She also runs a lockdown feeding scheme mainly serving women, who line up to get a meal for their family. Here, new words are conveyed, check-ins are conducted and it’s also a way to get women to safety. Since the lockdown began, Peters has been responsible for making sure four women have been moved to a place of safety.
“It’s the women who come and collect food for their families, or would have fed their children at night, so would come to get something for themselves in the morning. This would be our opportunity to take them to shelters,” she says.
Using coded phone messages to reach out for help is not new. In November 2019, an American woman in Ohio called the 911 emergency number to order a pizza; it was her call for help after an attack inside her home.
Since the onset of the lockdown, support groups and NGOs have noted an increase in gender-based violence. Police Minister Bheki Cele announced that in the first five days of the lockdown, between March 27 and March 31, about 2300 complaints had been received by the national gender-violence hotline. Of those, 148 suspects were charged.
“The violence moved inside the home. But it’s so difficult with people having to decide whether to buy data for their cellphone or a loaf of bread. And of course, a mother is going to choose a loaf of bread,” says Peters
Hey hey, for those who don't know, South Korean women and girls are currently suffering from a disgusting misogyny epidemic by the hands of men who use Telegram as a forum to exchange deepfake porn of women and girls in their family, school, university, work, etc. These men also exchange videos of them groping those women and girls. It's a repeat of the Nth Room crime.
There are hundreds of thousands of men in those Telegram chats. Think about it. Hundreds of thousands of men--someone's father, uncle, brother, son; a girl's classmate or a uni student's 'friend'--drugging the women and girls in their life, groping there for plenty of others to see, create deepfake porn or providing pictures of the women and girls they know so that others may create the deepfake porn, and men posting private information about the women and girls in their life to encourage others to sexually assault them.
Think. About. It.
Many Korean feminists have been trying to shed light into this crime. They've specifically been trying to make this known outside of Korea because Korea's rampantly misogynistic and their newspapers won't talk about this new Nth Room unless other, international newspapers report on it.
These Korean feminists are also suffering from harassment on all fronts: from YouTube, the men in the Telegram chats who demand when women decided they should have rights, etc. One of the most vocal feminists, @/dvu84djp on Twitter, has suffered much of this harassment. I urge everyone to check her page for more info on the matter, since I don't live in Korea, don't know Korean, am not Korean and all I can see is a repeat of what she and other K feminists are saying. I also urge everyone to go report this asshole on YouTube, since he's been one of the most vocal in spreading hate against the feminists fighting for basic human rights for their women
Reminder that Uighur Muslims are still being detained in China.
Between 1 and 3 million and the number is growing.
Are being forcibly detained in re-education concentration camps. Where there tortured ( such as sexual abuse and waterboarding), exploited for cheap labour (such as making face masks worn by the public.) Uighur women are mass sterilised and forced to have abortions.
They are being tracked through facial ID, blood and DNA samples with there families abroad pressured to not speak out.
And the justification... Is that it's to stop terrorism and radicalisation. And these camps have been made perfectly legal in China.
This is genocide.
This is ethnic cleansing.
It's disgusting, it's inhumane.
And no one cares to do anything about it, Islamic countries are actually helping them.
🚨🚨THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME‼️
My little niece is two years old and suddenly pimples appeared on her body. Unfortunately, there is no health care, no medical center, and no hospitals. I lost a number of family members in the bombing of our house in Gaza, and I cannot bear to lose more. I am tired of posting a lot without benefit. Our children are exposed to health problems every day. I need ur support. Any amount will make a difference in protecting her

idk man but the idea of cuddling with your partner under a soft blanket on a cold day and having them asleep in your arms while you're quietly playing video games or something just sounds really nice

On the topic of Disney boycotts, Marvel's Captain America 4, titled Captain America: Brave New World (previously titled Captain America: New world order.)
Will be the MCU debut of the superhero, Sabra.
An Israeli superhero, sponsored by the Israeli government.
Sabra aka Ruth Bat-Seraph made her comics debut in 1981 working for what's basically the Israeli secret service.
The comic cover she first appeared in, The Incredible Hulk #256, depicts her blasting the Hulk as a dead Palestinian boy lays in the rubble.
With the caption: Power and Peril in the Promised Land!
The Palestinian boy, called Sahad who was depicted as an illiterate theif was stealing a watermelon from a fruit cart in Tel Aviv.
That Sabra sees as inhuman until the Hulk convinced her otherwise. "It had taken the Hulk to make her see this dead Arab boy as a human being."
Disgusting.
Doesn't even refer to him as Palestinian.
Sabra also shares the same name as the Sabra and Shalita Massacre in Lebanon.
A massacre that many agree Israel holds responsibility for allowing.
And yes, Sabra was created before this atrocity but that doesn't mean they aren't associated with each other years later. Especially with Israel's involvement.
See Israel who are also currently bombing Lebanon.
Marvel has stated they will go with a new appprach for Sabra.
But Marvel is owned by Disney. The same company who donated Israel 2 million dollars...yeah I'm sure you're gonna make her less like an Israeli propaganda machine.
An IDF soilder is not a hero, start there.
