World Teachers Day
October 5th 2024

This upcoming World Teachers Day is an important reminder of the teachers around the world who are imprisoned. This year's theme is "Valuing Teachers' Voices." We must remember Fatima and how her voice has been silenced. Many teachers in Palestine and around the world are having their voices silenced this year. We urge you to remember these educators and post on social media to remind the world. Below are sample tweets that can go out on October 5th.

Today is #WorldTeachersDay, where we celebrate educators and their critical voices. But what happens when those voices are silenced? Meet Fatima Al-Rimawi, a Palestinian teacher and union leader imprisoned without trial. #ValuingTeacherVoices #FreeFatimaAlRimawi @eduint

Accused of "assisting t3rrorism" based on Facebook posts, Fatima Al-Rimawi now sits in prison without access to medical care or family visits. Her health is declining. We must not let her voice go unheard. #FreeFatimaAlRimawi #ValuingTeacherVoices #WorldTeachersDay

Fatima’s story isn’t unique. Across the world, teachers are punished for speaking truth to power. On this #WorldTeachersDay, let's amplify their voices. The future depends on it. #FreeFatimaAlRimawi #ValuingTeacherVoices www.freefatimaalrimawi.com

Fatima Al-Rimawi has dedicated 30+ years to educating children in Palestine. In January 2024, she was arrested and is being held in the notorious Damon prison. Her crime? Speaking up for her people. #FreeFatimaAlRimawi #WorldTeachersDay

Fatima’s husband, Ghassan, calls for international support. He urges us to stand with her and the many other women and teachers suffering in prison. Let’s raise our voices for those who’ve had theirs taken away. #FreeFatimaAlRimawi #WorldTeachersDay www.freefatimaalrimawi.com

Fatima’s detention is a violation of international human rights law. This #WorldTeachersDay, we call for justice for Fatima and all teachers imprisoned for speaking up. No more silenced voices! 🌎🧑‍🏫📢#FreeFatimaAlRimawi #ValuingTeacherVoices @yoavgallant @Israel_MOD
