This fascinating exhibition reveals, amongst others, the stories of Simon Wiesenthal, Emmanuel Ringelblum and Rachel Auerbach, Raphael Lemkin, Vasily Grossman, Alfred Wiener, Eva Reichmann and more. All pioneers who documented the horrors of the Holocaust. #GenocidePreventionDay
#GenocidePreventionDay | We are proud to partner with @GermanyUNGeneva to bring this exhibition @UNGeneva.
🇮🇱@AmbRazShechter: "It was certainly obvious and clear to these pioneers that this would be their way to process what they have been through, the genocide of their People."
“Crimes Uncovered - The First Generation of Holocaust Researchers” is a new exhibition at @UNGeneva commemorating the lives of 20 researcher pioneers of the #Holocaust and their endeavors to underline the importance of remembrance, documentation and prosecution after the WW2.
In 1943, Raphael Lemkin was 1️⃣ to use the term #genocide to describe the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the Jews during the #Holocaust.
Today, together with @GermanyUNGeneva, we will honor him and other researchers/institutes for their pioneer work.

Wheelchairs of Hope is a unique 🇮🇱humanitarian initiative. It designed an innovative and affordable children's designed wheelchair. So far, @IsraelMFA and @wheelchairsofhp partnered in 7 countries, benefiting more than 10K children and caregivers. #IDPDwheelchairsofhope.org/
"Don't stop dreaming, no matter what people say" @Shalva_Center Band. This is one of the three inspiring quotes placed on the back of the wheelchairs aimed at children attending the Human Rights Council, which were donated today to @UNGeneva by 🇮🇱@AmbRazShechter.

#IDPD2019 | Today, @AmbRazShechter announced the donation by Israel of three 🇮🇱@wheelchairsofhp ♿️♿️♿️to @UNGeneva. This is a concrete step to make the UN truly accessible, so that persons with #disabilities can actively take part and influence world issues discussed in Geneva.
Ending violence against #women is one of the top priorities of Israel, one we are strongly advocating for @UNGeneva. Events such as this powerful 'She's Gone' exhibition ⬇️ contribute to this crucial goal. #16Days
Today at @IsraelMFA, an event was held marking the Intl day for the #EliminationofViolenceAgainstWomen, with the art installation project 'She’s gone'.
We're committed to continue working hard around the world to raise awareness & battle this awful phenomenon. #orangetheworld
Last week, residents of the south of Israel were targeted by more than 450+ rockets sent from Gaza by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
This Ambassadors' visit ⬇️ will surely be an eye-opener.
Days after south Israel was attacked with hundreds of rockets from Gaza, I and @BnaiBrith brought int’l Ambassadors to UN in Geneva to meet local residents-and see remarkable continued aid to Gazans. Heard from 🇮🇱 civilians of their ongoing plight, but also their hope for #peace.
From the first time I came to 🇮🇱@Shalva_Center for the Care and Inclusion of persons with #disabilities, years ago, I was so moved. I decided that I will bring my colleagues, in whichever capacity, from all over the world, to see this amazing place.

Visiting @KnessetIL (Israel's Parliament) is a must for any official delegation travelling to Israel. We are glad that the delegation of Ambassadors to the UN could hold meetings there, in the heart of our strong and vibrant #democracy.

We will meet officials, civil society reps, members of various religious communities, families of victims of terrorism and residents of communities in the south & north of #Israel. We will see the Israeli hi-tech and innovative projects on disabilities, gender equality and more.
Combatting sexual abuse of children is a key priority for Israel. We have shared several best practices, such as this video, which is included in an awareness-raising program to educate children to seek help and to report abuses.

❌Every second, 7 children are being sexually abused across the world! 270 million each year.
📢Together with 🇪🇺🇺🇾, we have decided to emphasize the importance of preventive measures in fighting this gross violation of children's rights.
We will soon share a summary of the talk.

Since yesterday, #Gaza terrorists have launched 220+ rockets at Israeli civilians, targeting 110+ cities, towns & communities across 🇮🇱.
These ⬇ are just some of them.
Even under these difficult circumstances, Israelis continue to stand strong. We will NOT give in to terror.
