Political leaders in India are creating a violent environment by making hateful speeches, says Amnesty International India.

Women who are interested in learning how to stand for election as an MP or local councillor can take part in ‘become a candidate’ training sessions and peer support circles.

Siham Sergiwa is the latest prominent Libyan woman to have been targeted following a series of killings, abductions and death threats since 2014.

The Trade Union Congress, community groups, human rights organisations and charities have made an unprecedented joint call on political parties to eradicate hate speech during the European election campaign.
