Every 11 minutes, a woman is killed somewhere in the world.

Women must be protected against gender-based violence & this is what the Istanbul Convention does.

🇪🇺 Five EU member states have yet to ratify it: Bulgaria, the Czechia, Hungary, Lithuania & Slovakia.

A green-themed map of Europe showing countries’ status regarding the Istanbul Convention on preventing violence against women. Most countries are shaded teal, indicating they have signed and ratified the convention. Several countries in Central and Eastern Europe—such as Ukraine, Moldova, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Armenia, Latvia, and Lithuania—are shaded pink, indicating they have signed but not ratified. Turkey is shaded orange, indicating it has withdrawn. A legend in the upper left explains the colors, and the title reads: “Which countries have agreed to protect women from violence?”

These 5 EU countries (Lithuania, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria)
are only 1 step away
from better protecting
women by law.

Their governments just
need to ratify & enforce
the Istanbul Convention.

The lives of thousands
of women are in their hands.

🏳️‍⚧️ Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance (#TDOR) & we honour the trans people who lost their lives to violence.

💚Trans rights are under threat in many countries, with the rise of conservative ideologies.

💪We need to stand strong together & fight for each other.

I can't play the new expansion. I'm stuck on character select listening to the epic new theme tune being mesmerized by the little dancing crab in the distance

What is most interesting to me isn't who is going or why, but rather the social and political consequences of normalizing such a concert. As if it's T. Swift. There are people singing Ustaša songs in the heart of Zagreb as we speak.

This was posted this morning by Humans of New York and I think this captures exactly what we are all experiencing right now

“It’s a weird time. I’ve still got to get to work on time, pay my bills, manage chronic illness, all that stuff, while the world in general seems to be falling apart. It can be a challenge to juggle those two things while making sure one of them doesn't completely destroy my mental health. It’s just an odd thing to be like: ‘Oh, all of these atrocities are being committed in Gaza with my tax dollars, but what am I going to eat for dinner?’ Or: ‘Trump just dismantled another check on his power. We’re slowly sliding into fascism, nobody’s stopping him-- but what concert should we go to this weekend?’ The strangest part about the whole thing is that we’ve never been so connected. I could understand if this was eighty years ago; news travelled slowly. But now, in an instant, you get these facts, photos, videos. Verified by credible news, verified by aid organizations—and nobody cares. Well, a lot of people care. But the people who can actually fix things: they don’t care. Instead of standing up for the voiceless, they’d rather lay low, cling to their money or status. It’s hard to be a person who cares right now. Sometimes you just want to melt into your bed or couch and be with your feelings. But I won’t say that I feel hopeless. I’d never say that, because that’s what they want—those people who only care about winning, who don’t care about collateral damage. They want people to feel powerless. And I’m not going to give them that luxury. There are still reasons to be hopeful. Zohran just won the primary. And that’s a sign of change, in New York City at least. Even the people who don’t agree with his politics have to admit: his campaign was built on community. It wasn’t funded by billionaires. This was a campaign of fifty thousand people who volunteered, and canvassed, and made calls. Last week a lot of people who had been feeling powerless realized that they still have some power in this country. Let’s just hope a lot more people are learning from that.”

Adriana Smith’s story MUST be told so America can understand what’s at stake when draconian abortion laws like the one in GA keep a brain dead pregnant woman on life support just so the fetus can be delivered.

What kind of dystopian hellscape has Dobbs created?

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”
