Quotes Nobody wakes up one day and decides to leave their country if there is good governance, if there is a rule of law, if human rights are in fact being protected and respected. What will happen to those who are vulnerable? More criticisms of government plans for asylum-seekers by Simon Sarmiento, 28 April 2022, Retrieved 22/11/2023 My commitment to human rights is rooted in the Botswana value of botho: the conviction that one’s humanity is bound up with the humanity of each and every person in the world, that every person has the right to be treated with dignity. Our fellow human rights defenders the world over are criminalised, disappeared, threatened, and even killed. The space given to us to express ourselves is shrinking. It is thus more important than ever to emphasize that our values are universal and that we must fight back! We must amplify local voices at regional and international levels. Member organisations are the lifeblood of FIDH; our strength lies in our diversity. Botswana activist Alice Mogwe, new FIDH President:“The universality of human rights is under attack - we must fight back!.FIDH, October 24 2019 Stoning is an extremely cruel form of punishment, amongst the worst kinds of torture.
