Animal rights activists from Act for Farmed Animals stage a peaceful protest outside the headquarters of Bank Mandiri in Central Jakarta, Indonesia, on May 7, 2025. Activists paint their faces to represent six animals commonly used in farming, testing, and entertainment industries, while others hold placards, distribute leaflets, and display a banner reading: ''Banks in Indonesia, please act for animals.'' The protest coincides with the launch of the Banks for Animals 2025 report, which assesses the ethical standards of major Indonesian banks--Bank Mandiri, Bank Negara Indonesia, Bank Central Asia, Bank Syariah, and Bank Rakyat Indonesia--urging the financial sector to adopt stronger animal welfare policies, transparency, protections, and meaningful commitments to end funding for practices such as animal testing, abuse in entertainment, and confinement of farmed animals in cages. The action is part of a coordinated international campaign held simultaneously in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

The banner reads 'Solidarity with Palestinian and Lebanese people'. People gather in Toulouse, France, on March 18, 2024, in support of Gazans after Israel shatters the ceasefire in Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians overnight. On March 18, 2025, Israel launches heavy strikes on the Gaza Strip during the night, killing at least 408 Palestinians, among them 170 children and 80 women. Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, the Gaza Strip is leveled and decimated by Israel: more than 49,000 are killed, and 100,000 are injured. South Africa pleads in the International Justice Court against Israel for not preventing a genocide in Gaza. More than 80 countries side with South Africa in its case. The U.N. estimates that up to 2 million people in the Gaza Strip--or more than 85% of the population--are forced to flee Israel's devastating bombing campaign. Civilians bear the brunt of Israeli killings. Israel demands more towns in Gaza to be evacuated. Israel decides to attack Gaza anew last week as they negotiate with Qatar, Egypt, USA, and Hamas for the phase 2 of the accord of January.
