Why feminist movements will fail without disability justice #DisabilityPrideMonth ๐โ
To exist is to resist! Disability Justice IS Feminist Justice. ๐ฃ Disability rights organiser and artist Patricia Berne reminds us, "We cannot comprehend ableism without grasping its interrelations with heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism and capitalism." ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น ๐๐ป๐น๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ through trauma, injury, and denial of ca

#WorldPopulationDay ๐More and more SEAblings are opting out of parenthood, ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ?
Across Southeast Asia, governments are sounding the alarm over declining birth rates and an impending โdemographic crisisโ. But letโs not pretend the crisis is that young people are having fewer children. Just look at the world theyโve inherited: climate collapse, rising authoritarianism, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, unpaid care burdens, and deepening inequality. โ ๏ธ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ด๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ต ๏ฟฝ

Millennial vs Gen Z comms team on Global South feminist movements
We jumped on the Millennial vs Gen Z social media trend, because hey, we're a proudly intergenerational feminist team at Manushya. And as a team of decolonial and intersectional feminists at Manushya, we donโt see the Global North and Global South as just geography. We see them as lived realities shaped by privilege, marginalisation, and structural inequality. You can live in the North and experience the realities of the South through poverty and exclusion. You can also live

A reminder for Lesbian Visibility Day: Being seen is not enough.

International Women's Day must be intersectional and decolonial, or nothing at all
The women united will never be defeated! โ๐ฝ Today on International Womenโs Day , weโre celebrating women in all their intersecting diversities. International Womenโs Day was born from the struggles of women workers organizing for dignity, fair wages, and justice. It was never meant to be a corporate celebration. It was, and still is, a movement. We honour the roots of this day by celebrating the voices and leadership of women too who continue to struggle for justice: women w
