hey so filming people without their consent is weird. you know that right? filming people you don't know and they aren't aware of what you're doing is creepy. posting strangers online is fucking weird. we're too comfortable with doing it now for shits and giggles, chasing some sort of viral hit instead of reckoning with the fact that you posted someone who did not consent to their body and face being publically used.
we're being pushed these Meta Glasses as if mass surveillance of strangers is fun and normal! it's weird!!! there are already reports that people are using these to film women without them knowing and sharing it to communities who get off on this shit. who else knows who people are filming. these glasses with cameras are not obvious and that is dangerous.
yeah gotta be honest every time i think about how the dome of the rock was literally built on top of the holiest site to judaism and that jews are actually literally banned from going there i wonder how the jewish people haven’t set the world on fire with justifiable rage
and not only that but the people whose religious structure now sits on top of the temple mount have historically fear mongered about jews supposedly plotting to take over the site and used these misinformation campaigns to justify violence against jews — the hebron massacre for example — and yet the jewish community is expected to not be pissed about any of this
also i should be used to this by now but i think it’s wild how every fucking time i make a post like this validating jewish pain i IMMEDIATELY lose followers. some of y’all just plain disgust me.
Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.
Also, what prompted the Second Intifada (on paper), was that a Jewish politician went to visit the Temple Mount after the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf illegally excavated and dumped over 10 dump-trucks' worth of priceless artifacts within the Temple Mount.
And they slaughtered thousands of our civilians for it.
“A new sense may actually be dawning that only a mass movement against Israeli apartheid (similar to South Africa’s) will work.”
Fuck this article, but the headline spot on.
A Jewish man merely visiting the holiest place in the entire Jewish religion, that Jews aren't allowed to go near to "respect" the religion that built over it, and that alone prompted slaughtering thousands of our civilians.
20 years after the fact, what attacks did Israel face?
And people try to, "Well... both sides" it.
"Wellllll, a Jewish politician visiting the Al-Aqsa Mosque made Muslims scared that they'd make changes to it, so you can understand why--"
a) Like when they "made changes" to our holiest site in the world by destroying and dumping tens of tonnes of our holiest artifacts??
b) A Jew visiting a Mosque shouldn't prompt slaughtering thousands of Jews.
I shouldn't have to say that.
And don't, "Well, apartheid--" me:
This was just after the Camp David Summit.
Just after the Israeli government agreed to all of Yassir Araf's demands for Palestinian statehood and then some: All of Gaza, 96% of the West Bank, East Jerusalem as the capitol, plus full monetary reparations for those displaced in 1948 War that they started.
And Arafat responded by not just rejecting statehood, but his Waqf by vandalizing and destroying ten dump-trucks worth of the holiest Jewish artifacts from the holiest Jewish place in the world.
And Jews were (and are) expected to be completely fine with it.
"They destroyed literally tonnes of our holiest artifacts, but we visited their mosque, so it's really all the same."
"They stabbed, shot, and blew up thousands of our civilians across a bloody summer, but one of our guys visited their mosque, so tit-for-tat."
Fuck that.
-
If you disagree with me about any of this, that's fine.
I don't care.
I just wanted to draw attention to that one extra detail.
It's also important to point out that this act of vandalism destroyed historical evidence of our history in Israel.
See, the Waqf's illegal excavation of the Temple Mount has a part two: The Temple Mount Sifting Project. We know where all the rubble was dumped, and this organization, with the help of hundreds of thousands of volunteers, has spent decades sifting through it for all the priceless archeological treasures.
But one of the most important elements of an archeological find, perhaps the most important element, is the context. Not only where it was found, but how deep. What was above it? What was it above?
And all of that context was permanently, irrevocably destroyed. If a 3000 year old shard is found, we have to ask: has it been there for three thousand years? Or could it have spent two thousand years elsewhere before being moved?
If the Temple Mount hadn't been desecrated, we'd find that shard in a layer of debris that would prove how long it had been there. But as is, we can't be totally certain. We can't prove it.
I've volunteered with the sifting project twice. The first time, I found a piece of Herodian tile--that is, the specific type of tile that he used in all his major building projects, which we also see at Masada.
I held in my hands corroboration of the contemporary account of Herod renovating the Temple and adding the retaining walls and plaza that are still standing today, the structure the Dome of the Rock was built on.
