgebracht op televisie en ze kende een uitgebreidere media-aandacht dan welke gebeurtenis ook sinds de inauguratie van John F. Kennedy als president van de Verenigde Staten op 6 januari 1961. \nLinks:\nMartin Luther King’s first I Have a Dream speech recording unearthed \nFull text at the BBC \nVideo of “I Have a Dream” speech – LearnOutLoud.com \n“I Have a Dream” – AmericanRhetoric.com \n“I Have A Dream” speech – Dr. Martin Luther King with music by Doug Katsaros \nI Have a Dream Summary (Class 12)

SUMMARY:Herdenkingsprotest voor kinderslachtoffers in Gaza
DESCRIPTION:Op zondag 24 augustus 2025 vindt voor de dertiende maal een groot herdenkingsprotest plaats voor kinderslachtoffers in Gaza\, op het Vredenburgplein in Utrecht zetten vrijwilligers opnieuw duizenden kinderschoenen neer. \nStichting Plant een Olijfboom roept hiermee op om deze kinderen niet te vergeten en er alles aan te doen om het genocidale bezettingsgeweld door Israel voor altijd te stoppen. Palestijnse kinderen worden niet alleen vermoord met bombardementen\, tankgeschut of kogels van scherpschutters\, maar ook zijn zij bewust uitgehongerd. Leiders van het Israëlische regime kondigden al in oktober 2023 aan niet te willen toestaan dat voedsel\, brandstof of wat dan ook Gaza nog binnen zou komen. En ook rondom maart 2024 zijn tientallen kinderen verhongerd. Deze uithongeringscampagne is in 2025 geïntensiveerd\, waardoor 263 Palestijnen waarvan minstens 112 kinderen verhongerd zijn. Deze kinderen die nu niet meer leven hadden dromen\, levens\, families en een toekomst. Kinderen die nog wel leven in Gaza hebben dat ook\, evenals hun ouders en grootouders. Tijdens het herdenkingsprotest worden namen van vermoorde kinderen gelezen door bekende en minder bekende Nederlanders. Zanger Douwe Bob zal naast het namen lezen ook muziek maken om daarmee aandacht te vestigen op Gaza. Namen worden gelezen door actrice Babette van Veen\, rapper Dio\, actrice Anna Drijver\, presentator Joris Linssen\, voormalig minister Hedy d’Ancona\, presentatrice Haddasah de Boer\, regisseur Doke Romeijn\, NVJ voorzitter Folkert Jensma\, duurzame lifestyle-expert Marieke Eyskoot\, politicus Tofik Dibi\, theoloog Janneke Stegeman\, theatermaker Jelle Zijlstra\, huisarts Rinske vd Goor\, journalist Maya-Nora Saaid\, radio host Q-Bah\, schrijver Arjan el Fassed\, Melody Raymann en vele anderen. \nLinks:\n24 augustus lezen BN’ers namen tijdens herdenkingsprotest met kinderschoenen in Utrecht

SUMMARY:Tweeminutendebat plus stemmingen over de situatie in Gaza [UITGESTELD]
DESCRIPTION:De Tweede Kamer komt op donderdag 21 augustus 2025 terug van het zomerreces\, tijdens een regeling van werkzaamheden zal Kamerlid Sarah Dobbe (SP) verzoeken om een tweeminutendebat plus stemmingen te houden over de situatie in Gaza. \nDe Tweede Kamer zet op vrijdag 22 augustus het debat voort over de situatie in Gaza. Er zijn ook stemmingen over de moties die de Kamerleden een dag eerder hebben ingediend. Op 21 augustus besloot de Kamer om het debat en de aansluitende stemmingen af te breken en op vrijdag 22 augustus te vervolgen. Dit vervolg is na de wekelijkse vergadering van de ministerraad. Minister Caspar Veldkamp van Buitenlandse Zaken\, met wie de Kamer het debat voert over Gaza\, kan daar overleggen over het onderwerp. Tijdens de vergadering kreeg Veldkamp geen steun voor meer maatregelen tegen Israël en nam ontslag. Omdat de vergadering uitliep\, is ook het tweeminutendebat nogmaals uitgesteld. Met een tweeminutendebat kan het commissiedebat (CD) over hetzelfde onderwerp van 7 augustus worden afgerond. De regeling van werkzaamheden\, waarin de Kamer haar agenda bepaalt\, wordt gehouden op verzoek van 38 Kamerleden. Tijdens die regeling kan de Kamer besluiten om het tweeminutendebat te houden. Ook kan zij besluiten tot stemmingen na het tweeminutendebat over eventueel ingediende moties. Een tweeminutendebat is een kort debat waarbij iedere politieke partij twee minuten spreektijd krijgt. Zo’n kort debat wordt gebruikt om een onderwerp plenair af te ronden.

