👉 I am excited to share that I have been selected for the 2025-2026 Emerging Experts Program of the Forum on the Arms Trade.
This marks another step in my journey of study and work in the field of #humanitarian #disarmament. I can’t wait to get started on this new experience!
80 years ago today, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan.
The B-29 dropping plane was made by the Glenn L. Martin Company - which is Lockheed Martin today.
Lockheed Martin is still producing planes for heinous massacres.
End the arms trade.
Commemorating #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki is not just about looking back. It’s about taking responsibility for the future.

It may start with #landmines, but the bigger threat lies in the erosion of the laws of war.

To mark the first 100 days of President Trump's second term, Human Rights Watch has cataloged 100 of the administration’s human rights harms 🧵⤵️
#Estonia #Latvia #Lithuania #Finland #Poland – DO NOT EXIT the Mine Ban Treaty!
Your choices shape the future. "Young people are watching, and we’re counting on you" to uphold the ban on landmines!

Devastating news from #Finland
NEVER stop talking about Afghan Women 🕊️
Today the humanitarian disarmament regime is at risk. We cannot allow fear to lead us down the road of inhuman weapons of destruction. There are other roads to take, weapons never make us safe

Authorities in #Georgia are plunging the country into ever deeper human rights crisis, including by adopting 'foreign agents' law that could spell the end of independent civil society. There's still time to drop the bill and respect fundamental human rights! Read @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/03...
1/4 The decision of withdrawal from Mine Ban Treaty risks putting the lives of civilians in #Poland, #Finland, #Lithuania, #Estonia and #Latvia in danger, not only during conflict, but also long after.

We are gravely concerned by reports that Israel’s renewed airstrikes on Gaza have killed hundreds of civilians including children.
We call on all parties to the conflict & actors with influence to ensure the ceasefire is immediately reinstated & negotiations resumed.
