"We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do"
"I am convinced that most people do not grow up. We find parking spaces and honor our credit cards. We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies and on our faces,
Day 24,
I am worried that @RNPSpokesperson@Rwandapolice@RwandaGender are waiting for us to get tired and stop asking for accountability and change but what we're tired of instead is constant policing of our bodies. We shall be heard because WE MATTER.

Gaza was one of the most well educated populations in the world. You can't tell me the destruction of their education system isn't a deliberate ploy to change this
I don’t know if anyone still cares about what I say, but what is happening here has become a catastrophe in every sense of the word.
Today was the first day of school for students in Gaza City after three years of war. It was supposed to be a day filled with joy, with children carrying their schoolbags, wearing new clothes, and returning to their classrooms. But the reality was completely different.
I saw children without schoolbags, without shoes, without notebooks or pens, and some wearing worn-out clothes. I saw a school that was nothing more than a suffocating, extremely hot tent, without desks or chairs. The children use stones and cardboard boxes from aid supplies to create something to write on.
There are no bathrooms for the children. There is not enough food or water. This is not simply a shortage of school supplies; this is a catastrophe affecting an entire generation.
A child who is supposed to go to school to learn leaves school to stand in line for water, then waits in another line for food. Their lives have become a constant struggle to find water, food, and simply survive.
How can a child learn under these conditions? How can we talk about the future of these children when the most basic necessities for education and life are not available? We are facing an entire generation at risk of being lost.
Every day that passes without real intervention means another part of these children’s future is being lost. This is a catastrophe that cannot be allowed to pass in silence. Write about the children of Gaza, talk about their schools, and share what is happening to them.
Do not let the world become accustomed to seeing children without a childhood.
it’s just crazy to me when public figures are like “it’s sooo complicated, i can’t weigh in” and the average israeli public official’s twitter is like “i will send every palestinian into a slaughterhouse”
🚨BREAKING: Gaza Civil Defense says around 100 civilians remain missing under the rubble of the collapsed building in Gaza City.
It urged the international community to provide the necessary equipment to recover those trapped beneath the rubble.
I apologize if this is harsh but focus on what is happening to us. More people are talking about celebrities than the residential building that collapsed today. 100 people are still missing and trapped under the rubble.
There is a shortage of medical and rescue equipment. The occupation is still restricting entry of lifesaving items. The caravans that were suppose to shelter us never arrived. I swear what is happening is madness.
Ed said “conflict…”
why every genocide denier use the same script. 🙄
THEY ARE ERASING AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATION FOR YEARS… WHAT THE FUCK IS HE EVEN TALKING ABOUT?
@Rwandapolice , @RNPSpokesperson , @RwandaGender it's day 18. Are y'all still thinking I'll drop this? When I don't feel safe in my own country? When women are still being harassed cz of what they're wearing and cz you sat and did nothing about it? Ok!

our lives, we are taught to be vigilant. to stay safe. That is all we do.
but the system refuses to address the problem and instead addresses us. over and over again.
Nyirabayazana araryamye and worse…no amount of covering up from women that guarantees her safety. NONE.
EXACTLY THIS 📌
"women are already vigilant. that is what people are not understanding. we are not moving through the world carefree and suddenly refusing sensible safety advice because we want to make a political point."
It's wild how authorities banked on our silence. When officials normalise policing what we wear, everyone else treats it as a rule and a license to harass us. Without accountability for that rhetoric, we're guaranteed to circle right back to square one, with even higher stakes.
Cameroon is facing a severe femicide crisis, with at least 250 women killed since 2023.
The recent murder of 8 women in just one week has sparked massive outrage and urgent demands for specific laws against gender-based violence.
Muraho a week later & still waiting for that famous statement or maybe I missed it also y’all see how a lil press conference without any clear and official statement ended a human rights/ national issue?🙃