SUMMARY:Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief 2025
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations General Assembly decided to designate 22 August as the International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief. \nThe General Assembly\, in its resolution A/RES/73/296\, designated 22 August as the International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief recognizing the importance of providing victims of acts of violence based on religion or belief and members of their families with appropriate support and assistance in accordance with applicable law. It strongly deplored all acts of violence against persons on the basis of their religion or belief\, as well as any such acts directed against their homes\, businesses\, properties\, schools\, cultural centres or places of worship\, as well as all attacks on and in religious places\, sites and shrines that are in violation of international law. A previous resolution establishing the International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism (A/RES/72/165) also recognized that working together to enhance the implementation of existing legal regimes that protect individuals against discrimination and hate crimes\, increasing interreligious\, interfaith and intercultural efforts and expanding human rights education are important first steps in combating incidents of intolerance\, discrimination and violence against individuals on the basis of religion or belief. \nBy proclaiming an International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief\, the General Assembly recalled that States have the primary responsibility to promote and protect human rights\, including the human rights of persons belonging to religious minorities\, including their right to exercise their religion or belief freely. Freedom of religion or belief\, freedom of opinion and expression\, the right to peaceful assembly and the right to freedom of association are interdependent\, interrelated and mutually reinforcing. They are enshrined in articles 18\, 19 and 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Upholding these rights plays an important role in the fight against all forms of intolerance and of discrimination based on religion or belief. The open\, constructive and respectful debate of ideas\, as well as interreligious\, interfaith and intercultural dialogue\, at the local\, national\, regional and international levels\, can play a positive role in combating religious hatred\, incitement and violence. Furthermore\, the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and full respect for the freedom to seek\, receive and impart information can play a positive role in strengthening democracy and combating religious intolerance. \nLinks:\nDay Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief

Iedere eerste woensdag van de maand ontvang jij een extra herinnering om samen met je kind naar buiten te gaan of je kind naar buiten te sturen!

SUMMARY:Roma Holocaust Memorial Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:Monument to the Memory of the Holocaust of the Romani (Gypsies) in the site of German Nazi crimes during the second world war\, Borzęcin\, Brzesko County\, Poland\, click picture to enlarge By Jakub Hałun – Own work\, CC BY-SA 4.0\nRoma Holocaust Memorial Day (known by various slightly different names) is a memorial day that commemorates the victims of the Sinti and Romani Holocaust\, which resulted in the murder of an estimated 220\,000–500\,000 Sinti and Romani people by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. \nThe date of 2 August was chosen for the memorial because on the night of 2–3 August 1944\, 2\,897 Roma\, mostly women\, children and elderly people\, were killed in the Gypsy family camp (Zigeunerfamilienlager) at Auschwitz concentration camp. Some countries have chosen to commemorate the genocide on different dates. The European Parliament on 15 April 2015\, declared “that a European day should be dedicated to commemorating the victims of the genocide of the Roma during World War II and that this day should be called the European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day”. The Council of Europe also holds commemoration ceremonies.Links:\nThe History and Significance of August 2\, Roma Holocaust Memorial Day”

