not even all the Palestinians killed since the Nakba but just in the last 18 months. in tiny font and in 2 columns. the scale of this genocide is unfathomable.
Eventually the Taliban will have all Afghan women locked inside their houses with all their windows boarded up, forbidden to even look outside, & still the international community will say nothing.
What they allow to be done to our Afghan sisters, they would allow to be done to us.
This is a dark time for all women & girls.
Two years ago today, Afghan women were banned from universities.
The Taliban promised they could study "honorable" fields like medicine—then banned that too this month.
Afghanistan is now the only place on Earth where women are banned from every field of study.
Absolutely love that people are kicking off that Keir Starmer’s gone in a box at Arsenal - as if the Tories weren’t shagging each other at Christmas parties whilst our Grandparents died alone in hospitals during Covid.
There are mothers in UK prisons for shoplifting nappies or not being able to pay their TV licence, while a rich male celebrity walks away with a slap on the wrist for watching little children being raped. We cannot allow this to be our reality any longer. Something MUST change.
When talking about femicide, I think it's important to call these men what they are... men.
They're not 'monsters', 'animals,' or 'devils,' they are human beings.
They are husbands, boyfriends, fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, friends.
They are men.
Men raping their wives/partners during sleep is *COMMON*
It is not the exception. It is the norm. It is something I heard every day whilst supporting domestic abuse victims.
Women are often gaslit into believing it isn’t rape.
IT IS RAPE.
Nobody's saying ALL MEN. Nobody's saying MOST MEN. But when a woman is raped by 90 men within driving distance from her, we are saying ENOUGH MEN.
If you're a man still commenting "not all men" on women's posts, you are absolutely part of the problem.
In a normal world, today 630,000 students from Gaza are supposed to start their educational year, but in the genocide era, today they lost the second educational year, and instead they are waiting in the water, food and aid distribution lines.
Gaza, September 2024.
80 men, at least, in a town of only 6000.
And the horror only multiplies - some of these men are nurses and paramedics, with access to unconscious women.
Their professional histories need to be investigated. Every woman in their orbit is a potential victim.
