Israel’s horrifying plans to take over Gaza City will lead to more death and destruction.

ReminderπŸ“Œ

Sex without consent is RAPE.

Silence is not a yes.
No resistance is not a yes.
Absence of "no" is not a yes.
A pretty dress is not a yes.
Sexy underwear is not a yes.
Turning away from you is not a yes.
"I am not sure" is not a yes.

Today, 1 August 2025, marks 7 years since the shooting of civilians by soldiers during protests in the aftermath of the 2018 Zimbabwe general elections.

We demand justice for the victims, their families and call upon the government to implement recommendations of the Motlanthe Commission.

WE ARE LIKE "STRAY ANIMALS"

Stateless people are restricted from participating in the economy, accessing jobs, opening a bank account, buying a house, opening their own businesses or entering into legally recognizable marriages or family unions.

Imagine a life without a nationality.

Stateless individuals often find themselves deprived of essential rights, including access to #education, #healthcare, and #employment.

Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza must end now. Israel must immediately lift all restrictions on the entry of aid, reinstate the UN system of aid distribution and allow unfettered, safe, and dignified access to humanitarian aid throughout Gaza immediately.

The harrowing suffering of starving Palestinians in Gaza, including our own colleagues, on an hourly basis, is exacerbated by Israel’s cruel and devastating militarised non-neutral β€˜aid distribution’ system. Over 800 people have been killed trying to access aid. This must stop now.

Israel is continuing to use starvation as a method of warfare, a war crime, and as a tool to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
