In honor of Women's History Month and International Women's Day, I would like to dedicate a post to ways we can help women around the world facing genocide and gender based violence. Below are a list of organizations and groups to donate to focused on bettering the lives of and providing direct aid to women and girls in areas of conflict. This is an evolving list/resource so I will gladly take suggestions or edit requests from anyone who knows of a verified group helping women and girls that could be added to this list.
Access to Menstrual Products and Repro Healthcare
Sudan, Palestine, DRCongo, Lebanon
Sudan
Periods don’t stop for war: For every $5 Donated a woman or girl in Sudan receives a menstrual hygiene kit for the month
Let's Talk Period: As disposable menstrual hygiene products are too expensive for most women, grassroots groups have popped up to make, distribute, and educate other women and girls on how to make their own reusable pads.

Distributions will take place in various areas accessible to on-ground teams such as camps in Rafah and UN schools."
Anera: there’s a list of things certain amounts of money can get the people of Palestine, $10 can get a family a blanket for winter, $40 can provide hygiene kits that include menstrual products, and $75+ can get people a mattress and more
Arab.Org: Free daily clicks generate ad revenue that goes to UNRWA. This link in particular shows you a full list of specific projects in need of funds you can also give to with a click from poverty to the environment to a fund focused on women.
DRCongo
City of Joy: “The City of Joy is a transformational leadership community for women survivors of violence, located in Bukavu, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Conceived, owned, and run by local Congolese, the City of Joy has flourished since it first opened its doors in June 2011, healing women from their past trauma through therapy and life skills programming while providing them with the essential ingredients needed to move forward in life – love and community.”
Panzi Foundation: “Every day, between 5 and 7 new survivors walk through our doors. For 20 years, we’ve not only mended each woman’s injuries, we’ve walked with them to healing—every step of the way.”

2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard
3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."
4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.
adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.
here's the intro
i almost think there's an essay in bell hooks' black looks about this too? yes! just checked, there's an essay called "eating the other"

What would you do if you were scrolling through recommended tumblr posts and one was from someone you don't know and it was just a picture of your dad captioned "fucking hate this guy" and it had hundreds of notes
The first photo is from 1956. It shows a Black woman watching members of the Ku Klux Klan (a terrorist, racist, far-right organization focused on white supremacy) walking along a sidewalk in Montgomery, Alabama (USA). I couldn't find the photo's author, but most sources state that it was taken in 1956.
The second photo shows members of the Patriot Front group (a white supremacist and nationalist group, formed in 2017, that openly advocates what they call "American Fascism") traveling on the subway during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence in Washington D.C., while a Black woman watches them. The photo is by photographer Cheney Orr, taken on July 4, 2026, 70 years after the first photo.
Your support is very important to me during this time
I shared the story of my wife and her gunshot wound to the chest. I told you that the bullet is still lodged in her chest and that she is now six months pregnant. This is the first time I have shared details of my private life. I was considering two options. The first was that I didn't want to share my private life out of embarrassment for the Arabs here. They might think badly of me, saying that I'm sharing my problems and misfortunes to make money, which isn't true. I have many problems that I haven't shared to make money. The second option is that everyone here knows me for my positivity and love, and I don't want to burden them with difficult stories and make them worry about me. However, recently I received donations that will allow me to at least get through these next few days without fear, because money is everything these days. I can't get anywhere without money because I couldn't afford private transportation. This is just a small part of what we are going through. The Palestinian people are currently living through the most difficult period in their history. The hardship and harshness of life are beyond our wildest dreams. Finally, I want to thank everyone who supported me, especially my close friends, who know themselves well. I want everyone to stand by me during this ordeal and difficult time when I need you.
My name is Mohammed ayesh from Gaza Recently, I started a new chapter in my li… Shelley Gordon needs your support for Support Ayesh’s family
I trust you and I know you trust me. I know the current situation is financially difficult, but I need your help. Please share my link with your families, friends, and loved ones. 😔

“Inclusive community arts festival!” “Everybody welcome!” “Events for all!”
No access info for any of the venues
Box office is inaccessible
Google “[festival name] accessibility”; get info on their “accessible pricing” (pay £1 less if you want to). No mention of free tickets for essential carers
Do a lot of disability detective work; most venues don’t have wheelchair access
One claims to be accessible, look inside: “we’re an accessible venue. There are three steps to get in, but we can help you with those”.
This and "masking optional" signs at best without even some free baggy blue procedural masks on a table is why I stopped doing so much stuff in my area. The Pride committee in the town next to me that does a big Pride parade explicitly stated that lawn chairs wouldn't be allowed because they "take up too much space..." So fuck anyone who can't stand for hours in the June heat, right?
I’ve seen similar posts with FMA. I’ve seen people be baffled when describing Ed as disabled because somehow “He wears prosthetics for his amputated arm and leg” just.. didn’t quite occur to them. The disability is so well accommodated and normalized in the fiction that people stop recognizing it’s a disability. Similar to needing to wear glasses because being unable to see is a disability but it’s so well accommodated and normalized that we tend to often forget this fact.