SUMMARY:#Childfree #InternationalChildfreeDay Non-Parents Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:International Childfree Day is celebrated annually on 1 August\, it was created in 1973 in the United States by the National Alliance for Optional Parenthood\, at the time the National Organisation for Non-Parents (N.O.N.)\, under the name of Non-Parents’ Day. \nThe day is aimed at celebrating people who voluntarily choose not to have children and to foster acceptance of the childfree choice. It has also been described as “a day of celebration worldwide for those couples who have faced criticism\, ridicule\, and rejection because they chose to be Childless by Choice.” The initiative\, resurrected in 2013 by author Laura Carroll\, also bestows annual Non Parent of the Year Award\, which initially consisted of a male and a female. As of 2018\, the ‘male’ and ‘female’ categories were replaced by Childfree Person of the Year (a person of any gender identification) and Childfree Group of the Year (a couple\, duo\, trio\, or a group\, whether childfree romantic partners\, social media groups\, forum leaders\, or website founders). Winners include Belgian writer Théophile de Giraud and American author Jennifer Thorpe-Moscon in 2013. The 2020 winners were Elizabeth Hintz\, an American doctoral candidate who “has dedicated her professional career to understanding and normalizing childfree experiences”\, and the Russian internet community “Childfree”\, which “has helped so many people to find a point of support in so pro-child\, so patriarchal Russian society.” \nLinks:\nChildfree Day / Non-Parents Day

SUMMARY:#HumanTrafficking #EndHumanTrafficking World Day Against Trafficking in Persons / Werelddag tegen Mensenhandel 2025
DESCRIPTION:Human trafficking is a crime that exploits children\, men and women for numerous purposes including forced labour and sex. \nTrafficking in persons is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. Every year\, thousands of men\, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers\, in their own countries and abroad. Almost every country in the world is affected by trafficking\, whether as a country of origin\, transit or destination for victims. UNODC\, as guardian of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the Protocols thereto\, assists States in their efforts to implement the Protocol to Prevent\, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (Trafficking in Persons Protocol). The Protocol to Prevent\, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons defines Trafficking in Persons as the recruitment\, transportation\, transfer\, harbouring or receipt of persons\, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion\, of abduction\, of fraud\, of deception\, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person\, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include\, at a minimum\, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation\, forced labour or services\, slavery or practices similar to slavery\, servitude or the removal of organs. The World Day against Trafficking in Persons was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly\, in its resolution A/RES/68/192. Theme 2024: “Leave No Child Behind in the Fight Against Human Trafficking“. \nLinks:\nWorld Day Against Trafficking in Persons – 30 July \nExplainer: Understanding Child Trafficking \n8 facts you need to know about human trafficking in the 21st century

SUMMARY:24-uurs wake Buitenlandse Zaken (TV webcast live)
DESCRIPTION:Vanaf vrijdag 25 juli 2025 organiseert Rotterdam Palestina Coalitie samen met bezorgde burgers en organisaties een doorlopende 24-uurs wake bij het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken in Den Haag. \nDeze actie is een dringend moreel en politiek appel op de Nederlandse regering om per direct sancties waaronder een wapenembargo tegen Israël in te stellen\, het associatieverdrag met de zionistische entiteit per direct te verbreken en haar medeplichtigheid aan de genocide in Gaza te beëindigen. Tijdens de wake zullen onafgebroken de namen van de vermoorde Palestijnen hardop voorlezen. De wake is een directe reactie op de aanhoudende weigering van de Nederlandse regering om op te treden tegen de genocide in Gaza. Ondanks protest\, petities\, demonstraties en maatschappelijke oproepen blijft Nederland actief samenwerken met en investeren in het Israëlische apartheidsregime. Het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken is een symbool van de morele crisis waarin Nederland zich bevindt. Nederland is de grootste investeerder in Israël in de Europese Unie. Terwijl in Nederland de armoede toeneemt en er steeds meer mensen op straat leven\, er geen betaalbare woningen zijn\, het onderwijs en de zorg afbrokkelen\, gebruikt Nederland onze belastingcenten om een genocide te financieren. Er is sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog geen hongersnood zo zorgvuldig gepland als in Gaza. Dit is geen natuurverschijnsel. Dit is een bewuste\, politieke keuze. Niet alleen van het zionistische apartheidsregime\, ook van de VS en de EU en dus ook van Nederland. Daarom voelen de deelnemers zich genoodzaakt om in actie te komen en deze 24-uurs wake bij het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken te organiseren. Nederland had eigenhandig allang een halt kunnen toeroepen aan deze holocaust door een volledig economisch embargo op te leggen. Maar Nederland kiest er bewust voor om weg te kijken. De wakers doen dit niet. \n\nSancties tegen Israël\, waaronder een volledig wapenembargo;\nEen einde van het associatieverdrag met Israël;\nDat Nederland open grenzen voor voedsel\, water\, medische en humanitaire hulp afdwingt;\nDat de directe en indirecte Nederlandse financiering van het Israëlische leger en wapenbedrijven onmiddellijk stopt.\n\n\nLinks:\n24-uurs wake Buitenlandse Zaken \nDoorlopende wake voor Gaza bij ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken \nTweede Kamer NL Commissiedebat : Situatie in Gaza \nSpreek elke dag voor Gaza \nBezetting UU voorbij\, demonstranten naar protest in Den Haag

