This one is very shocking, there's lots of things it covers: Abuse in general, religious abuse, psychological abuse, self harm, fat{phobia/misia}, misogyny, power dynamics etc. We still recommend watching it if you can deal with those things and the content warnings in the video because it shows the truth of the companies behind your favourite games and the systems which demand inexpense which leads to abuse and other awful things.

Funfact: AboTak! is a play of word - Abo is short for "abortion", Tak means "yes", together it will be translated as "just because".

Abortion Without Borders and Abortion Dream Team - the biggest abortion providers network in Poland and Europe opens their own clinic. But it's fully funded by individual donations, so abortionists ask you for support. Any, even the smallest, donation will be a huge help!

If you can organize some kind of fundraiser, like event/auction or anything else, please contact with AboTak via email [email protected]

The more they try to ban abortion, the more we expose it to the sun. That's why WE OPEN THE FIRST STATIONARY ABORTION CLINIC IN POLAND! WE ARE OPENING AN ABOTAK CLINIC IN WARSAW!

We call ourselves the Abortion Dream Team, and for years we have been doing much more than the Polish state to expand access to abortion in our country. Eight months have passed since the change of power, and legal abortion or even abortion guidelines from the Ministry of Health are still not in sight. That's why we're not waiting idly for a change, and we're opening a space that will set standards and identify good practices of abortion care, put pressure on the government to introduce appropriate laws, and on doctors to learn how to do surgical abortions in accordance with WHO guidelines. It will also be a space where you can find our colorful sweatshirts and t-shirts, as well as works by Polish female artists and books in the climate of the ABOTAK clinic! But in order for this miracle on the Vistula to come to fruition, we need cash! Contribute to our fundraising for the premises and become an ambassador of ABOTAK clinic!

Kate has always stood loud and proud as a voice for body positivity and feminism.

The [email protected] community has long since become the largest Lemmy community. In acknowledgement of that, I have decided in consultation with @[email protected] to lock this community and redirect.

Personally, I am male and only took on the mod post to make sure Lemmy had a feminism community in the early days of Lemmy, so I'm happy to cede the title to a more vibrant community. If someone wishes to attempt to revive the lemmy.ml community, please get in contact.

The Palestinian brewery is now run by a woman, Madis Khoury, which adds an extra layer of complexity. “Being in a male-dominated country, an Arab country, and under occupation, it’s four or five times harder than anywhere else,” she says.

The Haitian people are once again facing imperialist interference in their fate. The island in the Caribbean is experiencing growing violence and systematic violations, control over territories by armed groups, repression, and subjection of the people’s interests to transnational capital. Living conditions in urban and rural areas are becoming dramatically worse. The access to food and the circulation of peasant production has been deeply affected. This is precisely why they are at the center of the popular peasant feminist resistance. Amid this situation, the UN, which has been historically responsible for military interventions that have led to increasingly profound social and political problems, is once again working in line with US imperialism. On the video below, Islanda Micherline, of La Via Campesina Haiti, denounces the role of countries in the Global North that, through the UN Core Group for Haiti, have been operating the new attempt to intervene in the country. Grassroots organizations and movements demand the 2021 Montana Accord, which expresses the unity of the Haitian people toward a peaceful political transition guided by people’s sovereignty. In rural and urban areas, Islanda argues, Haitian women propose economic strategies for this transition, in the sense of building agroecology, solidarity economy, and food sovereignty, goals that can only be achieved through the peoples’ self-determination and a people’s government. From across the Americas, women continue to stand in internationalist, anti-imperialist solidarity for a dignified, sovereign Haiti free from occupation. Islanda Micherline addresses the challenges facing Haitian peasant women and their strategies for self-determination and people’s sovereignty in the video below:

Women From Haiti Facing New Imperialist Interference

has been doing these casual roundtable conversations lately and they fucking rule

Archived: https://archive.is/2CUnZ

Hours before the ruling, a group representing the woman, whose fetus received a fatal diagnosis, said she was leaving Texas for an abortion.

TIJUANA, Mexico — Just over a decade ago, when Crystal Pérez Lira needed an abortion, she had to leave Mexico. The procedure was illegal in her home state of Baja California and so deeply stigmatized that even Pérez Lira supported the procedure only for those who were raped. Until she unexpectedly got pregnant.

She traveled to the U.S. for help, walking alone across the border from Tijuana to San Diego, first for a health check and a compulsory ultrasound, and then back for a second appointment, when she was given pills to induce an abortion. She returned to Mexico, where she went through the procedure at a friend’s house.

Today, the cross-border help moves in the opposite direction. Pérez Lira is part of a network of activists across Mexico who provide advice, emotional support, and free medications to those seeking abortion — including, increasingly, people living in U.S. states where abortion is sharply restricted. These volunteer groups, known as “companion networks,” have been quietly sending abortion pills across the border, often to vulnerable people who lack funds or immigration papers, and training volunteers in the U.S. to establish their own companion networks.

These activists operate outside the health care system, working to create abortion access even in places where doctors face prosecution for assisting with the procedure.

“They’re being very underground,” Pérez Lira said, explaining that she couldn’t put a STAT reporter in touch with the U.S.-based networks. “It’s very, very secretive.”

Bloodys Red Tijuana, the group Pérez Lira founded in 2016, a few years after her own abortion, received its first request for abortion pills from someone in the U.S. in the summer of 2019. Three years later, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision eliminated constitutional protections for abortion, just as Mexico’s Supreme Court decriminalized the procedure.

Over the past two years, Pérez Lira said, the group has supported around 60 people living north of the border, distributing not just pills but also information on how to safely manage an abortion. “We’re migrating the way we’re working,” she said. “We’re migrating that mission into the U.S.”
