"If current trends continue, more than 342 million women and girls could be living extreme poverty by 2030. To ensure women’s needs and priorities are considered, governments must prioritize gender-responsive financing and increase public spending on essential services and social protection.

Policymakers must also value, recognize, and account for the vital contribution women make to economies worldwide through paid and unpaid care work. Women spend around three times more time on unpaid care work than men and if these activities were assigned a monetary value they would account for more than 40 per cent of GDP."

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.

There is mass systematic sexual violence being committed against Ugyhur women in these concentration camps as a 'torture tactic'-I have read horrifying reports and details about their many experiences -being violated over and over again and it's just horrifying -these accounts are something I will never forget reading about because it is truly despicable what has been done to them. And the fact that the Chinese government STILL refuses to acknowledge what they have done -and deny these 'allegations,' I hope more people learn about what has been happening in these camps where a genocide is occurring against Uyghur people.

Here are some more links to some articles for folks to look into this and with some more information about what has been happening:

Leila Khaled is a prominent figure in the history of Palestinian resistance, renowned for her role as a freedom fighter and symbol of resistance. She came to public attention for her role in the hijackings of TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and one of the four simultaneous Dawson's Field hijackings in 1970. These events marked her as a key member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Khaled's actions propelled her to international fame, making her the iconic face of the Palestinian struggle.

In this clip from an episode of 'This Week' from Thames TV first broadcast on 13 November 1969, Leila Khaled discusses the future of the Palestinian resistance and her outlook for victory.

The bloodbath has begun, a huge part of protesters are teenagers and people in their early 20s, the anti riot forces has official order to shoot protesters now, the rate of body counts are peaking, There has been a couple of victories for people these past hours but there also has been a lot of causalities, the internet connection is lost in most cities, we're afraid but it looks like no one's backing down. We don't need USA or UN to help us. I've never been more proud of my people.

Women in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan are facing significant challenges in their fight for survival and equality, yet some self-identified feminists, known as TERFs, do not acknowledge or support their struggle and revolution.

"women in sudan have to look up ways to prevent pregnancy by rape because of the RSF raping women......are we HEARING THIS" "please keep sudan in your prayers too their situation is terrifying and they need all the help and awareness" [source: @/ BISBAAS_ on X. 12/18/23.]

This has been going on for a very long time in Sudan. For those of you who were not aware, please do your research and stay informed. Sudanese women and young girls -have been disproportionately targeted and sexually violated and assaulted by militias. This is by far NOT an extensive reference list, but this is a start.