SUMMARY:Wikimedia Foundation Challenges UK Online Safety Act Regulations - publication
DESCRIPTION:On 22 and 23 July 2025\, the High Court of Justice in London will hear the Wikimedia Foundation’s legal challenge to the Categorisation Regulations of the United Kingdom (UK)’s Online Safety Act (OSA).  \nThe Wikimedia Foundation\, the non-profit that operates Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects\, announced its legal challenge earlier this year\, arguing that the regulations endanger Wikipedia and the global community of volunteer contributors who create the information on the site. In May 2025\, the Wikimedia Foundation launched a legal challenge against potential designation as a “category one” service under the Act\, which would subject Wikipedia to the most stringent requirements. The Foundation warned that complying with the law would compromise Wikipedia’s open editing model and invite state-driven censorship or manipulation. The Daily Telegraph reported in July 2025 that Wikipedia may restrict access for UK users if the government insists on full compliance. \nLinks:\nWikimedia Foundation Challenges UK Online Safety Act Regulations \nWe Support Wikimedia Foundation’s Challenge to UK’s Online Safety Act

SUMMARY:Economic sanctions now: the EU is Israel’s largest investor - publication
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 15 July 2025\, European Union (EU) foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels to decide whether to impose sanctions on Israel. \nThis is a crucial moment for the EU to draw a red line and stop pumping billions of euros into Israel’s economy\, fuelling genocide and occupation. SOMO’s analysis of trade and foreign investment into and from Israel reveals how deeply intertwined the European and Israeli economies are. Based on this analysis\, SOMO calls for the immediate suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement\, along with a full arms embargo\, extensive economic sanctions and corporate accountability. The EU is the largest investor in Israel worldwide\, nearly twice as big as the United States (US). According to the most recent IMF data on foreign investment\, EU member states held €72.1 billion in foreign investment in Israel in 2023\, compared to €39.2 billion for the US. Israel itself has invested €65.9 billion in the EU\, seven times as much as in the US (€8.8 billion). That makes the EU the main destination for Israeli investment. Despite Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and its unlawful occupation across the Occupied Palestinian Territory\, the EU increased exports to Israel by €1 billion\, standing at €25.5 billion in 2023 and €26.7 billion in 2024. The EU is Israel’s largest trading partner\, and its total trade with Israel in 2024\, including imports and exports\, amounted to €42.6 billion. This is significantly more than the US\, whose trade with Israel totalled €31.6 billion in the same year. Of all EU member states\, the Netherlands is by far the largest investor in Israel and is responsible for two-thirds of EU investment in Israel. In fact\, no other country worldwide has more investments in Israel. With €50 billion in investment held by Dutch companies in 2023\, the Netherlands even tops the US. Conversely\, the Netherlands is also the largest destination for Israeli investment\, attracting six times as much investment as the US. \nLinks:\nAs mass starvation spreads across Gaza\, more than 100 NGOs make an urgent plea to allow in life-saving aid \nOccupied Palestinian Territories: joint statement\, 21 July 2025 \nFrom economy of occupation to economy of genocide \nGeen land investeert meer in Israël dan Nederland
