So, most aggressive modern feminists are not for women's rights and causes. No. They are just anti-men...Lolz. How do we know? Mainstream feminists tend to speak-up for themselves and other female celebrities against popular male celebs or high ranking officials- to gain status, fame or wealth. If the girl or woman of abuse is not a celebrity- which is like 99% of the time (globally)- her rights get ignored by modern feminist women. 'Me Too' only applies when the culprit is a rich guy or celeb or organization. Or when there is fame to be achieved. Lolz You disagree? Please present a contradictory evidence. One example where the culprit was not a celeb, wealthy 1%, big corporation or government. One example where it was everyday women and girls as victims, and modern feminists came to their protection.

Human Rights Day marks the end of #16daysofactivism With this in mind, we would like to remind everyone that fighting for human rights is not limited to a day - or an event - but is something we should all advocate for at all times. Humanity should be cherished, nurtured and valued. Fighting for human rights for all people is a step towards changing the world into one that values life. It's time to take active steps towards change both as an individual and as a community. We all have a part to play, play yours by joining us as we end gender-based violence one action at a time. #16Days16Actions #16daysofactivism #humanrights #humanrightsday #humanity #makechangehappen #endviolence #endgenderbasedviolence #strongertogether #gbv #endgbv #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #activism #bethechangeyouwanttosee #stopgbv #stopgenderbasedviolence #genderbasedviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen 

Platform seekers who strive to Voice privileged states of being, quickly morph into notoriety based on their language of exclusion that signal ;hate, fear and misinformation on rhetroic wrapped in absolute beliefs of acceptance and ways of being. These voices carry undertones of privilege, binary notions of gender rooted in biological determinsim, yet frame this as a platform of freedom of speech for all women. It is interesting how some segments of media have played the card of gender essentialism, safety &morality, traditional womanhood and weponizing the framing of power in words to reinforce fixed positions of being. By framing the narrative of Let her Speak - to weaponise those whom do not fit their notions of womanhood. That is trans women like me. My response is that I was born a woman with a soul and mind who is taking power over her bodily autonomy at 54, disabled & Trans and I too can wear a t-shirt with Woman on it and feel proud. When I wear my t-shirt I welcome all women including all intersectionalities and my t-shirt would also include part of humanhood community of acceptance and care.

Events are often a great reason for a campaign. June is Pride Month: what do brands and organizations do with it? And is it pinkwashing or are they allies? Read my blog for ILOVEGAY. https://lnkd.in/e-8e768S #MarketingTheRainbow #GayMarketing #LGBT #gayadvertising

On #IDAHOBIT2024, let's raise our voices for justice!  As we come together in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies worldwide, let's demand accountability and action to address systemic discrimination and injustice.  By challenging harmful stereotypes and amplifying marginalised voices, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, and where access to justice is universal.  Together, let's build a future where fairness, dignity, and respect are the cornerstones of society.  #JusticeForAll #IDAHOBIT #may17 ILGA World

As we kick off the #KnowYourLaws Campaign, let's reflect on the impact of the Anti Homosexuality Act #AHA23 on the community. This section prohibits a person from "knowingly" allowing their premises to be used for the "purposes of homosexuality" or to otherwise commit an offence under the Act. For example, a landlord that knows that his tenants, a same-sex couple, regularly have sexual relations in their apartment may be convicted under this offence. In practice, this provision is being used to evict persons suspected or perceived (whether true or not) of being LGBTIQ+. Landlords, under the pretext of enforcement of the law, forcetully evict individuals despite the terms of the lease and the landlord can be subjected to imprisonment for up 7 Years if they don’t comply to the law. #HumanRightsAreUniversal Human Rights Campaign The Fund for Global Human Rights CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation.
