[queer-feminist-quotes]

Today if a rape survivor is expected to be taken seriously then they need to be considered a ‘respesctable’ woman. This is why we see so many questions of a woman’s promiscuity brought into play if she chooses to make allegations against her rapist. If a woman is promiscious or has too many sexual partners, then people make excuses for her assault because she was 'asking for it’. The basic message behind this is that a sexually active woman doesn’t deserve to be in control of her own sexuality and her own body. And if she is violated, then it’s her own fault for ever having been sexual in the first place.

A woman putting herself first is rebellion in the world as we know it. Women putting women first is a threat to the world as we know it.

83% of girls in ‪Burkina Faso‬ and 77% in ‪‎Niger‬ have no place in school to change menstrual materials. In ‪Ghana‬, girls miss up to 5 days a month due to inadequate sanitation facilities and the lack of menstrual products at school.

NGOs like Zana Africa, Huru International, Sustainable Health Enterprises (SHE), and Femme International are making a difference by providing menstrual health education to women in need.
