She was 26 years old. An investigative journalist reporting on Colombia's armed conflict - the stories nobody else would touch. Paramilitaries intercepted her at the prison gate. What followed lasted hours. When it was over they left her on a road outside Bogotá.
She reported it. The case was stalled for over a decade. She kept reporting. Was kidnapped again in 2003. Held for five days. Released. Kept reporting. In 2011 she took Colombia to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. On October 18 2021 the court ruled. The Colombian state was responsible. The first time in history a government had been found responsible for using violence to silence a woman journalist.
She launched #NoEsHoraDeCallar - It's Not Time to Stay Silent. Hundreds of thousands of women across Latin America told their stories because she told hers first. The ruling became a legal weapon for women journalists across the continent. The UN named her global ambassador against s3xual violence in conflict. Her name is Jineth Bedoya Lima.
Why is no one talking about them? Oh, I forgot.
They're Palestinians. If they had been Ukrainians, they would have been mentioned during every FIFA World Cup 2026 match.

I remember how everyone here was devastated for punch-a baby monkey with some toy thingy..
The kids being orphaned in a genocide does not seem to move people the same way here.
So Ola attended the BET Awards, shot a commercial for Hyundai (I believe it was them), & was part of the opening skit for the show. All while wearing three fashion designer partners including one partnered with her own luxury purse brand. Yeah, it’s layers to this. It Girl tings.
We are NOT talking enough about the fact that Donald trump is a child-raping pedophile. We simply are NOT. It is just INSANE to me that we are expected to just go about our business when everyone knows that the president* of the United States raped children.
Men entering the Love Island space and demanding it cater to them is indicative of an issue in society in general, which is that men have the inability to tolerate a space where they are not the main characters, not catered to nor are the core demographic.
Sorry but to have 0 remorse and empathy for a woman sobbing after being humiliated for choosing YOU is bottom of the barrel. And then to laugh at her too? lol this cyberbullying is abt to be generational all shade.
