I'm a global citizen, with an academic backgrund in the Middle East and Africa. Cities around the world feel like my home. I'm a professional Educator, which means something both in and out of public schools in the Bronx. And I believe in Solidarity. Wherever I am. Notes from my travels, research, and encounters tend to end up here...

Stomp & Holler, Northampton MA. October 22, 2011
Sign reads: 1 in 3 Native and Alaskan Native American women are raped at some point in their lives. That’s 13% more than the national average for all women in the US. 86% of the violators are white males.
Most victims do NOT recieve justice and are victimized. America continues to appropriate and hyper sexualize Native culture.
I am Seneca. Native women must be heard. American culture enables the targeting of Native women and disregards justice for us.
FIGHT RAPE CULTURE & MISOGYNY FOR EVERYONE!
ON ALL FRONTS!

Undocumented Women in USA Forced To Give Birth While Shackled And In Police Custody
“Shackling during childbirth is illegal in 14 states and is against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy. But women being held for immigration-related offenses classified as “criminal offenses” can still legally be handcuffed to their hospital beds by state authorities in the 36 other states. Those women can also be denied the right to have a family member in the birthing room, or to hold their newborns for longer than 24 hours.”

Felt like a good time to re-blog this (again, for like the fourth time).
forever reblog
In Susan Wicklund’s book This Common Secret (the one I quoted a few times yesterday), she said the staunchest, scariest protesters, the ones who followed her home, jumped her in alleys, and waited for her at airports, were always men. Why do men feel like they get to have any say in what goes on between a doctor and a uterus owner?
