"On International Women's Day, 9-year-old reporter Lama Abo Jamous sheds light on the plight of Palestinian women from a Rafah displacement camp. Her reporting emphasizes the contrast between global celebrations of emancipation and the reality faced by these women, who bear unimaginable burdens." from Translating Falasteen, 08/Mar/2024:

It's international women's day. White feminists will speak about the hijab being "oppressive" but will not speak about the IOF abducting Palestinian women, stripping them of their hijab, and denying them the right to wear it.

It's international women's day. White feminists will tell you the importance of making period products free, but will remain silent when Palestinian women and little girls in Gaza have to use leftover fabric from tents because aid is blocked and they don't have pads.

It's international women's day. White feminists will gladly share fake accusations -which have been debunked- about mass rapes against Israeli women, but will completely ignore the sexual violence and rape threats Palestianian hostages have been and are subjected to in Israeli prisons.

It's international women's day. White feminists will scream about women's education and the Taliban -even though they only use it for their Islamophobic agendas, not out of concern- and they will remain silent when we say schools and universities in Gaza have been bombed, and there is an educational crisis.

Stop looking the other way. Stop being silent. Free Palestine.

fuck western/white feminism.

It may be a new year, however, Gaza is continuously experiencing genocide. Right now women and children are the main victims. As you can see it is very do-able to spread the word whilst being on theme of your blog so there is no excuse. The smallest of contributions we can make are:

- To use our platforms to spread awareness about what is being inflicted on Palestinians. Not posting about it does not mean that it is no longer happening.

- To avoid posting about rich mediocre celebrities that have either, shown support for Zionism, spread misinformation or have not uttered a word about what’s happening, simply because they showed up for fashion week or any major event.

- Boycotting businesses has proven to be effective. Many corporations have lost billions because of their blatant support for the genocide in Gaza. We live in a capitalist society, but we also have collective power. Both of which has made boycotting that much easier.

🇩🇰 Denmark’s Prime Minister & her ministers got kicked out from a women’s day event by pro-Palestinian activists who chanted “Genocide is not feminism”.

Mette Frederiksen has been a staunch supporter of Israel. #Denmark supplies vital parts to #Israel’s F-35 warplanes bombing #Gaza.

On October 10, the Danish PM, Mette Frederiksen, was asked by a journalist if she would lay flowers for the civilian Palestinian victims, just as she laid flowers in front of the Zionist occupation embassy in Hellerup.

The Prime Minister answered the question by saying angrily:

"Israel has the right to defend itself, and that will mean that victims will fall. It bears no comparison, and the fact that a Danish journalist asks the question is deeply worrying for me, I would like to say, and a display of ignorance regarding history.”

The Prime Minister said this while the whole world is witnessing how Gaza's schools, hospitals, ambulances, refugee camps and residential areas are being bombed.

Describing the genocide of Gaza's population as "self-defense" is an explicit legitimization of the Zionists' massacres and siege of the Gaza Strip.

This International Women’s Day, remember that women in Gaza are getting infections from being forced to reuse menstrual products. Pregnant women in Gaza are giving birth in horrific conditions and having c-sections without anaesthetic. Mothers are watching their babies die because they can’t breastfeed due to malnutrition. Women are being bombed to death, starved to death, dying of thirst, being shot by snipers, assaulted by soldiers and being robbed of their homes and property.

This International Women’s Day, please remember that Palestine is a feminist issue.

Women have been at the forefront of Palestinian life throughout the region's modern history, serving in just about every aspect of society, from community organisers to political negotiators. Palestinian women are among the most educated in the Arab world with a 94 percent literacy rate and girls outperforming boys in academic testing. In keeping with trends elsewhere in the Arab world, women are well represented in so-called STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths), often surpassing male participation in subjects, such as physics.

"This International Women’s Day we call on all who identify as feminists to engage in the lifelong unlearning of their biases and to be in solidarity with Palestinian women, Sudanese women, Congolese women who are experiencing an ongoing genocide." from The Slow Factory, 08/Mar/2024: caption cont. under images.

In Palestine, more than 9,000 women have been brutally killed by the Israeli Occupation. 63 women killed per day.

In Sudan, 4 million Sudanese women & girls are at risk of sexual violence.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 1 million women have been survivors of sexual violence.

In Turtle Island aka the so called USA, 94% of fatal violence committed again Trans people are committed against Trans women.

This isn’t about the stats, the poverty porn or the constant shock doctrine the West desperately needs in order to be inclusive. This is a call for solidarity and collective action.

Access to feminine hygiene products, bodily autonomy and the access to necessary safe and caring spaces as women are all human rights.

[nunyverse-scribe]

This women’s history month, remember those in Gaza who don’t have feminine hygiene products for their periods. Remember the pregnant mothers who got ran over by IDF tanks. Remember the women who have been killed and displaced, & IDF soldiers humiliate them further by brandishing their undergarments in posts and pictures.

Remember the women in Palestine this Women’s History Month.

The IOF attack kills eight people that were queuing for bread at a sellers stand in front of an UNRWA school shelter in Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp.

Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister says he,

“will not give in to pressure”. 

As tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrate against his government calling for a ceasefire deal and the release of captives held in Gaza.

Due to Netanyahu's reliance on Israeli military raids in Gaza, opposed to prioritising a ceasefire. Hamas' armed wing says this will result in more captives to,

“be returned to their families in coffins”.

At least 40,786 people have been killed and 94,224 wounded in Israel’s genocide on the Palestinian people. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7th.

My sister is among those affected. Before the 7th of October, she was denied treatment by the Israeli military. Her pregnancy is considered high-risk. The doctors in Gaza warned her that during delivery, she, the child, or both might die. When she sought medical treatment outside Gaza, the Israeli military denied her permission to leave, not once but twice, in July and then in August — not in October. Now, she is displaced in Rafah with her two children and husband. She is ill. Her home in Gaza City is completely destroyed. My question is, what could possibly lead these people to deny a pregnant woman treatment or food? What kind of morals or hearts can allow this...?
