During their visit to Morocco 🇲🇦, UK’s 🇬🇧 Special Envoy for Gender Equality Alicia Herbert OBE and Human Rights Global Ambassador Rita French 🇬🇧 , were excited to highlight how both our kingdoms work together to exchange ideas and approaches to advance human rights and gender equality.

Thank you Simon Martin and the entire team UK in Morocco for such a productive trip 🇬🇧🇲🇦

The visit was certainly sweetened by the many treats on offer 😊

What better way to end our two days in Morocco than a reception at the British residence with Minister Aawatif HAYAR, government representatives & civil society to celebrate advancement of human rights and gender equality in Morocco.

Time for tea? 🫖🇬🇧🇲🇦

Apparently the choices are sweet or extra sweet 😊

Great to hear from Ministry of Justice on their plans to deliver gender responsive policies across the justice system in Morocco.

Valuable meeting with UN partners in Morocco to discuss women’s and children’s rights, protection of refugees and media freedom. 🇺🇳🇲🇦🇬🇧

“I am an independent, strong woman”

I cannot think of a better Ambassador for those living with disabilities than 20 year old Samia, who has been breaking down barriers all her life.

My statement on South Sudan at 🇺🇳 Human Rights Council
gov.uk/government/spe…

Lukashenko’s regime continues to commit gross human rights violations including arbitrary detentions, violence & intimidation against its own people.

Recent tragic deaths in detention of Ihar Lednik & Vadzim Khrasko are appalling.

My #HRC55 statement
gov.uk/government/spe…

Village burnings, mass killings, airstrikes against civilian targets - atrocities committed by Myanmar military on innocent civilians. There is no justification.

The culture of impunity must end.

There must be accountability.

My statement at #HRC55

gov.uk/government/spe…

The human rights situation in Iran is appalling. Women persecuted & their voices forcibly repressed. Civic space restricted & human rights defenders targeted.

UK also condemns targeting of BBC News Persian by the Iranian authorities.
