Please learn the signs of child exploitation. 🙏🏽
000 0
Justice Upheld @justiceupheld.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
This orange and black image is from the human rights charity Justice Upheld describing child exploitation. 

Warning signs can include:

🚩 Sudden behavioural shifts,
🚩 Unexplained money or gifts,
🚩 Frequent missing episodes,
🚩 Multiple phones, or travel to unfamiliar areas.
🚩 Are they lost, confused or anxious?
🚩Do they appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol?

Child exploitation is a human rights issue.

It demands accountability, trauma-informed safeguarding, and stronger community awareness.

If you work in education, social care, policing, healthcare, local government, or the charity sector, you’ll already know this is everyone’s responsibility to look out for.

What is sometimes dismissed as naughty kids or teens going off the rails, is sometimes structured, strategic, often invisible exploitation. Child exploitation is a human rights issue. It demands accountability, trauma-informed safeguarding, and stronger community awareness.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

This is also a back door into having everyone upload a 180 degree scan of their face to the government. It will be under the guise of proving your age, but will then be used in the technocratic, dystopian hellscape that Labour are intent on building. @BigBrotherWatch are doing great work 1/2

Blasphemy laws in Pakistan which often result in a death sentence, are being weaponised to settle personal disputes. Sometimes against Muslims, but more often than not, against religious minorities in the country.

When society tells vulnerable people that it’s not their time for human rights quite yet, they have to wait just a little longer to be recognized as human beings… That is justice delayed, right? Everyone between now & when society finally gets around to dealing with it is being denied justice.

Hillary Clinton betrayed the people of Libya and damaged the country so badly that a bloody civil war broke out. Today there are literally African men being sold as slaves to farms as because of her actions. But sure, let’s hear her thoughts on human rights…

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton carried out 10X more drone strikes than George W. Bush, killing close to 3,800 people. As many as 807 of those were later found to be innocent civilians. To adopt Mrs. Clinton’s language, the American regime always ends up betraying someone.

NSW anti-protest laws were rushed through to keep the peace. They’ve failed
NSW is now one of the most draconian anti-protest jurisdictions in the democratic world, with anti-protest rules that violate international law.

The intellectual blind spot for many anti-imperialists is their inability to grasp that two realities can coexist at once. The horror revealed in the Epstein files does not absolve Russia of the plethora of human rights violations committed against children in Syria, Ukraine, and Mali. (1)
