We are not here to make you like us. Feminism is a disruption in a disgusting order, it is not supposed to be comfortable. It is not supposed to be palatable. Offline we will donate pads, educate girls and teach them how to succeed in this world.

[Chinàzaēkpērē Chukwu @ChuGailx]

When femicide rates reduce in Nigeria, we will shout less. When Twitter men stop saying they will use their daughters for money rituals if they don't cook for them, we will try sweetness. Until misogyny is buried in the deep hell where it belongs, we will fight fire for fire.

Anne Rwigara was symbol of resilience & courage, facing oppression with unwavering strength. Weeks ago, I had the privilege of telling her how her relentless fight for justice after her father's tragic murder by Rwanda’s dictator inspired our family's struggle for justice. #RIP

Hey guys 🤗

I’m organizing a fundraising event for my NGO at the beginning of 2024.

Since a major part of our project has a lot to do with books, we want to create an experience for book lovers.

Apart from a book fair, we play games to bond and auction dates 🤫.

[Justice Srem-Sai @JusticeSremSai]

One of the things that senior lawyers do - particularly when a young lawyer has earned their confidence - is to throw the young lawyer into kind of an ambush in a huge court. They’d, usually, simply, tell the young lawyer to go take an adjournment or to deliver a simple message to the court - it is called ‘limited instruction’. On this limited instruction, the unsuspecting young lawyer gets to the court only to be ambushed by the judges - she’d, often, be ordered by the court to conduct the entire business for the day (after all she’s as licensed as the senior lawyer). Now, the test really is this: an illustrious and diligent young lawyer would discharge herself creditably and, thereby, gain her kind of “independence”. An entitled delusional young lawyer would disgrace her/his senior, but not after s/he has disgraced her/himself very thoroughly. This was what happened today. Today was the last sitting day for the Supreme Court. The Justices sat from morning until after 5 pm - no break (these old women and men are really suffering). Now, to the main point: This young lawyer - Ms Essinam Kporku - is just 2 years at the bar. Her senior threw her into the Supreme Court, in a case which was presided over by the CJ herself. That’s not all, the case is a huge constitutional law case involving the proposed ex-gratia payment to the wives of President Akufo Addo and Vice President Dr Bawumia. Her client wants the payment to be declared unconstitutional. Ms Kporku was not only on top of the details of the arguments in the case, she was so confident in her responses to the legion of questions which flew in in no coordinated order from the Justices. She argued her case with such clarity of thought and speech, and with such grace that the entire Court - from the gallery, through the wells, up to the bench flamed up into spontaneous applause for her 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. The dream of every lawyer, right? She’s earned her repute among her peers. ☺️

You are not fooling anyone Alan. You played a huge part in the 30 years of mess you complain about. A founder of one of the parties. And you served at least 8 years as a cabinet minister. Give us a break!

Maryse Laganière was a shy newlywed with a beautiful smile. was 25 when she was killed, was a budget clerk for the school’s finance department. That’s where she met the “love of her life,” JF Larivée, in 1986.

[amykaufman @amykaufman84]

Maud Haviernick was, first and foremost, an artist. She chose to go back to school at École Polytechnique to fulfil her dream of being an engineer and studying materials engineering.
She was killed giving her final presentation for her metals class, along with her classmate.

Anne-Marie Edward loved skiing — a sport she did at school and with her family.
It was so near to Edward’s heart that she was buried in her school team ski jacket
Her mother told La Presse that Edward would be proud to see her memory being used to end misogyny.

[amykaufman @amykaufman84]

Barbara Daigneault was not someone bound by conventional limits.
When she was just 7 years old, she asked why she could never become pope. She would ultimately follow in her father’s footsteps and study engineering. She loved shrimp omelettes and chocolate cake with whipped cream
