Across France, students are taking to the streets and blocking school entrances to demand a better education system, with protests highlighting overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, deteriorating school facilities and deep inequalities in access to education.

Amid these protests, one student is speaking out in solidarity with the girls at his high school over the lack of menstrual products in schools. Fighting for a fairer education system also means addressing the everyday barriers that prevent students from learning with dignity.

The future of midwifery in the United States is at risk, and we need to be paying attention. As maternity care deserts expand and labor and delivery units close, the country is facing a maternal health crisis that demands more midwives, not fewer pathways into the profession.

Yet systemic racism, financial barriers, and bureaucratic failures are making it harder for aspiring midwives to complete their education and obtain licensure. Recent changes to midwifery accreditation have left students across the country uncertain about their futures, threatening an already strained workforce at a time when communities urgently need access to care.

The US, the richest country in the world, has now fallen below the WHO benchmark for midwives with just 4 per 1000 births available.

For FEMINIST, Sarah Michel Hamid (Sarah Michal Hamid, Doula) tells her story, along with lionsroarbirthservices, Juju Angeles as they share their experience in this broken system and highlight what is at stake for student midwives and the future of birth work in the United States.

Today is World Homeless Day. Our unhoused neighbors deserve love, care, and support — not shame, criminalization, and judgement. Homelessness isn’t about bad choices, it’s about bad systems. We don’t need to know why someone is unhoused to know they deserve housing.

📢 Institutions that allow sexual violence to go unchecked will never have the comfort of our silence 📢

Survivors should never have to fight for accountability alone. And across the country, people are showing up in person to make sure they know they aren’t.
Yesterday, for : From the Frat House to the White House, survivors, students, youth organizers, and feminist organizations gathered at rallies, protests, and actions in communities and on campuses nationwide, with more than 150 actions across the US.

In New York City, Team FEMINIST gathered with demonstrators gathered at Foley Square to stand in solidarity with Cornell’s Jane Doe, LSU’s Kendall Francis, Epstein survivors, and all survivors and demand accountability.

At a time when survivors are once again watching powerful institutions decide whether they will be held accountable, showing up matters. It makes solidarity visible. It reminds survivors that people are paying attention, that their experiences have not been forgotten, and that they do not have to demand justice alone.

Feminist movements have always been built through collective action, through people coming together, raising their voices, and refusing to let injustice go unchallenged. Yesterday was a reminder that this work continues, in the streets, on campuses, and wherever people choose to stand alongside survivors.

Bernadette Greene-Placentia, a Democratic congressional candidate in Arizona, says she was sexually assaulted while repairing a campaign sign in August. She was attacked by two men, struck over head and when she regained consciousness one of the men was ra**ng her.

She initially struggled to speak about the assault, describing feelings of embarrassment, anger, and gaps in her memory - an experience many survivors can relate to - before reporting it to police and deciding to share her story publicly.

Her experience comes amid broader concerns about the harassment and violence women face in public life. Nearly all women lawmakers in the US report experiencing harassment, while 20–30% of women journalists have considered leaving the profession because of threats and abuse. In Europe, one in six Members of the European Parliament has been targeted by sexualised deepfakes.

The story also broke as we grieve with Cornell’s Jane Doe, LSU’s Kendall Francis, Epstein survivors and the justice they are yet to receive.

But the wider pattern raises urgent questions about who gets to participate safely in public life, and at what cost. When women face harassment, threats and sexual violence for doing their jobs, the consequences extend beyond individual survivors. Without women’s full and safe participation in public life, democracy cannot truly represent the people it serves.
