Geneva - UN chief Antonio Guterres launched a"call to action" on Monday against rising attacks on human rights, highlighting the persecution of minorities and"alarming levels of femicide".

Guterres launched a"call to action" to"people everywhere" to take action in seven areas -- including halting violence against women and girls, boosting protection for people trapped in conflict and recognising the challenges created by the climate crisis and new technologies.
