Deaths At Work CGT Protest - Paris

Illustration of CGT protest about 'deaths at work' in the context of World Day for Safety and Health at Work. The CGT placed several hundred silhouettes on the square in front of Paris City Hall illustrating 'deaths at work' in Paris, France on April 25, 2024. According to CGT statement: “In France, according to social security, an employee dies at work every 3 days. These are not the “risks of the profession”, but rather the consequences of employers' quest for maximum profit, with disregard for health and safety. This massacre is taking place with the complicity of the government which is organizing a reduction in obligations to protect employees by employers and weakens the means of control.” Photo by Pierrick Villette/ABACAPRESS.COM

Women Started Online Twitter Campaign - Afghanistan

★I am Afghan woman. This is my traditional Afghan dress. I do not allowed anyone to changed or to disregard my culture. We Afghans are proud of traditional & historical culture. Afghan women have started an online Twitter campaign to protest the Taliban's female dress code by posting photos with traditional clothes. The photos went viral with a hashtag: #DoNotTouchMyClothes. That hashtag and #AfghanistanCulture soon became a worldwide trend on social media. It all started with one photograph from Dr Bahar Jalali, a former history professor at the American University in Afghanistan. The photos, the hashtags and the viral online campaign soon became a global protest- where Afghan women were saying 'No' to the Taliban diktat on clothes. Dr Bahar Jalali, an Afghan historian and gender studies expert, posted the first photo using the #DoNotTouchMyClothes hashtag, which has since inspired Afgha