But that evidence, and every other piece of evidence the project finds, has, and always will have, an asterisk.
A bit of room for doubt that will always be there, because the religious authority descended from the conquerors of the land deliberately destroyed the evidence of the cultural history that predated their presence.
And yet, somehow, we are the real imperialist colonizers, and our presence is the real desecration.
The destruction of the context is huge here, I'm just a Pagan archaeologist, but the loss of all that information is devastating for the history of the Jewish people. Only roughly 1% of all material culture survives into the archaeological record. Any destruction of that is criminal and, when practiced at scale evidence of cultural erasure, a hallmark of genocide.
When you factor in the fact that Jews are so so few, the amount of material culture within the archaeological is infinitesimally more finite, especially when compared to say the Roman Empire or the Arab Conquest. The scale and depth of just this incident of Temple Mount looting (note the Jordanian government also did significant damage during their occupation of the West Bank, this is not an isolated incident) is unimaginable.
The deliberate destruction of cultural heritage is an atrocity in itself and should be recognized as such.
It wasn’t long after Hamas carried out its attack on Israel in Oct 7, 2023, that Taryn Thomas found herself swept up in the chorus of pro-Palestine activists mobilising against the Jewish state.
Even before Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza following the Oct 7 massacre,“I was scrolling through social media, and I only saw support for Palestine,” she recalls. “People I know, whether it was activists or people I look up to, were already posting their thoughts.”
Then aged 19 and studying biomedical science at the elite Stanford University in northern California, Thomas, an African American, was first introduced to the anti-Israel movement at Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, where Palestinian flags were flown by some activists. “I never really understood why, but we were told that in order for us to be free, Palestine has to be free,” she says.
She subsequently helped lead large protests against Israel and, within two weeks of Oct 7 2023, had joined an encampment of activists on campus protesting against Israel’s invasion of Gaza. Like many others, she donned a keffiyeh, the headscarf worn to demonstrate solidarity with Palestinians. “I really loved it because of the sense of belonging and the sense of purpose,” she says of the encampment. “It was like an instant community.”
Besides fellow students, Thomas was encouraged by “faculty members like history professors” who “validated the movement”. “It seemed like everyone was a lot more educated than me and very certain and sure of themselves that this is a genocide,” says Thomas, who is now 21. “The only safe position was the more radical one in the encampment.”
‘I was confused by what our mission was’
Thomas grew up in Riverside County, one of the few Republican counties in the otherwise “very liberal California”. That, together with racist abuse at school, influenced her political outlook. “I thought going further to the Left would be the solution to the extremism I was seeing from the Right,” she says.
Huge demonstrations took place at universities across the US in the months that followed Oct 7, with protesters confronting the educational institutions with their demands – including to divest from Israel and cut ties with counterpart Israeli institutions.
While the movement was largely peaceful, some demonstrations turned violent and led to clashes with police. “One of our protests got out of hand, and that kind of made me take a step back,” says Thomas.
This was in June 2024, when several militant students broke into the office of Stanford’s president, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage. “They spray-painted disgusting things, such as ‘Pigs taste best when dead’, ‘Death to America’, ‘Death to Israel’, and ‘Kill cops’,” Thomas recalls.
“I was confused by what our mission was. At what point did the pro-Palestine movement turn into this anti-Israel, anti-America movement? We completely lost sight of the victims we were claiming to be supporting and fighting for.”
Yet those behind the vandalism “doubled down”, she says, and justified their actions, “even though Jewish students said they felt unsafe”. She explains: “They felt like they couldn’t go to their classes, they were getting harassed and doxxed [having personal information published online] and things like that. Essentially, we completely lost our minds.”
A drastic change of heart
Then, in October 2024, Thomas was one of many students who received an open invitation to the Nova Music Festival Exhibition in Los Angeles. Recently opened in London, the exhibition aims to recreate the festival site where 413 people were murdered by Hamas, and many more were injured or taken hostage.
Nova exhibition
“Initially, I laughed, thinking, ‘What’s this propaganda?’” Something piqued her interest, however, so she decided to go. “I’d heard about the festival and was curious, but I’d only really heard the reasoning, ‘Well, why would you have a festival next to a contested border? Essentially, they were asking for it.’
