On March 31st this year, Pakistan is deporting Afghan refugees en masse. Among them are 60 activists who advocated for the rights of women and children. For them, returning to their homeland is literally a death sentence, because they will be tortured and sentenced to death or imprisonment.

Since the Taliban returned to power, many women's rights activists have been arrested, tortured and sexually abused in prison simply for standing up for their basic rights.

These acts of cruelty are intended to instill fear and silence those who dare to speak out.

In order for Afghan refugees not to be deported, in other words, they must be accepted by other countries. Therefore, our task is to increase public pressure for governments to take action.

❓What needs to be done to help women in Afghanistan?

You are required to spread the news and petition and make sure that as many people as possible talk about it.

One girl divided the help into 2 categories depending on the possibilities. They list the actions you can take.

📝 Category 1:

☑️ sign the petition;

☑️ distribute it among your friends;

☑️ tag all the bloggers you know under it.

📝 Category 2:

☑️ record videos about this petition and news;

☑️ write written appeals to bloggers and bloggers in different social networks;

☑️ write written appeals to the media (any media have contact information, which will include an email for suggestions. Write a text or copy a finished one and send it to them with all the materials);

☑️ write appeals to activists, human rights defenders;

☑️ write articles, make posts on your social networks (even if you have few subscribers - this is still distribution. Thanks to you, a person with connections in the media can find out about the situation).

❗️Distribution in other languages is especially valuable! If you speak foreign languages, please distribute the information in them too!

You are required to distribute, and more serious actions will be taken by activists who have connections, resources, etc.

But understand - until enough people talk about this, activists are almost powerless! Public influence has helped in many stories, so let's do everything to ensure that it helps in this one too!

Women's day coming up can't wait to answer "I'll be happy when you stop killing us" to all men who tell me "happy women's day!!!!"

Flowers are better than bullets

Surely you’ve heard this slogan somewhere. Or we read similar inscriptions on the walls, or maybe even saw one of Banksy’s works - «The Flower Threwer». Today, this phrase is a global anti-war slogan. It belongs to the brave 19-year-old activist Allison Krause. More than 50 years ago, she was killed during a protest by Kent University students against the U.S. military operation in Cambodia.

But who was Allison Krause? A student with an active civic position, one of the best in the course, a graduate of John F. Kennedy High School. She went to the rally «Students for a Democratic Society» and a march against the Vietnam War. After Nixon signed the decree on the military operation in Cambodia and the beginning of the protests, Allison was particularly outraged by the words of Governor James Rhodes at a press conference, who called the protesters «the worst type of people we sheltered in America».

According to the main version of the events of May 4, 1970, Allison started talking to one of the soldiers named Myers, who arrived to disperse the protesters. The military, answering the girl’s question about what he was doing from here, said that he did not want to be cordoned off, but was following the order. Krause tore off a lilac branch and stuck it into the muzzle of Myers’ rifle. Soon the senior officer forced the soldier to take out the flower and threw it away. To this, Allison shouted:

«Flowers are better than bullets!»

How exactly Allison died is unknown. We only know that at first the girl and her boyfriend Barry were away from the protesters, and during the spraying of tear gas they tried to escape from the soldiers to the dormitory. The security guard did not open the door to the group of students. Then the protesters still managed to hide in the building, but soon the U.S. National Guard started shooting - the bullet passed through Allison’s left hand and damaged the internal organs. The girl passed away a few hours later.

The next day, the shooting of unarmed students at the University of Kent was talked about in all the American media, mentioning Allison’s phrase “Flowers are better than bullets”.

Soon these words became the main international anti-war slogan.

A few days after the tragedy, on May 9, more than 100,000 people took rallies against the war in Cambodia in Washington (District of Columbia). Demonstrations were also shown in other universities, not only by students, but also by teachers and professors.

is it true that women are more emotional than men? i say NO

the stereotype of a woman’s tendency to show emotions unnecessarily is extremely common in patriarchal society. this often justifies the insufficient representation of women in leadership positions, believing that rationality and restraint are precisely male qualities, due to which they successfully move up the career ladder. and of course it’s not true.

thus, in 2021, the journal Nature published a study in which 142 men and women participated: for 75 days, scientists observed their emotional state. It turned out that regardless of gender, people experienced different emotions and experienced their changes. the study also did not reveal a connection with hormones, to which opponents of feminism often attribute “female emotionality”.

