Kumenya ko “ibyomanzi” is the Kiny word of “sluts” broke my heart.
@Rwandapolice how many of us have been held responsible for using #menaretrash yet no one is held accountable for using ijambo “umwanda” (trash) against women?
No double standard is patriarchal power in abuse.
The police is threatening to beat women if they don't go back home to "dress" up. They've decided to use violence to control women's bodies. Harazamo nigiti they say.
Speaking of action points; redirect efforts at @RwandaGender & @RwandaParliamnt to clarify the GBV law under revision especially the decency clause. that loophole confuses law enforcement AND to take into consideration the recommendations submitted by and @Rwandafeminist Forum.
Stop romanticizing women’s struggle with flowers for women's month. Stop wasting your institution money in flowers BUT be silence on sexual abuse happening in your org.
Women need budgets, policies, safety, childcare, equal pay&justice. Real change is funded not decorated.