“I was hoping it was going to reaffirm my position, that I would find Zionist lies and whatever. I went with a very closed mind.” Three hours later, Thomas emerged feeling “so lost”.
“I experienced a lot of cognitive dissonance – what I was seeing versus what I’d been told. It was like I arrived a year too late to a funeral. I had so many questions, but I really had no one I could talk to about this. All of my friends were from the encampment. I’d never met an Israeli or talked to them about their experiences – I was fluent in the state’s sins, but I was illiterate in its people.”
Seeing pictures and footage of the young festival-goers hit home for Thomas. “They were kids my age, just dancing, and then fleeing for their lives the next moment. I could see myself in them. I could have been sending a last ‘I love you’ message to my mum. I felt so much empathy and sadness.”
One element in particular changed everything – an audio clip of a jubilant Hamas fighter phoning his father to let him know he’d killed 10 Jews. “My heart sank because these [were meant to be] our martyrs. [This was] the resistance we were claiming we wanted. When we called for any means necessary, I didn’t realise that’s what it meant.”
Months later, Thomas was invited on a trip to Israel organised by a group combatting anti-Semitism on campus. “I knew if I was going to continue to speak on this, I needed to see it for myself,” she says.
During the 10-day trip last March, she met with Israelis, Ethiopian Jews, Palestinians, Druze and Bedouin. “I was shocked at how much diversity I saw – I didn’t even know Israel had black people,” she said.
On the fourth day, the group had to take cover during a missile attack. “Our guide told us to get on the ground, and I put my hands over my neck and prayed. “I thought about the irony of how I’d called for the divestment of the very system I was praying for,” she says. “It [the missile] didn’t care about my politics or what I posted or any of that. I was a target, a body on the ground, and I felt utterly useless.”
Fortunately the missile was intercepted and the trip continued, but the experience left Thomas shaken. She says it made her realise “how cushy and comfortable a life” she had in America, and that she’d not realised the “real consequences” of what she’d been calling for.
‘It felt like being stoned publicly’
Back home, she posted a picture of her trip online – a decision that cost her dearly. “My best friend of three years asked, ‘Is this in Israel?’ I said, ‘Yeah, do you want to talk about it?’ She immediately blocked me. I hadn’t even expressed anything. I literally said I went. Period.”
Her post opened the floodgates. “I lost every single friend”, while her classmates “posted really disgusting things”, including labelling her a “genocidal apologist”. Thomas says she was doxxed, and received death threats and racist abuse – and that her family was also targeted. “It was like a crusade and felt like being stoned publicly.”
She now takes a dim view of the encampment atmosphere. “It completely insulates you in this echo chamber and indoctrinates you. If you had any questions, you’d lose your social belonging – the last thing you wanted to be called was a Zionist.”
She adds that the protesters’ “attention turned into this hatred” and there were constant calls for the “normalisation of violence”. Some activists, for example, celebrated the assassinations of Charlie Kirk, the Right-wing political activist, and Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare chief executive, she says.
The mental toll had become so heavy on Thomas that she stepped away from her studies late last year. What helped get her through this tough period is the new friendships she has formed, including some with Jewish students.
“They knew I came from the encampments and they engaged with me, intellectually argued with me, disagreed with me, but we still broke bread on Shabbat,” she says. “I learned from my [now] best friend that she was doxxed because of people within our movement. I know I have to repair some of those damages.”
‘Open your heart and put down those megaphones’
Thomas says her family are not politically engaged in the issue of Israel and Gaza and she has faced questions from her mother about her involvement. “She was just like, ‘Why are you doing this? It isn’t your burden to shoulder.’ She just wants her family to be safe and protected.”
But Thomas hopes that by sharing her story it will encourage others to experience the Nova exhibition. “I hope the people who are protesting will come – I just want them to go inside,” she says. “None of this is political. Just look and learn the stories – you don’t have to agree. Come in with an open heart and an open mind and put down those megaphones.”
As for Thomas, she hopes to return to university in September, but in the meantime, she is determined to do what she can to increase cross-community understanding. “A lot of us on the pro-Palestine side were recruited through empathy, so I think we can be reached through it too. Because of this unique perspective I have of what changed my heart, I think I can hopefully change other people’s.
