It’s feels so insignificant to have this struggle but I’m getting my period soon and there’s no place to buy cotton/pads or the specific painkillers I get and it’s so so cold my pre cramps are already killing me. It makes me feel so helpless. [@/ Dicktator117 on X. 12/28/23.]
“Periods Don't Stop for Conflict” I remember this headline addressing women's health in Ukraine. Not a peep out of those same agencies about Sudanese & Palestinian women struggling in war/conflict zones.

I created a link for a gofundme happening right now to ensure Period Care reaches folks who need it in Sudan, and I will re-post this here for folks who can share and/or support:
This link here will lead you to this post of where you can support/send funds so that period care reaches those who need it in [Palestine] and other areas as well.
"On International Women's Day, 9-year-old reporter Lama Abo Jamous sheds light on the plight of Palestinian women from a Rafah displacement camp. Her reporting emphasizes the contrast between global celebrations of emancipation and the reality faced by these women, who bear unimaginable burdens." from Translating Falasteen, 08/Mar/2024:
A panel of UN experts has condemned violence against women and children perpetrated by the Israeli military.
“We are appalled that women are being targeted by Israel with such vicious, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, seemingly sparing no means to destroy their lives and deny them their fundamental human rights,” said an independent panel of experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council.
The experts slammed reports of sexual assault and violence against women and girls, including against those detained by Israeli occupation forces.
They added that women and girls in Gaza have faced enforced disappearances.
They also condemned the “appalling” treatment of pregnant women as a result of the Israeli bombardment of hospitals.
They noted that Israeli forces had also destroyed Gaza’s largest fertility clinic, reported to have been storing 3,000 embryos.
The report was drafted by special rapporteurs, who are assigned by he UN Human Rights Council, but whose statements are not official UN positions.
We will never forget the Palestinian struggle - for Palestinian women both fighting settler colonialism in their homeland and beyond to the Palestinian diaspora. 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Reminder that you can donate to the Pious Project Feminine Hygiene Kits for Gaza With the Asad Sisters, they donate hygiene products for Palestinian women
Any feminist who hasn't stood up or talked about Gaza, any human who hasn't talked about Gaza, should never talk about morals or human rights or even right or wrong in general ever again !
This is the greatest humanity crisis of our time. Stand your ground
Israel is Intentionally targeting press in Gaza beacuse they know they are committing mass war crimes and genocide and doesn't want the world to see it. But they take to twitter to provide fake evidence against Palestine, which has been proved as fake hundreds of times. The villainization of the Palestinian people is outrageous. The audacity is un real.
