“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
In Gaza, Israel has destroyed
- churches dating back to the 5th century, mosques to the early 7th century
- every university
- museums
- cemeteries
- an ancient harbour
- libraries
- archives
And people are crying over a painting of the arch-racist Arthur Balfour.
you’re INSANELY privileged to get to sit in the comfort of your own home watching an award show, while there are innocent people being BOMBED in a place they THOUGHT was their safe zone. do NOT ignore rafah or palestine right now. KEEP TALKING ABOUT THEM.
reminder that rafah is the LAST safe place in gaza ‼️ if they get bombed and raided, there’s nowhere left for them to go. ALL 1.6M of them. they can’t cross over to egypt, so they are all trapped in rafah. PLEASE DON’T IGNORE THIS, GAZA NEEDS OUR EYES AND EARS NOW MORE THAN EVER
to all my non muslims!!
thank you all for wishing us a safe ramadan, it does mean a lot, but i do want to make exactly WHY we fast very clear because your moots aren’t the only people to support right now!!