“I’m not Jewish. I’m an African American woman. But a lot of our struggles are parallel,” she says. “We’re seeing an increase in anti-Semitism, we’re seeing an increase in extremism and political violence. There’s just no way that I can now sit back, kick my feet up and call it a day.”
one of the greatest scams ever pulled was convincing women that male self-control is our responsibility.
religious texts constantly tell men to control themselves. the quran literally tells men to lower their gaze before it tells women what to wear. the bhagavad gita repeatedly treats uncontrolled desire as a failure of self-mastery. apparently god expected men to have functioning brains.
yet somehow every sermon, every auntie, every self-appointed moral guardian reaches the same conclusion: women need more rules.
funny how that works.
“don’t lust” is a command directed at men, but it’s completely invisible. nobody can audit it. nobody can measure it. nobody can catch a man having a pure enough thought. so the responsibility quietly evaporates.
meanwhile a woman’s hair is visible. her clothes are visible. her body is visible. suddenly everyone becomes a forensic investigator of female morality.
a man spends all day staring at women? who knows. only god can judge.
a woman shows an inch too much skin? somehow every random guy within a five mile radius becomes god’s deputy.
isn’t it amazing how the sins committed by men always seem to require divine investigation while the sins committed by women can be identified immediately by the nearest unemployed busybody?
if your religion tells men to lower their gaze and your first instinct is still to lecture women about existing in public, maybe the problem isn’t female immodesty. maybe you’ve simply found a version of morality where men are treated like helpless animals and women are expected to manage the consequences.
what an insulting worldview for everyone involved.
In India, marital rape is not criminalized for couples living together, as the law has a specific exception for a husband's sexual intercourse with his wife, as long as she is over 18. However, sexual intercourse without consent is considered a crime if the couple is living separately. A victim of marital rape can seek relief under the domestic violence act, 2005, which considers sexual abuse a form of domestic violence, but this provides a civil remedy rather than criminal. punishment for the act of rape itself.
Should it be criminalised? Absolutely, yes.
Rape is rape, whether within a marriage or outside it. Marriage doesn't mean perpetual consent.
Can it be properly implemented, guaranteeing that it will not be used against men by wives as an instrument to harass them? No.
Indian law is full of instances where certain laws made to protect weaker sections of the society (like the POCSO, Prevention of Atrocities, 498A, etc.) are weaponised by people and used, not as a shield, but as a sword to harass others. If this law is implemented, it will be no different.
In legal systems around the world, there is an axiom: passing a law protecting others should not be discouraged solely on the grounds that it can be misused. I generally tend to susbscribe to this ideology and this case is no different.
^ Honestly, in a country where most of the rapists are let go free isn't the right place to worry about what about lying women (which again, is the same assumption made in actual rape cases : what if she's lying?)
Marital rape being the most common type of rape that happens in india shouldn't be questioned being criminalized with the idea what will happen if the person that's being raped is Lying. Hope that made sense.
Your intentions are right, and I want to applaud you for raising your voice against one of the most hidden and painful issues faced by women around the world and especially in India......
This is a deeply cruel and heartbreaking reality for countless women in India and around the world.
Many women choose to remain silent, believing it to be their destiny.
But as human beings, we must call it what it truly is - RAPE.
It is rape against her will; it is the violation of her body, mind, and soul.
However, you may not have fully seen how cruel the world can be.
There are all kinds of people - both good and bad among both men and women.
There are many evil women who also exist in this world, Whom you haven't seen yet....but they also exist... like evil men.
false equivalency. women lying and men raping is not the same thing. false rape allegations don't ruin lives as even real rape allegations don't. as a woman, you can't say women can be evil cause one of us lied.
nobody asked for a bedtime story about 'evil women.' every time women discuss rape and male violence, someone shows up with the gender-war version of 'not all men, and some women are bad too.' congratulations on discovering that women are human beings, not angels. the existence of cruel women doesn't magically erase the fact that women are disproportionately the victims of sexual violence. if your first response to women talking about rape is to change the subject to 'bad women,' you avoid accountability and deflect. putting women in the defensive position of the argument where we have to prove some virtue of our existence.
false rape allegations isn't even women's fault, its administration's. in some cases where the perpertrator isn't clear. the rape happened, no one knows who the rapist is. because of intoxication etc. the administration as in the investigation of low profile rape cases is unbelievably lazy, especially in rural India.
making this liberal ahh argument as if men and women are killing each other at the same rate is absolutely wild.
