International Women's Day - Blog Posts
On this year women's day, all we could think about are Palestinian women in Gaza.
Nearly 9,000 women have been killed in Israeli attacks in five months. Another 2,100 are missing and presumed dead, while 23,000 have been wounded and over half a million are displaced.
“Palestinian women, especially in the Gaza Strip, are exposed to the worst humanitarian catastrophe,” Ashraf al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesperson, said on Thursday.
Dozens of women and girls have also been detained and face harsh conditions in Israeli custody, including sexual abuse.
Women in Gaza also struggle to find menstruation products and access the necessary pregnancy and post-natal care. The consequences on reproductive health, including a rise in stress-induced miscarriages, stillbirths and premature births, have increased significantly.
Women in labour are undergoing caesarean procedures without anaesthetics, and a shortage of post-operative care such as medication, antibiotics and pain relief further exacerbates the situation.
According to the health ministry, 5,000 women give birth monthly in Gaza under “harsh, unsafe and unhealthy” conditions caused by Israeli bombing and displacement.
There are 60,000 pregnant women in Gaza suffering from “malnutrition, dehydration and lack of medical care.
There have also been repeated cases of Israeli soldiers mocking Palestinian women by posting videos and pictures of themselves rummaging through personal belongings in Gaza homes, making derogatory comments and posing with women’s underwear.
Happy International Women's Day. Happy Women's Solidarity Day in the fight for women's rights and emancipation.

Happy International Women’s Day!
As we come together to celebrate the achievements of women throughout history, it’s important to remember the ongoing struggles women across the world are facing.
Today, let’s keep a special focus on all of our sisters of color, queer sisters, trans sisters, Palestinian sisters, working class sisters, disabled sisters, and sisters struggling with reproductive Justice.
We must not forget where we come from, and we must remember who we are working to protect now. I hope you all have a wonderful day - and pass along some kind words to the wonderful women in your lives!
"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.
Fuck yeah International Women’s Day

I know it’s a bit late, but happy International Women’s Day to all the Women of Supernatural!! You all deserved so much better.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the lovely ladies of Supernatural
Y’all deserved better
I love this blogs message. They are alway posting such amazing stuff. Hell yes to what they are all about!
We are honored to say that EVERY man we work with lives to embrace you ladies honorably. From my years of leading men in “Seductive Integrity” I’ve gotten to see how deep and profound the love for women is. So deep, that in many men, it turns to pain and resentment (the common man). To any ladies reading this, we would like to remind you that even the men that shame you tend to have a deep longing for you. Unfortunately jealousy has overtaken their minds and hearts. This does not mean you should give those men love. There a plenty of men out there that long to embrace you honorably EVERY day of the year and not just on international women’s day. We love you, and thank you, Vimbasi Warriors

This is a small art piece I did in honor of international women's day. I really wanted to draw attention to the amazing diversity of women while also promoting our unity. Might be pretentious but hey whatever.
The Woman You Wanted Me to Be.
When I think back now,
I see how you abused me,
without pulling my hair,
without slamming my head against walls,
without forcing yourself on me.
But you broke me all the same.
You compared me to other women,
made me wear your favorite color
red when I hated it most
and
ordered me to paint my lips
for every walk i had
beside you.
Now that I remember,
I never lived freely with you.
It was exhausting,
it was toxic Fred.
Happy Women's Day!
Happy Womens Day!!!
