it ultimately boils down to this
people don’t believe women
in any capacity
whether it’s a woman telling a story of abuse or sexual violence
a woman saying they cannot handle being forced to carry a child they don’t want
or a woman in a medical emergency
women are not believed and this is a failure of society
not women
When FGM survivors speak, communities listen. They have lived through the practice & understand its impact firsthand. Their voices are vital in helping communities confront FGM and build a future where no girl endures what they did. We're engaging survivors in Kajiado to #EndFGM
It could be any of us. A body on the news. A sister, daughter, mother. A body on the news. Just another body to add to the countless other bodies on the news. These women’s lives mattered!
The women were not leaving.
Dr. @DenisMukwege had repaired their physical injuries at @PanziFoundation@PanziUSA Hospital, but they were still carrying trauma, rejection and lives they could not simply return to.

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has launched Africa's largest ever share sale, offering a stake in his oil refinery to the general public in a deal that could raise as much as $2.1bn (£1.6bn). https://t.co/CukAt2rfFR
This in itself is feminism but you’d argue that it isn’t.
In this case, he’s simply saying that male and female children are equal and it’s okay to have daughters instead of perpetually punishing women with pregnancies in the name of seeking a male child.
“It’s not my priority to have a male child” — Billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote.
He added, “You might pray for a son, and that son will be the one to bring the family down. God controls everything, and if God doesn’t give you something, don’t push it. And I don’t think a son would have done better than the three daughters I have.”
refuse to accept that you're just here to fill up space in a room. carry an untouchable conviction that you are meant for the absolute ceiling. then wake up every single morning and earn it through disgusting volume. force the physical world to bend to the vision.
"أعتقد أن العديد من النساء يقاومن النسوية؛ لأن الإدراك الكامل بمدى كراهية النساء(Misogyny)، التي تتغلغل في الثقافة والمجتمع وكافة العلاقات الشخصية، سيكون مؤلمًا جدًا."
