Three years of war, displacement, and forced migration have taken so much from us, even the simplest necessities of life. Yet I refuse to give up on my future. I am now in my second year studying English Translation, holding on to education as my path toward freedom, dignity

While they have you fearing Islam, Christian nationalists are telling women to shut up. They're in Congress writing our laws and attributing this fascism to God. There's no difference between what they're saying and Taliban fascism. Islamic teaching says women are equal partners. The issue isn't religion—it's patriarchy. We have to stand united against this.

Recognition Without Release
Four states have set out to hold Afghanistan to account under CEDAW for the Taliban’s systematic discrimination against women and girls. The initiative now appears stalled, perhaps partly over fears that engaging the Taliban would amount to recognising them and could enable them to take Afghanistan out of the Convention. This post arg

A billionaire #EpsteinClass member has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in Washington to make sure little girls have to have their vulvas examined if they want to play sports. It is not now, nor has it ever been, about protecting women.

"An incarcerated Indigenous woman was shackled to a hospital bed in Queensland while she was in labour last weekend, an advocacy group has said.
The birth happened just days before Labor and the Coalition blocked a bill to ban the “barbaric practice” of shackling incarcerated women during childbirth."

Gendered oppression: divide and rule.
Have you ever wondered why there seems to be so much hostility, or at best indifference, between feminists and trans people?
And then... who benefits from keeping us divided?
I have!!

In Iran, le avvocate rischiano sanzioni professionali per il mancato rispetto dell’hijab. Il procuratore generale Mohammad Movahedi-Azad ha annunciato controlli e possibili procedimenti disciplinari, fino alla revoca dell’abilitazione. Le restrizioni rischiano di estendersi anche alla vita privata delle professioniste, limitando ulteriormente la libertà delle donne.

Penny Wong & Anthony Albanese: "Chain those women up!.. Strip search those kids!.."
What have we come to as a nation under corrupt Labor? 🤦♂️
"Labor and the Coalition have blocked a vote on a bill that would have banned the shackling of incarcerated women during childbirth, with the government saying it was the responsibility of the states and territories.
Independent senator Lidia Thorpe introduced the bills into the Senate, which would prevent shackling and stop children being strip-searched."

How North Macedonia’s Inheritance Tax Policy Penalises Childless Heirs
israel squeezes Gaza further by stealing more and more land & displacing hundreds with its "yellow line" incursions during the fake "ceasefire"
"Mahmoud Harzeen is pitching a tent about 200 metres from the yellow concrete blocks marking Israel’s so-called Yellow Line, preparing for his sixth move.
Each time the line inches closer, the 35-year-old packs up and moves further back, trying to keep his family away from danger. But every move offers only temporary relief.
“Every time they move forward a little, we move back a little,” Harzeen told Al Jazeera.
The Yellow Line divided Gaza’s territory between Israeli and Palestinian control as part of the October 2025 “ceasefire” agreement.
Israeli forces withdrew behind the line, but have continued to move the demarcation deeper into Gaza. They now control about 65 percent of Gaza, according to the United Nations, up from the 53 percent agreed a year ago.
On October 11, Israeli forces moved the yellow concrete blocks dozens of metres westward in Shujayea, in eastern Gaza City. More of the neighbourhood was brought under Israeli military control and Palestinian families were forced to flee again, with Israel’s shifting boundaries further restricting where they can live and move."

Benjamin Nosferatu (the same genocidist who 'banned kites' being flown by Palestinian children because they were just too scary to israelis) is trying to 'hunt down' whistleblowers who exposed israels atrocities in the documentary NAZA..
"The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has ordered the country’s attorney general and the head of the Shin Bet security service to reveal the identities of soldiers and officers interviewed in the investigative documentary NAZA and prosecute them for causing “harm to Israel’s diplomatic and security interests”.
The award-winning documentary, directed by the Oscar-winning film-makers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor and produced by the Guardian, details Israel’s mass killing of civilians in Gaza. The film is in cinemas, including in the UK and the US, and will be shown in more than 50 countries."

Mayhem on Maham | A Horror Story from Sanda
The Dark Knaik narrates the tragic story of 18-year-old Maham, whose body was brought to Gangaram Hospital by her family.
Humanitarian and human rights groups call out Israel’s continued killings and restrictions across the enclave.
"“The ceasefire exists in name only, with Israeli forces continuing to kill and injure Palestinians daily, and restrictions on aid, equipment and rebuilding materials preventing families from recovering,” a joint statement by the NGOs said on Friday."

Israel kills or wounds Palestinians every 90 minutes in Gaza since "ceasefire"
"Israeli attacks have killed or wounded a Palestinian in Gaza every 90 minutes on average since the ceasefire was announced in October last year, the aid group Islamic Relief says.
Islamic Relief, a United Kingdom-based charity, said on Thursday that at least 1,454 Palestinians were killed and more than 5,000 wounded over the year. At least 320 of those killed were children, close to one a day."
