The UN addresses systemic racism and police brutality
George Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd, speaks via video message during a debate on racially inspired human rights violations, systematic racism and police brutality against people of African descent at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, June 17, 2020.
The United Nations addressed systemic racism and police brutality in the US. And, in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, Minnesota, many people in the Middle East say they need more conversations about anti-black racism at home. Also, a transgender Kuwaiti woman was released on bail after support poured in from across the globe. Her lawyer calls it “the biggest LGBT movement in Kuwait” history.