Overall, an estimated 8 to 10 percent of women are thought to report their rapes to the police, which means that — at the very highest — we can infer that 90 percent of rapes go unreported, says Belknap. Obviously, only those rapes that are reported in the first place can be considered falsely reported, so that 5 percent figure only applies to 10 percent (at most) of rapes that occur. This puts the actual false allegation figure closer to 0.5 percent.
I'm sorry but wtf was that “men bad but women also bad” ass reblog
Like ok women lie but the fuck does that even has to do with criminalizing marital rape?
Why atlk about something when that's clearly not the intended topic. This is giving peak “not all men” ahh attitude.
Also it's so common for rapists to victim blame and say “oh she is lying” tf would you do about that? Believe whom? Evil man or evil woman?
If people are really so bothered with male victims maybe they should make posts about raping men also isn't criminalized in India, instead of crying crocodile tears about 0.05% possible false accusations. But you'll never see them make posts on that.
Everytime I see an indian historical drama with actresses having full face of makeup ( and a very visible eyeshadow) instead of period appropriate makeup ( yes you sanjay leela bhansali ) with inaccurate and cheap clothing ( looking at you pracchand ashoka)an angel loses a wing
ppl really r like “how dare you place misogyny on the same level as *ACTUAL BIGOTRY* like idk where people get the idea that it’s like totally unreasonable to compare misogyny to racism or homophobia or to think misogyny is a serious issue
Most hate crimes are against women, there’s just so many that they don’t even see it that way. Oh a serial killer is killing young girls? Typical. Oh a man killed his wife? Typical. Oh a girl is followed home at night? Typical.
No not typical. It’s because they were women, it happens so much and in plain site it’s ignored in the same way the sky being blue is ignored. The fact that leftists can see a problem with “sundown” towns and not with the fact that every place has those rules for women and girls is crazy.

I'm all for supporting vegans but please if you're vegan and aren't willing to provide adequate nutrition to a carnivore pet for ideological reasons, don't choose a carnivore animal as a pet. Choose herbivore pets or omnivores that can be fully and healthily nutrient supplied without animal-based food, don't abuse carnivores.
im not saying we shouldn't be calling out hypocrisy but i do think it's important to be aware of what i call the Two Different Guys Fallacy. and that's that whenever you're thinking to yourself, oh how come X group claim they want this thing but also support that other incompatible thing. take a moment to stop and consider whether it could just be Two Different Guys that think each thing
Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
A popular account on X app posted a news that Taliban rule brought out a new law that would divide the society into four classes, where the prescribed punishments for the same crime would depend on one's social status. Highest in the hierarchy would be the Islamic clergy that would be exempt from severe punishment. In the second category would be the elites, such as tribal elders, military commanders, etc. who would be warned but would not face imprisonment or corporal punishment. In the third category would be the middle class, for whom imprisonment may be imposed. The fourth category would consist of the rest, who don't fall in the aforementioned, they'd face corporal punishment. Do you hear where this is going? everyone in the comments are bringing up the caste system of India due to the superficial resemblance in the hierarchical structure. Even dumb Indians are jumping up and down and pointing out how Taliban is adopting Hindu custom. 
This is absolutely false! First of all, this kind of division of society into hierarchies is not unique to India. Feudal Europe had a far worse system with serfdom. Just read how Romanis were treated in medieval central-eastern Europe, even all the way in Sweden, your blood will run cold. Source. No such treatment was ever there in Hindu Vedic society!
Moreover, Taliban's alleged new law is the reverse. For example in the Manusmriti, kings were punished more severely than commoners, and brahmins would receive 64 folds the punishment a shudra would for theft. Tonsure, branding and public humiliation for unlawful sexual conduct for brahmins and death for other castes. You can decide yourself which is worse..
