7 April

30 years ago - in 1994 - the Rwandan genocide began.
And close to a million people were killed.
6 months ago the Palestinian genocide began.
And close to 50,000 people have been killed - more every day.

How many more people have to die until the world says STOP?

Thinking of #sexualviolence , of #survivors , and of the impossible quest for #justice . Linking all this to #Palestine and to #rape of #women at the hands of #Israeli forces.
Where is the outrage?!
Where is the justice?!

“I often say, “start where you stand.’ Take whatever space you are on and make it feminist.

You can do something extraordinary from where you sit.”
-Lina AbiRafeh, speaker & author

Also pictured are Fatima Alasrar & Ukrainian poet Victoria Amelina 🇺🇦 who was murdered by a Russian bomb…

'The world is full of atrocities. Peace is scarce... I want to do both — remain steadfast in my focus on Palestine and also remain concerned about other places around the world. My heart is big enough to exist in multiple spaces at once.' Lina AbiRafeh

What's 'happy' about today while my people are dying? #InternationalWomensDay is meaningless unless it's about ALL #women . #Palestine

As an Arab-American woman, I'm surprised that our identities are not fully recognized or celebrated. And our contributions are unknown. Arab-American women deserve to be recognized.

And we must know their names.

Most of the (feminist, activist, rights-promoting) world has been disturbingly quiet on the “…egregious human rights violations to which Palestinian women and girls continue to be subjected in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.”

Baffled by the collision of so many competing 'newsworthy' events - mostly the juxtaposition of #Barbie and #Palestine . So here goes... Brown Barbie and #Genocide … have we had ‘ #Kenough ’ yet? link.medium.com/kxcxOGV0MGb

Today on @BBCnews commenting on the @cij_icj ruling.

Israel is now officially on trial for #genocide . That means all third parties that have offered material support for this genocide, including the UK and US, are on trial for complicity. Israel is not defending itself. It is…

A historic day no matter where you stand.

As the #ICJ reads out Israeli officials' own words for the world to hear, the narrative of the State of Israel has forever been transformed.

Lina AbiRafeh | Lina AbiRafeh to Muwatin:
we cannot afford a collective shrug and blanket excuses. “It’s their culture,” they say. No, it isn’t. Any country can be an Afghanistan. All around the world, women are still fighting for their rights – for choice, voice, and freedom –…
