🏳️🌈 On September 23, we celebrate 𝗕𝗶+ 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆. Despite the fact that bi identities have been around for longer than we can pinpoint, they are often forgotten, misunderstood, or denied in today’s society. Grateful for this powerful collab with @zorageraldus ❌ Myths and misconceptions, lack of media representation, or plain bigotry all lead to a phenomenon known as ”bi-erasure.“ In many parts of their lives, bi people go unrecognized and are mistreated

Khieo Lapchanh, a 26-year-old Lao political activist, has been missing in Thailand since 15 September 2026. Before disappearing, Khieo faced relentless digital transnational repression for speaking out on political and social issues in Laos. He was doxxed, targeted with AI-manipulated content, threatened with forced return, and subjected to death threats, including a USD 8,000 bounty on his life. Fearing for his safety, he had already been forced into silence. 📍 Last Seen: ~

Close the #GenderPayGap! ✊🏽 Women work more, but are valued and paid far less.
This #InternationalEqualPayDay, we are calling out an injustice that has been normalised for far too long.

We’re proud to join days of conversations, connections, and collective action to push the corporate accountability agenda forward at #UNRBHR2026.

The death of online anonymity? Catch Manushya at the 2026 Future of Online Speech Conference
#StopDigitalDictatorship 📲 Is online anonymity dying… and should we let it? For journalists, activists, and whistleblowers, anonymity is a lifeline.

15th September #DemocracyDay 🌏 Hey SEAblings, what does ‘democracy’ mean in your own language? ✊
Across Southeast Asia, our languages may differ, but we all recognise democracy's absence as our civil and political freedoms shrink day-by-day. When fisherfolk and Indigenous communities are silenced for speaking out. When union leaders are criminalised. When protest is met with repression. When authoritarian states police dissent online and offline while protecting those already in power. 🧋 But repression has also taught our movements to find each other across borders. The

#SexWorkerPrideDay 🏳️🌈✊ Sex work is work. So why does Thailand still criminalise sex workers instead of protecting their rights?
Under Thailand’s Criminal Code and the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act B.E. 2539 (1996), sex work continues to be treated as unlawful and immoral. Sex workers can face fines, imprisonment, or both, as laws intended to combat trafficking blur the crucial distinction between consensual adult sex work and human trafficking. 💬 “Sex work isn’t immoral. What’s immoral is a legal system that protects employers but not workers.” —’Ton’ Sirisak Chaited, non-binary huma

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay 🫂 Who takes care of the people defending everyone else?
Advocacy can be exhausting, especially for defenders who confront injustice every day. This World Suicide Prevention Day, let’s remember, as black feminist civil rights activist Audre Lorde reminded us, self-care isn’t self-indulgent; it’s political resistance. 🪷 Rest. Set boundaries. Ask for help. Check in on your people and the movement. We cannot build a more just and democratic world by neglecting ourselves along the way. Take care of yourself. Take care of each other. O

🚨 Digital Rights Watch! Malaysia’s new Cybercrime Bill will expand transnational repression
On 20 July, Malaysia’s Dewan Negara (Senate) passed a cybercrime law that will expand transnational repression.

#StopTransnationalRepression ✊ Exile wasn’t enough to silence this Cambodian Woman activist, so they went after her family instead…
Chhin Chou stood up against land grabbing and demanded fair livelihoods for farmers in her hometown in Cambodia. 🇰🇭 For her courage, she was threatened, hunted, and forced into exile. But the repression didn't stop when she reached Thailand or Canada. Authorities continued to harass and threaten her parents back home to force her into silence. Despite this all, Chhin Chou refuses to be silent. She continues to speak truth to power for her people. 👉 Swipe through to learn
