95% of kids in Gaza suffer from depression …. yes you read that right, 95%

[d-archive1948-deactivated202303]

Just so you all know, more than 50% of Gaza’s population is under the age of 18

Gaza’s population is 2 million

It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

[fiercefatfeminist]

Now. More. Than. Ever.

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

[protectnevillelongbottom]

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer. 

[inquisitivespirit]

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer: 

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

[meanieyards]

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified 

[hollowedskin]

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

[quadriparesis-deactivated201908]

as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?

[wear-it-like-armour-bastard]

^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally

[soul-angelos-deactivated2023102]

For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.

Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.

Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

As a Christian White Girl, I will be an Ally and protect you, my Muslim sisters.

You deserve the right to wear your Hijab and not having to fear assholes.

I am so tired. I am just really fucking tired. Not in the “I’m so tired of this bullshit” kind of way, in the “I wish I could open up the window on this airplane so the air pressure would crush my throat like an invisible fist, and I could finally sleep in past 7 AM tomorrow” kind of way. There’s 2 modes. There’s: “shaking body, carbonated chest cavity, is the room turning black or am I just strung out on some imaginary caffeinated high?” And there’s: “wow I can’t feel my footsteps land on the ground, everything is moving very slow, my voice is resonating in my own skull and are you SURE my tongue belongs in my mouth?” I’m the kind of out of body you get when you walk into a fluorescent lit gas station bathroom when you’re violently high (or you just woke up from a really long nap in the backseat of a car). So many time zones so many places to see. I’m gonna start writing again. I promise. But every time I touch my pen to paper I have nothing to say. My life used to pour from my fingers tips so quickly I could barely read my own handwriting as it slanted to the right so hard it threatened to turn sideways. But now I have nothing to say. A memoir full of poorly doodled flowers with mismatched petals. I dunno how to sing that though, so I better figure something out soon. I’m gonna start writing again. I promise. I promise. I promise.
