Standing in solidarity with SWANA femmes and all marginalized genders worldwide – let's unite against oppressive systems. Together, we can build strength, holding the breadth of our intersectionality in linked hands. This International Women's Day, let's amplify each other's struggles and triumphs. As we celebrate women's achievements globally, let's also address the harsh disparities faced by women worldwide. It is not a happy day. Let's use our voice and platforms to elevate those who need it most. Speak up for the women of Pakistan, Central African Republic, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Chad, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, and Afghanistan. Champion their cause and refuse to look away. Speak up for for trans and nonbinary. None of us are truly free until we all are. Stand for collective action, stand for collective liberation. #IWD2024 #InternationalWomensDay
