It's estimated that “gig” or “platform” work grew by 90 percent from 2016 to 2020. Yet labor protections for those workers have not kept up. In a new report, HRW documents the experiences of platform workers across nine countries, and urges governments to adopt strong standards to protect workers.

When anti-Rohingya sentiment turned into gunshots in Myanmar in 2017, 16-year-old Maung Sawyeddollah was forced to flee. What happens when you’re forced to leave your home? Where do you go? 🎙️In EP2 of The Great Unrooting, we hear from people around the world who have faced these questions.

NEW: The M23 armed group and Rwandan military forces carried out an abusive month-long occupation of an eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city beginning in December 2025. HRW documented numerous horrific abuses but may have only scratched the surface. Read more: https://bit.ly/4eLP0n8

Australian police have arrested Ben Roberts-Smith, a decorated Australian soldier who stands accused of committing five counts of war crimes in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012. This is a long-awaited but significant step toward accountability. HRW's @dgavshon.bsky.social speaks more:

Your reality doesn’t shift all at once. It whispers first. In the way you react differently. In the moment you don’t spiral. In the tiny synchronicities that feel almost… easy. That “in-between” space? Where nothing looks fully changed… #spiritualawakening #innerwork #selfgrowth #consciousliving
