The Western View Of Geisha Is So Funny Because It’s Completely Wrong 

To those with compassionate hearts:

I write to you from the depths of pain and suffering, as my family lives in the Gaza Strip under the weight of siege, destruction, and bloodshed. Life in Gaza has become more than just a struggle for survival; it is a daily fight for existence under conditions that can only be described as tragic.

My family now resides in a fabric tent, our last refuge after losing our home and everything we owned. This tent does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer, and it barely shields our children from the surrounding dangers.

We lost my father, our support and protector, whose soul ascended due to the brutal war. His loss was not just a loss for us, but the end of our security and stability. We also lost my brother's little girl and my sister's little girl, our blossoms who saw only a little happiness in life before the war stole them from our embrace.

With broken hearts and tearful eyes, I beseech you to look with compassion at our suffering. We are in dire need of your support and assistance to be able to live with dignity, even if it is modest.

Read it again. Read it again. Read. It. Again.

Understand the gravity of this. This is genocide.

from Al Jazeera English, 13/Mar/2024:

“This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future,” the head of the #UN’s Palestinian refugee agency #UNRWA Philppe Lazzarini wrote.⁠

"Over 12,300 children were killed in Gaza between October 2023 and February 2024, the data shows, compared to 12,193 children killed in global conflict from 2019 to 202, Lazzarini has shared this data on X." ⁠

The fact that Pieper Lewis is being forced to pay her sex trafficker's family $150,000 for killing him in self-defense is horrendous and evil. I am filled with so much anger and sorrow for her. I hate the justice system that allowed this to happen. She deserves reparations for the harm that was caused to her. A man tortured a girl and she has to pay his family for trying to survive. She was 15 when she killed him in self-defense. They charged a Black girl as an adult when she was a kid. The system has and continues to prosecute Black people as adults when they are children. She is 18 now. She's having to relive her trauma for three years now. He raped and trafficked her to other men. Pieper agreed to have her name used previously in stories about her case. She's taking all of this heat publicly and of course, the prosecution blamed her for "leaving his kids without a father." They judged her clothing choices. I hope everyone who charged her for trying to survive gets hell. Her life was damaged when this man went and harmed her. The system did not protect her from what she faced and when they found out what was done to her, they continued to put her through pain and trauma. They are now sentencing her to five years on probation in a women's facility. She was a girl. She is barely an adult now. The community owes her a service. That man owes her reparations. The justice system owes her for allowing her to be harmed and oppressed by the system. Not the other way around. She is in jail being punished when she did not commit a crime. They put a girl in a cage.

I'm re-linking the GoFundMe here. It's currently disabled at 15.8K donations but this may change. She was arrested after cutting off a GPS trafficking device that she was forced to wear and leaving the facility.

Using codewords to protect against domestic violence

Using codewords to protect against domestic violence

A Cape Town women’s group is using coded text messages to help victims of gender-based violence and abuse get out of harm’s way

She also runs a lockdown feeding scheme mainly serving women, who line up to get a meal for their family. Here, new words are conveyed, check-ins are conducted and it’s also a way to get women to safety. Since the lockdown began, Peters has been responsible for making sure four women have been moved to a place of safety.

“It’s the women who come and collect food for their families, or would have fed their children at night, so would come to get something for themselves in the morning. This would be our opportunity to take them to shelters,” she says.

Using coded phone messages to reach out for help is not new. In November 2019, an American woman in Ohio called the 911 emergency number to order a pizza; it was her call for help after an attack inside her home.

Since the onset of the lockdown, support groups and NGOs have noted an increase in gender-based violence. Police Minister Bheki Cele announced that in the first five days of the lockdown, between March 27 and March 31, about 2300 complaints had been received by the national gender-violence hotline. Of those, 148 suspects were charged.

“The violence moved inside the home. But it’s so difficult with people having to decide whether to buy data for their cellphone or a loaf of bread. And of course, a mother is going to choose a loaf of bread,” says Peters
