No #MeToo Moment For India's Women In The Workplace: Daily Brief
Plus: Protestors stand strong in Egypt; Saudi misses out while China is narrowly re-elected to UN Human Rights Council; EU support for Mozambique should protect rights; poor conditions in new Lesbos migrant camp in Greece; Australians still trapped in Syria; and protecting abortion rights.
India’s poorly enforced anti-sexual harassment laws leave women living in poverty at risk of abuse in the workplace, new HRW research shows.
Despite ruthless crackdowns from the country's security forces, Egyptians continue to protest against abuses.
China has been narrowly re-elected to the UN Human Rights Council, but with notably lower numbers than before. Meanwhile serial rights abuser Saudi Arabia, which had also hoped to win a seat on the body, failed to get enough votes.
The EU’s counterinsurgency efforts in Mozambique should protect civilians.
After a fire destroyed the Moria migrant camp in Greece, a new temporary camp was set up on Lesbos, but that has now been soaked through by heavy rains.
Australia citizens still trapped in Syria need the government’s help to return home.
And finally, abortion rights are human rights, and women should be free to make decisions about their own bodies.
