SAY NO, ACT NOW 

On the surface, Afghanistan looks nothing like China. China looks nothing like Myanmar. Myanmar looks nothing like the United States. But they have one thing in common: they’re running the same playbook:

Silence those who speak the truth. Weaponise the law against dissent. Concentrate power and undermine legal protections. Quash opposition before it can organise. Scapegoat vulnerable groups to spread fear and division.  

And when all else fails, corrupt the very elections that are meant to hold leaders to account. This is the playbook for authoritarianism. And it’s being run, with devastating effectiveness, in country after country.  

In moments like these our movement needs to stand together - relentless in our messaging, ensuring no human rights abuse goes unnoticed.

Your ongoing support has already led to real victories. Last July, we saw the ICC issue arrest warrants against Taliban leaders for crimes against women and girls - a landmark moment years in the making.

Donate today and support the counter-playbook that fights authoritarianism.
