Indeed, prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment must remain a top priority issue on @WHO's agenda.

It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Hans Kluge, Regional Director @WHO_Europe, and Dr. Michel Thieren, @WHO's representative in Israel, this week, strengthening relations ahead of the Regional Committee for Europe that #Israel will host in September.

Yesterday, @UNGeneva organized a solemn ceremony to commemorate all victims of the #Holocaust. The central part of the event was the testimony of Emma Adjadj, a Holocaust survivor. Several participants shared their impressions with us.

Very encouraging numbers, demonstrating clearly that the problem is the #Iran|ian regime, rather than the Iranian people.
The Iranians do not see Israel or the West as enemies and are divested from the regime’s hatred and illegal actions, while suffering under its yoke.
Important survey of Iranian public opinion by @gamaanresearch reveals that Iranian people are against the anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric and hateful slogans of their regime. Take a few seconds to watch this informative video. Thanks to @AmmarMaleki

As the last survivors pass away, it is time for us to take up the mantle; it is time for us to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, just as they did for those who passed before them. #WeRemember#HolocaustMemorialDay 4/4

But #antisemitism is on the rise. If individuals & even countries continue to distort historical facts about the #Holocaust, what chance do we have when the survivors are gone?
To have a chance, we must act now!
We must educate & ensure that this history is told again & again.3/4

Emma was just a child when she was separated from her family, hiding across France, & evading being captured. Her mother, Rosine, & three siblings were murdered in Auschwitz.
Today, at the service, she was surrounded by many of her relatives.
Life has prevailed. Merci, Emma! 2/4

On #HolocaustMemorial Day, the call by four rapporteurs to tackle modern antisemitism, including antizionism & hatred towards Israel, is extremely important. Given the rise of antisemitism, it is essential we tackle all manifestations wherever they occur. ow.ly/OwnT50HFc3E

#OTD On 27 Jan 1943, Jacob Charles Chicheportiche arrived at the Drancy transit camp, before being deported to #Auschwitz, where he was murdered.
Today, his relative Emma will be @UNGeneva to tell her story & that of her family during the #Holocaust.
