TW: VIOLENCE | SA
During women's history month I urge all of you to speak up for the 48 women raped an hour in the Congo, for the women using unsanitary tent scraps for pads on their menstrual cycles in Gaza, all women facing genocide, sexual/physical violence and inequality.
“Take these biscuits with you to heaven”. A Palestinian father mourning his child who kept asking for biscuits before he was murdered by Israel. This is too depressing.
Deleting this would only reaffirm to muslim men that they can bully and harass muslim women online into submission. No one has made Islam look bad except the vile comments from other muslims.
Your words don’t deserve the privilege of privacy. May you never escape them.
Ok everyone is asking me how we're doing
We are patient.. strong.. keeping ourselves sane with our bond..
But I swear it's too much
The situation is too much
My father's health is withering because of a heart condition
and we are helpless
But we are ok.. physically
Two weeks ago, my uncle’s family had their evacuated home broken into and damaged by soldiers, and 2 days ago they burnt the home down. My uncle was the one person we managed to call after the attack at the school, and he was the one to send help.. we owe him our lives (2/3)
We reached the goal, and I have a bit of news to share..
I’m blown away by the support... I never in my life imagined I would get this response… thank you all for changing our lives
I’ve increased the fundraiser goal, but any donations from this point on won't be for us (1/3)
