Mother's Day just passed, but let's remember the Indigenous women who couldn't be mothers because of the stеriIizаtion programs led by the US like in the 1940s against Mexicans under California's 1909 Eugenics law or the 1970 law that stеriΙzed at least 25% of Native American women

An incredible number of hours went into covering up #Trump's alleged affairs in 2016. #MicgaelCohen & the team at The #NationalEnquirer went to elaborate lengths & constantly communicated about how to keep #women quiet. Accounting departments were engaged. Front companies were created. Misleading invoices were produced.

I'm watching documentaries

The second one I'm watching now is about violence against women

I'm already having trouble watching the first few minutes, tears are welling up in my eyes

How can it be that we don't deal with this more often?
These women will suffer for a lifetime, struggle with the consequences and yet are only a marginal figure in the media

Every third day a woman is murdered in Germany, every third day, it breaks my heart

"the direct bombardment of #hospitals & deliberate denial of access to #health care facilities by #Israeli snipers... placing an estimated 50,000 pregnant #Palestinian #women & 20,000 new-born babies at unimaginable risk. Over 183 women per day are giving birth w/out pain relief, while hundreds of #babies have died because of a lack of electricity to power incubators... increases in miscarriages by up to 300%. 95% of pregnant & breastfeeding women face severe #food poverty”

"Over 8,000 others are reported missing or under the rubble – ...at least half of them can be assumed to be #women and #children... an estimated 63 women, including 37 mothers are being killed daily and 17,000 Palestinian children are believed to have been orphaned since the war on #Gaza began.

1.7 million people are internally displaced, and 1.1. million are projected to face catastrophic levels of #food insecurity."

"“We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the #Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa #hospitals, including of #women and #children, with many reportedly showing signs of #torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.

...as of 29 April 2024, of 34,488 #Palestinians killed in Gaza, 14,500 have been children and 9,500 women."

No need to fear #menopause #HormoneDrugs

>2 decades ago, the shocking results of a major women’s #health study challenged the safety of menopause #hormone medication, & overnight, millions of #women & their #doctors abandoned the drugs….

Now, a long-term follow-up of the #WomensHealth Initiative (WHI)…found that for many younger menopausal women—under 60—the benefits…outweigh the risks for short-term treatment of symptoms, incl’g hot flashes & night sweats.

"As part of an extensive interview with Time Magazine, former President Donald Trump expanded on what abortion access would look like in the United States in a potential second term. Trump laid out a dystopian vision where pregnant women could be placed under state surveillance and then subjected to criminal punishment for any transgressions."

"As of midnight, an archaic near-total abortion ban went into effect in Florida. Donald Trump is to blame.

The state now outlaws nearly all abortions after 6 weeks, which is essentially a complete ban since a majority of women don't even know they’re pregnant that early on."
