Resistance isn’t always loud. It’s a woman turning her home into a school after a raid. A mother replanting her garden for the third time. A student crossing checkpoints just to get to class. This is Sumoud, feminist resistance in everyday life: ow.ly/vcuP50WpfOQ

“The US has erased Ukrainians from peace talks—treating torture, rape & abductions as irrelevant.” Our laureate @avalania calls out this dangerous precedent and the urgent need for peace with justice: project-syndicate.org/magazine/ukrai…

In one week, Russia has carried out over 1,800 drone attacks, dropped over 1,200 aerial bombs, and fired 83 missiles at Ukraine. Russia is attacking civilians and peaceful cities. Because it cannot win on the battlefield.

In a world on fire, hope isn’t naïve, it’s necessary. On this #InternationalDayofHope, we honor the women who choose hope as action. They build peace. They fight for justice. They don’t give up.

They’ve fought to protect their river for over a decade. Now 8 Mazatec women defenders face false charges again. This isn’t justice. It’s retaliation. We stand with the women of Eloxochitlán. We demand protection, not persecution. ow.ly/O4BJ50WimmN

A woman detonated a bomb at a market in Nigeria last week, killing 12. This marks a deadly resurgence of suicide attacks in the Boko Haram conflict, where women are often used as weapons of war. Civilians must be protected. Peace must center survivors: ow.ly/w0IA50Wimel

As war becomes a pretext for authoritarianism, women like Narges remind us that peace is a feminist issue and a democratic one. We stand in solidarity with @nargesfnd and all those fighting for freedom under threat.
