[Women Posting W's @womenpostingws]

Gisele Pelicot, whose husband drugged her and allowed different men to rape her over the course of 10 years, is holding a public trial and allowing her name to be published, even though she didn't have to.

Her husband wished for a private trial, which would have allowed their names to remain anonymous, but she wanted to shame the men who have raped her and hold them responsible publicly for what they've done.

She told the court that she hopes her testimony might help spare other women from similar ordeals. She said she pushed for the trial in open court in solidarity with other women who go unrecognized as victims of sexual crimes.

Her strength is so unbelievable.

Ryan Gosling reacts to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig being snubbed by the #Oscars:

“There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film… To say that I'm disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”

Niagara Falls, Rockefeller Center, Paris City Hall, Colosseum, European Parliament, Sydney Opera and 60+ locations — plunged into darkness as Ukraine does now. Meanwhile UNITED24 #LightUpUkraine initiative raised $2 mln to support 🇺🇦 hospitals with generators. Solidarity & hope.

Any country should be lucky to have such brave, wonderful girls as citizens.

It's surreal that Ukraine, the country that has been suffering from Russian bombing, murders, rapes, gets blamed by some for a possible global food crisis because 'it refuses to cede territory to Russia'. How about blaming Russia for starting the war and blocking Ukrainian ports?

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde

Earlier today, @CAFreeland, @MelanieJoly, and I arrived in Ukraine. We met with President @ZelenskyyUa and visited Irpin. We saw the destruction caused by Putin, but we also saw the strength & courage of Ukrainians – and as they continue to fight, we’ll continue to support them.

This is how #Azovstal sounds.

This is how an 11 year old boy sees the world after having been raped by #Russia soldier in front of his mother. I find it hard to read reports like this, even harder to tweet about them, and absolutely impossible to remain silent. The world must know the truth

BREAKING: Britain urges the West to supply warplanes to Ukraine

[Oleksandra Matviichuk @avalaina]

The whole day I can't find the words to describe my feeling. Russian troops are dropping heavy bombs on the Azovstal plant, where also civilians and the wounded are hiding. For weeks they are without sunshine, they drink technical water, soothe their children and hope to survive

⚡️Ukraine’s UN envoy: Half a million Ukrainians deported to Russia.

Woke up to a video of a Mariupol defender begging the world to get them and civilians out, because they are outnumbered and have days, if not hours left to live. There are more than 500 wounded soldiers and over 1000 civilians sheltering there at Azovstal
