In South Africa, millions of girls and women are forced to use newspapers, cardboard, cloth, and other makeshift materials because period products are simply unaffordable and out of reach.

Created by the MENstruation Foundation in partnership with the agency Joe Public and Independent Media, this striking campaign printed blood stains across newspaper pages, turning a familiar object into a powerful statement on what period poverty looks like for more than 4 million schoolgirls. Readers opened their newspapers to find what appeared to be a period stain bleeding through the front page and onto the pages that followed, a visual representation of a reality that many girls live with every month.

No one should have to miss school, opportunities, or everyday moments because they can’t access basic menstrual products. The conversation around menstrual health needs to happen every day, until period poverty is no longer a reality.

Thousands marched across Argentina to mark 11 years of , the movement born after the 2015 femicide of 14-year-old Chiara Páez. It has since become one of the most influential feminist movements in Latin America.
This year’s demonstrations were marked by the murder of another 14-year-old, Agostina Vega, whose death has shocked the nation and reignited calls to end gender-based violence.
According to monitoring organizations, 105 femicides were recorded in Argentina during the first five months of 2026—approximately one woman killed every 35 hours.

Almost three years after October 7, a new 300-page report details evidence of systematic s*xual violence by Hamas.

The Civil Commission on Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children , appointed specifically to investigate these crimes, published the most comprehensive report to date on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. It documents Hamas’ use of s*xual violence, r*pe, and “kinocide” during the attack on Israel.

Among the key findings are instances of gang r*pe, s*xual violence used to terrorize families, and cases where victims were forced to perform s*xual acts on each other. The digital documentation shared by the terrorists themselves on October 7 forms the foundation of the report.

Bear witness to their stories.

Argentines vow “Never Again”�Argentina pauses today to mark 50 years since the military coup that ushered in one of the most brutal dictatorships in South American history.
The anniversary of the so-called “dirty war”, a campaign against those labeled subversive, from guerrillas to union activists, students, and even Jewish psychiatrists, serves as a stark reminder that the wounds of that era have not fully healed.�Today’s march, led by factions of the Madres de Plaza de Mayo and Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, honors the disappeared and renews a collective pledge: “Nunca Más.”

Today on this 81 st anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps by Soviet troops, we pause and honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this day, let us try to remember the lives taken in the Holocaust. The horror, the brutality, the inhumanity. May we learn the history of what happened not only during the Holocaust, but of what led up to it. And may we all realize that today it is our responsibility to speak up and out about injustice.
To not allow human suffering to take place— whether it be about religion, politics, identity, etc.
May we continue to remember our past, so that we may never forget, and never forget to speak out!



Thank you

“The United Nations has failed to respond with the urgency this moment demands. The Secretary General himself has not spoken publicly against the massacre unfolding in Iran.”

Iranian-American activist Masih Alinejad delivers a scathing speech, pointed at both the UN and the regime in Iran, just feet from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s representative.

Masih Alinejad is an Iranian-American journalist and activist renowned for her fearless advocacy for women’s rights and freedom of expression in Iran. Forced to flee her homeland in 2009, Masih Alinejad is one of the regime’s most prominent critics, her distinctive hair is to them both a threat and a target. Having fought so long against the forced hijab, the physical symbol of savage political oppression, she has been urged by her FBI handlers to cover her hair to avoid being identified by assassins. Masih Alinejad has inspired a global movement advocating for human rights and personal freedom.
