This #IWD2025 we are resharing our open letter in solidarity with our sisters in Palestine. We are now 17 months in to Israel’s genocidal assault. “For those of you who have remained silent on this issue, we want you to know that your silence is both hurting and harming us.”

Last night, we had the privilege to attend @LANT_ern "Women's Community Iftar" , I say privilege because it really is. To hear women like @RehanaFaisalH and @shana1Qbal speak with pure passion, emotion and honesty is truly inspiring. Luton is so blessed to have these powerful

It was such an incredible evening at the annual @LANT_ern Iftar. @RehanaFaisalH and @shana1Qbal's thought-provoking words truly made an impact. It's wonderful that they also supported @LutonFoodbank.

A lovely evening spent at the annual @LANT_ern Iftar surrounded by many influential women. Alhamdulillah we get to enjoy a wonderful feast after a day of fasting but this isn’t a privilege everyone gets. We were reminded of this with the words of @RehanaFaisalH and @shana1Qbal

This #internationalwomensday, menstruating women and girls have no access to sanitary products. They are forced to use tent scraps, plastic bags and tissues. Others are missing their periods completely due to the stress. There is no privacy, and insufficient access to water and soap to allow women to wash themselves and stay clean. 4/6

This #internationalwomensday, Gaza is on the brink of starvation. 84% of women in Gaza say that at least one of their family members are having to skip meals. In 95% of those cases, mothers are the ones going without food, skipping one or more meals to feed their children. 3/6
