¿Qué aspecto tendrá el mundo después de que hagamos la transición hacia energías renovables? Poner los derechos humanos en el centro puede ayudarnos a construir un mundo más limpio y más justo.
En la #COP30, los gobiernos están negociando qué significaría una transición justa.

Protecting Disability Rights Means Rebuking Harmful Autism Myths
In the 1950s, a so-called “refrigerator mother” theory falsely blamed autism on emotionally cold mothers, fueling decades of parental guilt and discrimination. That stigmatizing theory denied children...
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump repeated unfounded claims that vaccines or Tylenol cause autism.
These statements risk pulling policymakers’ focus from the rights-respecting policies children with autism need and deserve.

Joint civil society statement on the UC & PIP Bill
Monday 30th June 2025
We are coming together as organisations committed to fighting poverty,
providing advice, and supporting and championing the rights of disabled
people, their families, and carers. We stand firmly with disabled people and
their organisations in calling for the UK government to withdraw the UC & PIP
Bill and to undertake genuine dialogue with disabled people to shape
reforms centred on the rights and dignity that all disabled people need and
deserve.
At a time when the share of GDP spent on working-age social security has
remained stable for the last ten years, cutting the incomes of disabled people
is a political choice. There is time for the government to pursue alternatives.
If this Bill is voted through, then by 2030 it will have cut PIP for more than
400,000 disabled people and Universal Credit for more than 700,000 people
who are disabled or have a long-term health condition. These numbers will
only increase in the years to follow.
This Bill has also been brought before parliament:
• Without consultation with disabled people
• Without any assessment of its impact on health and employment
outcomes
• Before the planned review of the PIP assessment has properly begun
its work
• Without knowing how the outcome of the PIP review may affect these
reforms
The changes announced last week and the compressed timetable for scrutiny
mean that MPs will only have a single day to debate or amend the new
provisions. There is too much at stake for disabled people for this Bill to be
rushed through without the opportunity for meaningful challenge or
scrutiny. We urge all MPs to vote against this Bill at Second Reading.

Today, the UK government will ask MPs to railroad through social security legislation that makes cuts to disability-related benefits to the next stage.
@hrw.org joins 80+ other orgs asking MPs to reject the UCPIP Bill. It is bad news for human rights.

Dispatch for @hrw.org on the draft bill on social security in the UK.
The proposed benefit cuts will harm people with disabilities, worsen poverty, and undermine rights.
The government says the bill “will protect the most vulnerable.” Its own data belie that claim.

At least 350 transgender and gender-diverse people have been murdered over the past year, according to the Trans Murder Monitoring Project.
This Trans Day of Remembrance should serve as a rallying cry for vigilance, protection, and action.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri.
These warrants should push the international community to address atrocities and secure justice for all victims in Palestine and Israel.
