#PeoplesHistory | Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Ni Una Menos (Not One (Woman) Less) movement which calls for an end to all forms of gender-based violence.
The movement was born out of a national mobilization on June 3, 2015 which took place in 80 cities across Argentina, the largest mobilization in Argentine history calling for an end to violence against women and justice for victims.
The demand for justice and an end to violence resonated with feminists and social organizations across the region and the world, and Ni Una Menos became a rallying cry in Latin America and the Caribbean.

🇵🇸 The Freedom Flotilla has set sail to Gaza carrying aid, with the intention to break the blockade and put pressure on world leaders to demand an end to the genocide.
The Madleen’s crew includes climate justice activist Greta Thunberg and MEP Rima Hassan, alongside volunteers from Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Türkiye. The members of the flotilla have received threats and attacks from Israeli leaders, but they have vowed to continue forward to break the siege and demand action from the rest of the world.

🇨🇺The impacts of a tightened US blockade, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the return of Trump with a vindictive Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, have deepened the crisis in Cuba, making international solidarity with the island more important than ever.
Manolo De Los Santos writes: "Cuba is once again facing a severe, multi-faceted crisis, not due to the hurricanes that pummel through the Caribbean every year, but from the relentless and suffocating pressure exerted by its powerful neighbor to the north. This is a recurring story of a people striving for independence under an unyielding siege and blockade. Through deliberate actions, the US government has been meticulously constructing and enforcing even greater barriers that threaten the very survival of the Cuban people."

Despite widespread opposition in Serbia, the European Commission has included a lithium and boron mining project by multinational corporation Rio Tinto on its list of strategic projects located outside the European Union.
The announcement has been met with outrage by residents of the Jadar Valley and activists across Serbia, who have spent years mobilizing to block the project. “The European Commission has backed this project despite the opposition of the people, who have been resisting it for five years, as its realization poses significant risks to water supplies, the environment, and the economy,” the campaign Pravo na vodu (Right to Water) wrote on social media.
