Feminists speak up

Out of the 1.9 million people displaced in Gaza, close to one million are girls and women. An estimated 9,000 Palestinian women have been killed by Israeli forces so far. That’s a rate of 63 women killed every day. There are an estimated 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza, with over 180 giving birth daily, without any anesthesia or meds or fully functional hospitals. An estimated 37 mothers are killed daily, leaving their families devastated and their children with diminished protection — at least 17,000 children in the Gaza Strip are unaccompanied or have been separated from their relatives since the beginning of the genocide on October 7th. There is no food or water and most of Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed. A man-made famine is setting in. At least 20 people have died from malnutrition and dehydration in northern Gaza. The time to speak up is now.
