Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre Coordinator, Shamima Ali, says this rising tide of technology-facilitated abuse is not a new phenomenon, but a dangerous extension of gender-based violence rooted in harmful and persistent societal attitudes.

Enough is enough.
On International Working Women’s Day, we stand with Congolese women against the violence and exploitation they are facing. Silence is complicity. The women of Congo deserve justice, dignity, and freedom!

"Sex buyers have described prostitution as like “renting an organ for 10 minutes”, which the women in prostitution say makes them feel as if they are “toilets”. This language and this experience serves to dehumanises the women" @bindelj on #Substack

If you haven’t heard about what’s been happening in West Papua for over 50+ years, but you’ve been to Indonesia/vacationed in Bali: here’s a glimpse into it. I encourage you to research and learn more. #FreeWestPapua
In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair.
This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities.
Be her voice.

The Palestinian flag is up today at FWCC. A message to Israel's Ambassador to Fiji & the Pacific who is here for the week that Fijians want a #ceasefireNow. They want justice and peace and an end to the Genocide. Shame on @slrabuka and the Fiji Govt.

Thread 1/5: We join the CALL:
1. On all political, customary, community and church leaders in Kanaky-New Caledonia to continue exercising responsibility for restoring calm and peace within their respective
jurisdictions in the territory.
#Kanaky
I stand in solidarity with the Indigenous Kanak people of New Caledonia, who are facing down violent French colonial forces on their homeland. Indigenous resistance is a global fight. From Palestine to Kanaky, to Aboriginal Land, together we fight for justice ✊🏾
