The second one I'm watching now is about violence against women
I'm already having trouble watching the first few minutes, tears are welling up in my eyes
How can it be that we don't deal with this more often?
These women will suffer for a lifetime, struggle with the consequences and yet are only a marginal figure in the media
Every third day a woman is murdered in Germany, every third day, it breaks my heart

"We are today on day 215 of the war, and the attacks do not stop, the situation is heading towards genocide, dispersal, and displacement. We have no shelter, and everything we had has been bombed, and there are no words to describe the magnitude of the collapse we are suffering and the suffering we are going through. We are in danger, and at any moment we may lose our lives."

"We ventured out amidst growing tension, carrying a faint hope that we would return to our homes within two or three days, but reality was harsher than we imagined.
On our way, civilian evacuees were subjected to targeted attacks, and innocent victims fell everywhere. We reached Rafah, a city where we knew no one. We began to build our tents amidst the sand and stones, in a desperate attempt to create a temporary shelter..."
"The story began suddenly; we woke up to the sound of deafening rockets and violent explosions shaking the ground. These loud screams haven't stopped until now, and fear ran deep within us with every new roar.
Then came the shocking news: we had to leave our homes immediately and evacuate south towards Rafah. The orders were clear; everything in the north was vulnerable to bombing and invasion."

Five women were among six people stabbed to death in a shopping mall in Sydney last month. There have been protests during the past week against the rise in violence against #women in Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is calling it a national crisis. Tom Canetti with more. #Australia#Misogyny#Femicide

"“We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the #Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa #hospitals, including of #women and #children, with many reportedly showing signs of #torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.
"Over 8,000 others are reported missing or under the rubble – ...at least half of them can be assumed to be #women and #children... an estimated 63 women, including 37 mothers are being killed daily and 17,000 Palestinian children are believed to have been orphaned since the war on #Gaza began.
"the direct bombardment of #hospitals & deliberate denial of access to #health care facilities by #Israeli snipers... placing an estimated 50,000 pregnant #Palestinian#women & 20,000 new-born babies at unimaginable risk. Over 183 women per day are giving birth w/out pain relief, while hundreds of #babies have died because of a lack of electricity to power incubators... increases in miscarriages by up to 300%. 95% of pregnant & breastfeeding women face severe #food poverty”
