From @Naureenksingh, USAF. #sisterhood #womenvets "In 1979, a young man who had recently immigrated to the USA started an application to join the U.S. Army with his turban and beard. He believed his application would be rejected. Somehow, the cards lined up and he was

offered to join the Army as an officer,
with his turban and beard intact. He thought of it as a good experience for a few years, and had every intention of leaving soon after. But when the U.S. Army changed it’s dress and appearance standards in the 1980s, 2/6

now forbidding turbans and beards, he realized he had even more reason to stay. He had to stay and fight those standards and continue to show he loved this country just as much as the soldier next to him.

The past 6 months have felt like 6 long, heavy years. I hope the rest of the year is brighter, but I'm grateful for the 6 lessons I've learned in the first 6 months of 2020. (Issa thread 👇🏾)

1. Hiding (from) trauma is not enough to heal it.
I thought I'd performed my way out of the pain #Racism had inflicted on me while I was living in France, but the way I've been triggered in the past months...

2. Sisterhood is everything. Nurture it and understand that it is about giving as much as it is about receiving.
3. It was never about finding my voice. It's all about having the courage to use it.

Happy Friday! We hope your day is going great. Following up on last week's #thread on Combating GBV during #COVID19. This week as part of #SexualAssaultAwarenessmonth our #thread touches on the rise of other #harmfulpractices against women during #COVID19 due to the lockdown.
This is a continuation of the conversations we have been having on how the #globalpandemic #covid19 is affecting the lives of girls and young women.
These conversations aim to ensure that we engage a #genderlens response mechanism during global pandemics ensuring the most vulnerable amongst us are not left out in the cold.
The layoffs in the media industry have hit many journalists hard. This is a stressful time for most, some have taken pay-cuts (of upto 50%) or have been asked to go on "leave without pay". Please know one thing- you are not alone in this. 1/n

Two of our members have opened their DMs to lend an ear to your worries. They are Durga Nandini & Raksha Kumar.Please feel free to send a DM to them and they will give you a patient hearing, for starters. 3/n

“Disinformation, emotional manipulation and outright deceit.” Conservative forces will do anything to deny women their sexual & reproductive rights. Exhibit I-lost-count: @openDemocracy's investigation in #Uganda. Chilling.

In #SouthAfrica too, healthcare providers are denying pregnant women - many of them as a result of rape - access to the safe abortion they need, request and are legally entitled to. @drtlaleng has had enough. Read her op-ed:

I've hardly read anything this week - this photo 👇🏾pretty much sums up my week. But I thought about what @Lusukalanga would do to me if I skipped my weekly #EyalaReads thread & decided I like being alive. So here are my #SundayRead suggestions on #WomensRights #Africa #feminism
My favorite: @SidrahMay wrote about being a visibly Muslim woman in Canada as a "stereotype-busting-Muslim-girl PR job" she's taken on since childhood. The exhaustion she so beautifully describes feels familiar. In @thismagazine

The @Commonswomequ just published a report on 'Enforcing the Equality Act: the law and the role of the Equality and Human Rights Commission'
Chapter 7 is dedicated to Balancing Rights in Single Sex Services
parliament.uk/business/commi…
The report highlights 2 particularly difficult areas:
1️⃣ commissioning single-sex services
2️⃣ the ability of organisations to use Equality Act exceptions
Single Sex Exemptions are re-outlined, with a quote from the @EHRC Codes of Practice
Ch 7: bit.ly/32W1Yax

1️⃣ Of concern: '... commissioners appeared to be commissioning gender-neutral services in breach of the public sector equality duty' and “that will not enable the aims of equality set out in the Equality Act to be full achieved.”
I've finally carved out enough quiet time to go through all those open tabs in my browser and read the articles I'd marked as "to read later"(87 tabs! Don't judge my life🤦🏾♀️) Sharing five outstanding pieces that put my #feminist brain on 🔥

My favorite: @FunmiB's spot-on piece about accountability between woke #feminist circles, and what it means for how we define #sisterhood. Published in the ever so excellent @AfriFeminists blog.

"Who does your humility serve?" Loved @TheJamaJack's glorious celebration of her own dopeness! But her insights on why many women shy away from embracing their greatness felt like a deep cut. A reminder for me to fight my impostor's syndrome.