Here's a roundup of some good news from around the world this week!

🩷A key amendment to Poland's Criminal Code on rape has come into force. Previously, the crime included threats and deception, but now the definition of rape will include a key element - lack of consent.

🫶🏻Schoolgirls in Kazakhstan have created an app for sex education for girls, Qyzbolsyn. The app aims to combat the lack of knowledge about sexual issues, including safety and relationships. The project has already attracted investments of four thousand dollars.

❤️Women achieved parity with men for the first time in the highest-grossing films of 2024. 42 of the 100 highest-grossing films last year focused on female characters, which is the same percentage of films in which men played leading roles.

Women’s rights aren’t enough. I want women’s revenge. I want every man to feel the weight of every injustice they’ve ever put on us. I want them to wake up every day knowing the world is no longer built for them. That’s the only ‘equality’ I care about.

year. exactly one year has passed since the murder of alexei navalny.

putin killed a man, but he didn't kill faith, he didn't kill hope. he didn't win.

all that is needed for the triumph of evil is the inaction of good people. no need, we can't give up. one day, in russia there will be what never was. and there will be nothing that was.

in loving memory of alexei navalny. russia will be free.

Love is?

On Valentine's Day, it is customary to remember the love stories of famous couples. However, often in the shadow of these great novels remained women, whose talents were attributed to their husbands, and colleagues appropriated their discoveries.

Zelda Fitzgerald

Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre met during the First World War. It seemed that their love story was full of romance, and for contemporaries they became a "golden couple". However, the writer constantly checked Zelda's notes and diary, as if "drawing inspiration" for the plots of his novels. It was the woman who came up with many of the ideas and plans, but all the glory went to Fitzgerald. Once Zelda admitted that she recognized in her husband's book a barely edited excerpt from her diary, which mysteriously disappeared after the wedding

Francis, in turn, also tormented Zelda with jealousy, although he himself brought home mistresses and drove his wife to nervous breakdowns, making her look crazy.

Sofya Andreyevna Tolstaya

"My male friends said that Lev Nikolayevich was happy with his wife. <...> And what did I get from being famous? Work, work and work!..", - wrote Sofya Andreyevna in her diaries.

Although Tolstoy loved to talk about the fact that "a woman has one goal - sexual love", his wife not only rewrote drafts of her husband's main works several times, but also came up with precise female characters for his novels, corrected texts, concluded contracts with the publishing house and the owners of the printing house, checked estimates and even checked the density of paper sheets.

At the same time, Tolstoy systematically cheated on Sophia; accused his wife of greed; insisted that she breastfeed her first child, despite a difficult birth and inflammation of the mammary glands; withdrew from household chores.

Sophia Andreyevna never realized her creative talent, devoting herself entirely to her husband, home, work, and raising 13 children.

Eleanor of Aquitaine

Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204) was the Duchess of Aquitaine and Countess of Poitiers, the wife of the French king Louis VII, and then the wife of the English king Henry II, she became the mother of the English kings Richard I the Lionheart and John Lackland.

She played a significant role in governing the state, was the most influential woman of her time, and was famous for her wisdom. But at that time, a woman could not independently govern the state, so the political role of Eleanor of Aquitaine is always spoken of with the addition of "under her husbands" and "under her sons."

For example, during her marriage to Henry || she actively participated in governing the state, acting as regent in England when Henry was in France, and vice versa.

After Henry's death || in 1189, their son Richard I the Lionheart ascended the throne. Since Richard spent most of his reign on the Crusades, Eleanor acted as regent of England until his return.

Judith Leyster

Judith Leyster is one of the outstanding artists of the 17th century. However, her works were long passed off as the works of another artist - Frans Hals.

This was only revealed in 1893, when the monogram of Judith Leyster JL* was found under a forged signature of Hals on the painting "The Feasting Couple" in the Louvre. At first, this discovery was regarded as a "fake Hals", then several more paintings with the monogram JL* were discovered - and for a long time art critics called the woman an imitator or follower of Hals, criticizing her paintings for their "weak feminine hand". It is unclear what kind of relationship there was between Judith Leyster and Frans Hals: there are suggestions that he or his brother was Judith's teacher; others believe that they could have simply been colleagues and friends. Leyster's works received recognition only at the end of the 20th century: they became valuable exhibits in the Louvre, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the National Gallery in London, etc. In December 2018, the artist’s painting “The Merry Trio” was sold in London for $2.3 million.
