Being Black. Being a woman. Why should either make life harder?
For women and girls of #AfricanDescent, discrimination can shape everyday life. But to prove the patterns and change them, we need the data to show where inequality is happening.

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a draft resolution that unequivocally condemns the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade as the most inhumane and enduring injustice against humanity.
123 in favour
3 Against (USA, Israel, Argentina)
52 abstentions
The resolution also seeks to recognize the profound and lasting impacts of the abhorrent regimes of slavery and colonialism and emphasizes that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent.

The child who was subjected to torture (including having cigarettes extinguished on his body and a metal rod inserted into his feet in front of his father)—
In a delayed video released by the occupation, the moment of his handover to the International Committee of the Red Cross is documented in the “Yellow Line” area east of Gaza, days after he was detained along with his father.
During his detention, he was subjected to severe abuses, while his father remains imprisoned by the occupation to this moment.

Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year.
According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually.
That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats.
Numbers don't lie. Our priorities do.
