Oh Allah, please bring back our daughter safely.
If you live in Chicago or nearby and have seen her or have any information at all, please contact the police immediately.
Please share this post as much as possible so we can bring our baby home safely.
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
It is our worst nightmare to share that our beautiful 23-year-old daughter, Baria Dunya Muhammad, is missing.
She lives in Chicago, and we have not seen or heard from her since Thursday.
Afrori, a Brighton bookshop and the UK’s largest supplier of books by Black authors, is facing closure. They need to sell 1,000 books by next week. Please support if you can: https://t.co/L96Kw5WW7T

“In the summer I ask for my bed to be placed on the side of the road [...] that I wish one of the people in the cars (passing by) was one of my sons”.
Never forget. Enfal le bîr nakeyn.
While we remember the victims of the Anfal as part of our collective identity, it’s equally important to remember the survivors and the difficulties they faced not only during the genocide but also after it.
Because if these women worked on their own, they were sometimes stigmatized and rumors could spread. There have even been cases in the past of some being killed.
Many of these women shared a strong sense group identity, many ended up living in communities together after their release, they raised their children together and went to work together. (Younger women who got work easier would form groups and help other, older women, get a job).
There are few studies on the Anfal in general but @chomahardi has for example written a book about the women’s experience of Anfal; their lives, survival strategies, sexual abuse, rebuilding of their lives and the difficulties they faced; poverty, exploitation, stigma, and so on.
