مگر میشود ظلمی که در این تاریخ بر زنان این سرزمین شده با تمام وجود لمس نکرده باشی؟!
زنان قهرمانی که قربانی ریشه های پیچ در پیچ خشونت در این‌جغرافیا بوده اند؛ اما از پا ننشستند تا فرزاندانشان twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
سربلند زندگی کنند...
زنانی که در برابر ظلمی که به آنان شده، عصیان می کنند و منتظر منجی نمی مانند...
مادرانی که به جرم خونخواهی فرزندشان، به بند کشیده شدند؛ اما نشکستند و راسخ تر شدند...
زنانی که با تنی سرد، ده ها و صدها هُرم آفتاب را درون سرمای سوزان زندان تجربه کردند و از امید

مادران سوخته دلی که شکنجه و تحقیرشان کردند؛ اما شعله درونشان فرو که نه؛ تازه، زبانه کشید...
زنانی که فرزندشان را در چاردیواری زندان به دنیا آوردند و آزاده بزرگش کردند...
زنانی که پشت در زندانِ مردان نامرد، در آرزوی به آغوش کشیدن فرزندشان مو سپید کردند.

Luddites weren't anti-machine activists, they were pro-#worker advocates, who believed that the spoils of automation shouldn't automatically be allocated to the bosses who skimmed the profits from their #labor and spent them on machines that put them out of a job. 3/
