Remember, you are so much more than the pain you carry. You are a beacon of hope, a source of inspiration, and a force to be reckoned with.

Stay strong, keep shining, and never forget your worth. You are loved, cherished, and admired.

  As South Africa is celebrating Women’s Day today, President Cyril Ramaphosa officiated the National Women’s Day Commemoration.   With this year’s theme #30YearsOfDemocracy, he made some powerful statements.   But the best statements are the ones that ring true, as they are close to the heart: Men must change their behaviour. Men must change their attitudes. That is why we today we call on all…

"Isang Oda

Para sa Mga Hindi Inaakalang

Biktima Sila ng Sakunang

Dulot ng Makasariling Ideolohiya"

(ika-8 ng Nobyembre, 2021; 7:59 PM)

Simple lang ang panuto

Kapag umuulan, magpayong

o kaya sa pagsulong huwag

muna tatakbo

Magpatila

O kaya'y sabihan ang katabi sa daan

na halika muna't wag

magpaulan

Simple lang ang panuto

Kailangan lang makipagkapwa tao

At kung gipit at nasa laylayan

Tulong doon ay ipangsalo

Magpakita

Na tao tayo't hindi mga ulol na aso

ni hindi rin nga maliliit na bato sa lapag

sipain mo'y gugulong

titigil, at dadaanan lang

Simple lang ang panuto

Na huwag yayakapin ang

kasuklaman na matagal nang pinagpag

ng liwanag para

mawaglit mula sa ating mga

pagkatao

Na nagsasabing

kung uulan ma'y mangarap

na walang malulunod

At kung babaha ma'y

hindi sana sa ating balikat

dumapo

Simple lang ang panuto

Ngunit paano kung

ang panukat nati'y malabo

Baka ang kinagisnang panuto

ay payasong sakim ang nagturo

at sa pag-aakalang

ang kailangan ay magpaulan

nasanay ang hindi

dapat sinanay

Simple lang ang panuto

Pag malakas ang ulan

kung maaari ay huminto

Kaso noong tinanong kita,

makalipas ang hindi

na mabilang na bagyo

"Hindi ko naramdamang

umuulan na pala

nang malakas kanina

Tsaka ko lang naramdaman

ngayong tuyo na ako,"

ang naisagot mo

Simple lang ang panuto

Yakap ang basag na pagkabuo

Bitbit ang katotohanang

sa susunod na uulan

Di baling umuwi tayong

basang-basa ang mga mukha

basta uuwi tayo

magkasama

uuwi tayo.

A little illustration for this International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Let's not remembering it only on November 25th though...

[way2smile-solutions-uk]

We want our boys to be better men, better humans. We are tired of trending #WeWantJustice. We want respect for our daughters, our girlfriends, our wives, our mothers, and our fellow human. We need the violence against women to end. For that, we need you to speak up! We need you to stop being a bystander!

We don't want you to be the voice for the voiceless. Just help them get their own! They are strong enough to take care of themselves.

As a business, let us ensure equal representation for women in our organization, and let's end the intellectual violence against them!

safehalton May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples. This day, also known as Red Dress Day is recognized as part of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Week of Action.

On this day, and during this week, we honour and remember all missing and murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people.

The dresses are empty, to symbolize the missing and murdered persons who should be wearing them.

Indigenous women are 12 times more likely to be murdered or missing than any other women in Canada.

Nine women murdered by violent men in seven weeks. Nine women. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If that doesn’t shock Australia into action, what will?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, 61 women murdered by violent men last year wasn’t apparently enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t have all the answers. I wish I did. I wish I could do something meaningful. I wish I could do something. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What I can do is help combat toxic masculinity from the inside out, one teenage boy at a time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's raise strong girls who will grow into empowered women. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's raise gentle boys who will grow into amazing allies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's drop the victim blaming and the violence excusing. Cancel toxic masculinity. Smash the patriarchy. Believe women. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [thank you to @destroythejoint for the hard work maintaining the register of murdered women. Thank you @thesweetfeminist for the 📸] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #feministAF #canceltoxicmasculinity #smashthepatriarchy #destroythejoint #endVAW https://www.instagram.com/p/B9BOqSDn_RY/?igshid=9cpv0th6mrd5

safehalton Happy Juneteenth everyone! Today we celebrate the day when the last enslaved African Americans were finally freed in Texas on June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This day is a reminder of the long and difficult journey towards freedom and equality for all. It is important to recognize and honor the contributions and sacrifices of those who fought for their rights and the rights of future generations. Let us continue to educate ourselves and others about the history and significance of Juneteenth and work towards a more just and equitable society.
