It's easy to feel like 2022 was a step backwards when confronted with endless gloom in news headlines. But there were in fact plenty of stories worth celebrating this year.
Throughout 2022, Amnesty’s ongoing campaigning, media and advocacy work contributed to positive outcomes for people all over the world whose human rights were being violated. Individuals unjustly detained were freed from prison. Human rights abusers were held accountable. Vital legislation and resolutions were passed by governments at national and international level. Progress towards the global abolition of the death penalty continued. And important advances were made both for the rights of women and LGBTI people.

- #russia #ukrainewar #older
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022, has been characterized by a flagrant disregard for civilian life and frequent war crimes. Ukraine, where people over 60 years old make up nearly one-fourth of the population, is one of the “oldest” countries in the world. Often reluctant or unable to flee their homes, older people appear to make up a disproportionate number of civilians remaining in areas of active hostilities, and as a result, they face a greater likelihood of being killed or injured. A new Amnesty International report shows how intersecting challenges, from disability to poverty to age discrimination, are compounded in emergency situations, putting older people at heightened risk.

Yren and Mariana want to live their lives freely, but as trans women they are busy fighting for their rights. Trans people in Paraguay can’t legally change their names or obtain identity documents that match their gender identity. The state is trying to make them invisible. What’s more, it is difficult for trans groups to protest and speak out about the barriers they face.

- Russian authorities are persecuting attempts to exercise the right to freedom of speech and assembly that spares no journalists and independent human rights watchdogs observing protests. Cases of illegal state interference in journalists’ work, arrests and harassment of reporters and independent monitors demonstrates that the Russian authorities have adopted a repressive approach aimed to discourage people from participating in protests and also to minimize any public knowledge of them.

- But the hardest working team in Qatar had to pay thousands of dollars in upfront recruitment fees just to secure their jobs. Some have worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to make the World Cup possible – often for less than the minimum wage and under threat of penalties.
Many have been cheated out of their wages or forced to pay unfair fines – all while trying to support their families back home.

Two years ago, Dorgelesse was busy running her hairdressing business and supporting her family. She had never attended a protest. In September 2020, concerns about the state of Cameroon’s economy led her to protest for the first time. During the peaceful demonstrations, Dorgelesse was arrested. She was charged with ‘“insurrection, assembly, meetings and public demonstrations”’ and sentenced to five years in prison. She is desperate to be reunited with her family.
Tell Cameroon to free Dorgelesse Nguessan.

- Human rights are intimately linked with climate change because of its effect on not just the environment but our own well-being. Its effects will continue to grow and worsen over time, creating ruin for current and future generations. This is why the failure of governments to act on the climate crisis in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence may well be the biggest inter-generational human rights violation in history.

Since the Myanmar military’s coup on 1 February 2021, nearly 16,000 people have been arrested, another 2,391 men, women and children have been killed – including by unlawful air strikes. These air attacks have sparked widespread fear, displaced entire communities in conflict-affected areas and destroyed homes, religious buildings, schools and medical facilities.
Without aviation fuel, the Myanmar military would not be able to conduct their air attacks. Yet companies have continued to be involved by supplying, insuring, financing and transporting aviation fuel despite the risks of that fuel being diverted or directly provided to the Myanmar military.
Here’s our plan. If these businesses know that more and more people like you are watching, then together we can disrupt the flow of fuel used in air strikes and save lives in Myanmar.
