In November, protesters in #Guatemala angry at a proposed 2021 budget that would have cut spending on health and education while increasing lawmakers’ own stipends, set part of the Congress building on fire and set up a guillotine outside. The bill was “shelved.”

A thread:

Day 1 of #16Days. It is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and today we honour those who have lost their lives to gender-based violence. Every name is one name too many.

I still cannot believe Boris Johnson closed the country down at 9:16pm the night before eid yet is proposing a mix of four households for Christmas four weeks in advance ??? Can you even imagine if this was the other way round the UK would be absolutely FURIOUS

It doesn't matter how focused a desi woman is on her career or education or anything else and how progressive her parents are, there is ALWAYS going to be someone pushing and talking about marriage the minute a woman's in her 20s

On Wednesday 18 November Ugandan Police arrested Presidential candidate @HEBobiwine sparking unrest across the country. See images for a summary. The international community should not ignore this any longer! #FreeBobiWine #UGDecides2021 #StopPoliceBrutalityinUganda

We'd love to hear from South Asian womxn who come from a sports background and/or are currently working within the sector. Are there any recommendations as to who we could get in touch with? Would really appreciate any suggestions!

There’s a kebab van in Bristol called “Jason’s Donervan” so I really trust the judgement of the people there to know what’s good for it.

This is nowhere near done, but I've started a document with donation links + ACLU links by state + pro-bono lawyers + accounts to follow + books and articles to read. I'll keep updating, let me know if you find something to add! https://t.co/mUecvUntXG

[Randa Jarrar @randajarrar]

Arabs: we need to do a lot of work to decolonize our racist fucking minds. Non-Black Arab Americans: we need to LISTEN to Black people and SHOW up for them. Meet with your racist family & remind them police are not to be trusted. Cut off Anyone who used the ع word in your family

So much of the @netflix #EpsteinDocumentary is an example to young girls about how sexual predators operate and choose their victims. And also how the legal system fails womxn over and over again. How powerful people use that power to manipulate and abuse. Difficult watch.
