The Secretary-General of the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), Noureddine Taboubi, poses for a portrait in his office at the union's headquarters in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 4, 2025, ahead of a march toward the mausoleum of union leader Farhat Hached in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 4, 2025, marking the 73rd anniversary of his assassination. The commemoration escalates into a protest against President Kais Saied's economic and social policies. Trade unionists demand the protection of union rights and freedoms, as well as the resumption of social dialogue and salary negotiations. The UGTT denounces that the planned salary increases in the private and public sectors, as outlined in the 2026 Finance Bill, are implemented without any social dialogue with the government. The confrontation between the UGTT and President Kais Saied's government reflects a broader political crisis that unfolds since 2021, raising concerns among trade unions and civil society actors. The UGTT warns of a potential general strike.

Participants hold placards with slogans as they take part in a rally organized in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 3, 2025, in observance of the 34th International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Observed annually on December 3 since 1992 at the initiative of the United Nations, the day aims to promote the rights of persons with disabilities worldwide. This year's national slogan is ''Promoting a Disability-Inclusive Society: Enhancing Social Progress.'' The day serves as a reminder of the global commitment to ensuring the rights, equality, inclusion, and dignity of persons with disabilities. There is a growing need to create disability-friendly physical infrastructure and environments, such as accessible offices, schools, public vehicles, roads, parks, monasteries, temples, and other public and private buildings, to better address the needs of persons with disabilities. While the Constitution of Nepal guarantees the right of persons with disabilities to live with dignity, self-respect, and equal access to public services and facilities, advocates continue to call for more effective implementation of these provisions in practice.
