Protest, Dissent, and the Fight for Fundamental Freedoms

The newsletter also highlights the detention of humanitarian workers in Yemen by Houthis, concerns surrounding immigration detention practices in the United States and restrictions on online expression in the Philippines.

This edition also features an insightful article by International Human Rights Certificate Program graduate Rosita Sekandari examining the impact of the Taliban’s employment restrictions on Afghan women and their broader human rights and socioeconomic consequences.
