too many western feminist spaces still fail woc especially those in the Global South. women are fighting misogyny and violence in hostile environments, often with little local support, while organizations that claim to stand with women are nowhere to be found or minimize what they’re facing.

🧵I find myself asking whether my identity has made my situation harder for others to recognize. I have tried to find guidance beyond my immediate surroundings, including from organizations that speak publicly about protecting women, girls, LGBTQ+ and persecuted people. Mostly received is SILENCE.

🧵I have learned that people do not always meet a person in danger with open eyes. Sometimes they meet her with a story already prepared: who deserves sympathy, who seems credible, who is innocent enough to protect, and who is too complicated to help.

🧵One of the hardest things I have learned is that documenting human rights abuses does not always bring protection, recognition, or solidarity. For women observing and reporting from hostile environments, the work can mean living with fear while continuing to record what others may prefer not to see

Antarctic sea ice naturally varies from year to year, so one month alone does not tell the whole story. But repeated exceptionally low levels are a serious warning tho.

🧵I hope we can remember that rising tensions in the world often begin with people feeling unheard, threatened, or abandoned. Fear can harden into anger, and anger can deepen divisions between communities. In such moments, compassion is part of what makes peaceful coexistence possible.

I wish people understood what these failures look like in one woman’s life. As a woman who has experienced persecution, and as a queer person, I can't simply be expected to place myself in the hands of men on a dangerous boat. what are women like me meant to do right now?

R-pe myths shift responsibility from the person who chose to violate consent onto the person who was targeted, and they make reporting and justice harder. “Not fighting back” is not consent, many people freeze, dissociate, or fear being seriously harmed.

I see global solidarity with women and queer people, but too often it operates as a postcode lottery of solidarity, shaped by metropolitan bias and a centre–periphery divide. Those of us in marginalised and remote communities are left without support, safety, attention.

It’s raining, and I’m letting myself believe that suffering can end, that persecution doesn’t last forever, and that freedom, somehow, someday, might still be possible. For now, I’m here, listening to the rain and holding on.

They say that every life has equal value. But equality becomes real only when concern crosses borders that are politically inconvenient, when advocacy reaches people who are not already visible, and when organizations are willing to take seriously the person who does not fit their campaign.

I have spent a long time trying to find protection in places that were supposed to offer it, only to discover how many gaps exist between being in danger and being truly helped, and how much determination a person can carry and how much they should never have been required to carry alone.

mossad infiltration? It reduces every passenger on that plane to a potential agent of a foreign state. After a near-crash, the people who need help are the ones sitting in those seats.

After months of seeking safety and assistance, I’m left wondering how persecuted people are meant to reach help when international institutions remain silent. If support is only accessible to those already in safe, connected places, what happens to women in remote and dangerous environments?

I hope we learn to build communities where solidarity is something people can feel, not just something others say. Vulnerable people need practical support, clear guidance, and someone willing to help them reach safety.

Silence and vague sympathy can become another form of abandonment when someone is already facing danger. Solidarity must be measured not only by who speaks, but by who responds. For vulnerable people facing threats to their lives, solidarity has to become visible as action:

Queer people living in hostile environments are facing persecution, rising anti-queer rhetoric, and little or no protection. Rising anti-queer sentiment is making their danger worse. They deserve more than sympathetic words after the harm is done, they deserve a safe path out. 🏳️‍🌈♥️
