  3. Right up until 1974, women in Belgium weren't considered full independend adults and, unilke in the Arab world/ Muslim countries, were not allowed to open a bank aqccount without their husbands (or legal guardians) authorisation.

  6. Threads of Her Name

    They told us
    history was stone.

    Cold.
    Fixed.
    Carved by careful hands.

    But history was never stone.

    It was breath held behind closed teeth.
    Ink smudged by tired fingers.
    A name hidden in the margin
    because the page belonged to someone else.

    It was women
    writing themselves sideways into the record.

    A spiral in the corner of a notebook.
    A recipe that was really a warning.
    A hymn carrying directions to safety.
    A thread stitched red through grey cloth.
    A footnote refusing to disappear.

    They called us emotional
    when we remembered too much.

    Hysterical
    when we noticed the pattern.

    Difficult
    when we refused to forget ourselves.

    Still, we kept recording.

    On scraps of paper.
    On skin.
    On kitchen walls.
    In archives that smelled of dust and rain.
    In the trembling space between speaking
    and being silenced.

    Because memory is not passive.

    It is resistance.

    And every woman who said
    No, that is not what happened,
    left a door cracked open for the next one.

    The next reader.
    The next witness.
    The next voice brave enough to write her own name
    before someone else erased it.

    Listen carefully.

    You can still hear them.

    In libraries.
    In classrooms.
    In code.
    In songs.
    In the hush before a woman finally decides
    she will not make herself smaller anymore.

    The archive does not sleep.

    It waits.

    And somewhere, even now,
    another hand is drawing the spiral
    in the margin.

    Jh

    From a book I’m writing and will be out in the Autumn.

  7. The 20 million women of Afghanistan are prisoners. They cannot feel sunlight on their faces, they cannot speak, and they do not know if they will ever be free.

    This is all thanks to the Taliban. And these are the men who von der Leyen is inviting for talks on migration. The EP says we regret this invite. But regret is not enough.

    Until the women of Afghanistan can speak and be heard - the Taliban are welcome in The Hague, but not in Brussels.

  12. B'Tselem בצלם

    Since October 2023, women in the Gaza Strip have been living under Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. By mid 2026, Israel had killed more than 72,000 people, 12,500 of them women, including more than 9,000 mothers, leaving 21,193 widows.
    For more than two and a half years, Palestinian women in Gaza have been forced to survive under Israel’s ongoing genocide, while carrying the impossible burden of keeping their families alive.
    As homes, hospitals, water systems and entire communities are destroyed, women are left to care for children, find food and water, protect loved ones, and preserve some sense of dignity amid devastation, displacement and loss.
    In an article for The Guardian, Olfat al-Kurd, a Gaza field researcher for B’Tselem, writes about her working to document the lives, grief and resilience of women enduring Israel’s destruction of Gaza and about our report on the subject.