As you can see, Taliban's new alleged law has nothing to do with Hinduism. Now that we got that out of the way, let me point out another thing. This is most likely Pakistani propaganda against Afghanistan. At least the way this news is being framed. Lots of Pakistani accounts in the comments have posted the same copy-pasta comment that "Afghanistan getting closer to India is bearing its fruits". A notable detail here is that in Iran's Islamic regime, they've separate courts for Islamic clerics who have broken the law. Dadgah-e Vizheh-ye Rouhaniyat. Moreover, Pakistanis follow their Islamic hierarchical division. Here you can read more about the racism in Islamic world and the importance of lineage in Islamic society. Did you know that the Ahl Al-Bayt, Prophet Muhammad's immediate descendants, were conferred sacred authority, social prestige, tax exemptions & real political influence? Source. The Hashemites of Jordan, for example. King Hussein of Jordan, the descendant of Prophet Muhammed, was a central figure in conducting the Black September killings of Palestinians. And if this wasn't sad enough, Pakistani ministers say publicly how Muslims can't be hired for sanitation work because those are for "low caste Hindus and Christians". Even Pakistan's former PM Liaquat Ali Khan said this. Pakistan's perverted hierarchical system of discrimination comes straight from Islamic bigotry, and has nothing to do with Vedic civilisation.
Lastly, I want to point out that although I do have my sympathies for the Kalash people and the Nuristanis (former Kafiristanis), they were not Vedic or proto-Hindu people. They were para-Vedic at most, meaning that their culture was adjacent to the formal structure of Vedic civilisation of ancient India. The Kalash and Nuristanis having worshipped Mahadeo, Indr, Imro etc. doesn't mean they were Vedic. It just means that the Indosphere or the Vedic sphere of influence was so influential that some remnants still survived in those isolated pockets. The reason why Kalash and Nuristanis cannot be called Vedic is because they do not follow Vedic of Agamic rituals unlike, say, Balinese Hindus do. They could if they were under Vedic sphere of influence again, but they're surrounded by Islamic Mlecchas and have no plausible standing anymore. Another thing I see Indians have, sadly, internalised is the European pseudo-historians claim that the Kalash and Nuristanis practice "a more ancient form of Hinduism or Vedic tradition", or an "Indo-Iranian belief system", alluding that they follow a belief system that existed before the theorised split of the Vedic and Avestan cultures. There's no proof that either Kalash or Nuristanis stayed isolated and did not evolve for 5000 years. The European Mleccha pseudo-historians theorised this because it fit into their idea of "Aryan invasion theory" (which they came up with because they couldn't believe that the brown Hindoos had such a sophisticated high culture).
Anyway, my rant on Mlecchas shall continue in some other post. Thank you for reading. 🙏🏼
In recent years, the Brazilian right wing has been trying to convince the population that abortion is a crime equivalent to first-degree murder. That same right-wing refuses to address the real issues.
In Brazil, more than 5 million children do not have their father listed on their birth certificates (source: IBDFAM), and many more children do not have a father present in their lives. Every year, 700 to 800 children are declared to have lost both parents (source: ANDI). Nearly 34,000 children live in orphanages in Brazil (source: CNJ). 66 children go missing every day in Brazil (source: SINESP). One in four pregnant women in Brazil experiences postpartum depression (source: FIOCRUZ). For every 100,000 births, 100 mothers die in Brazil (source: GOV BR). Two out of every three women experience obstetric violence in Brazil (source: FIOCRUZ). One in every 23 teenagers becomes a mother every year in Brazil (source: Brazilian OSP). 32 million children and adolescents live in poverty in Brazil (source: UNICEF). In 2018, it was estimated that 416,000 to 865,000 women of all ages, faiths, and social groups are exposed to unsafe abortion each year in Brazil, with a high maternal mortality rate, with Black and Indigenous women being the most affected groups (source: FIOCRUZ). In 2024, Brazil recorded approximately 1.65 million children and adolescents aged 5 to 17 forced into child labor (source: IBGE). Three out of every four cases of abuse involve children or adolescents in Brazil (source: ABRINQ). Brazil has approximately 993,000 children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 who are not in school (source: UNICEF). In the Federal District alone, child protection agencies recorded more than 216,000 reports in 2024 involving violence and neglect (source: GOV BR). Brazil has approximately 760,000 children aged 2 to 9 with disabilities. Studies indicate that nearly half of students with disabilities (47.2% in 2022) do not receive specialized educational support, and approximately 140,000 young people were out of school due to failures in inclusion (source: IBGE).
