The Year in Human Rights Tweets: 2015
People fleeing war, violence, and repression and braving perilous journeys seeking refuge, emerged as a powerful and recurring theme in the fight for human rights in 2015. With conflicts in countries like Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Libya, the Mediterranean Sea became the world's deadliest migration route. Women's rights and the protection of children's rights, particularly the right to education, also featured prominently throughout the year. Drawing from tweets written by the Human Rights Watch twitterati and shared by a global audience supportive of human rights, here is 2015 in tweets.
