#Nomcebo Mkhaliphi

[djuvlipen]

There is a woman called Nomcebo Mkhaliphi. She is a feminist activist fighting to end period stigma in Eswatini and she is now raising funds to continue her work travelling around schools to teach kids about period, distributing pads to girls and school shoes to those who need them. I am linking her GoFundMe here in case anyone wants to donate!

I love how @runwaylooks asked us what radical feminist has done and continues to do to this day, and then immediately deletes the post. 

Anways...

1. Arab radical feminists liberating women across the Middle East (here, here)

2. African feminists bringing exposure to and addressing issues such as FGM and menstrual stigma. Examples include Laetitia Ky, Hibo Wardere, Sylvia Chioma, Nomcebo Mkhaliphi who you can all read more about here, since they were all under attack by trans activists over their activism.

3. Radical feminism rising all across Latin America, addressing issues such as femicide and abortion rights (here, here, here). Speaking of radical feminism in Latin America, you can watch this discussion with Bruna Santiago, the co-editor of Radical Feminism Magazine QG Feminista (a radical feminist magazine in Brazil) here, including other radical / gender-critical feminists. These are all comprised of women who work to bring awareness to women’s sex-based rights, among other feminist topics in Brazil (femicide, abortion, sexual violence).

4. Radical feminists in South Korea developing the 4B (”4 ‘No’s”) movement to liberate women in the country from centering men, and other patriarchal practices, from their lives. You can read more about it here, here, and here. Speaking of feminism in South Korea, it has actually grown more radical feminist as the country descends more into extreme patriarchy. They also address femicide and abortion rights, among many other topics.

5. French radical feminists fighting against violence against women in their country, as well as street violence and harassment (here)

6. Groups like Radical Women that continue to unite and uphold womens’ activism in various regions (here is the link to their website where you can browse around)

And those are just some, I’m sure we can find much more.

Damn, you’re a socialist feminist, that changes everything. Now your 10 years of Girl Scouts must have liberated women all over the globe. Thank you, heroine! 

And yea, I’m 17, I haven’t had the chance to contribute to the radical feminist movement, but I plan to work against obstetric and gynaecological abuse. I have ever since I found out my mother was impacted by it. 

And is this nothing?

I’m sorry you’re so delusional that you think radical feminists don’t work to help women, I’m really sorry, it must be hard being so braindead. Enjoy your cookies though. 

If only radfems used 10% of their insane focus to actually fix systemic issues effecting women instead of bullying transgender ppl, then maybe women in the USA would still have the ability to get an abortion.

But no. Gotta play the smallest violin about how the world is against you and somehow it’s the trans ppl’s fault.

Ending Bullying and Humiliation over Menstruation as Girls and Boys in Conservative Eswatini are Educated about Reproductive Health

MBABANE, Jan 21 (IPS) - When 14-year-old Nomcebo Mkhaliphi first noticed the blood discharged from her vagina, she was shocked. Confused, she turned to her older sisters for advice.

"My sisters told me that they were experiencing the same every month and that they used fabric, toilet paper and newspapers as sanitary wear," recalls the now 45-year-old Mkhaliphi. She had to follow suit and use these materials because she had no money to buy sanitary pads.
