United Nations: on Civil Rights


Joe Biden: Rights for women and minorities part of our shared humanity

We have to continue working to ensure that women and girls enjoy equal rights and equal participation in their societies. That Indigenous groups; racial, ethnic, religious minorities; people with disabilities do not have their potential stifled by systemic discrimination. That the LGBTQI+ people are not prosecuted or targeted with violence because of who they are. These rights are part of our shared humanity.
