Campaign Digest: May 2026

Our Campaign Digest provide updates on efforts from across the globe in the fight to decriminalise poverty, status and activism with partner’s updates, as well as the latest resources and events.
Key updates include collaborative initiatives to address street homelessness in Africa, efforts to decongest overcrowded prisons in the Philippines, and international campaigns by campaign partners like Amnesty International to defend targeted human rights lawyers and activists against state repression. Additionally, the digest shares critical calls for data on women’s rights in the justice system and highlights a wealth of new reports exposing discriminatory sentencing, the escalating criminalization of dissent, and dire prison conditions worldwide.
