It's that time of the week again! The time when I catch up with dozens of articles I've bookmarked all week, and share my favs with you all. As usual, it's all about #Feminism
#WomensRights & #Africa.
Grab a drink and a comfy seat. We're doing this!

What does #StayAtHome mean when home is where you are most oppressed? @africasacountry shares the perspective of LGBTQI people in #Senegal where some leaders speak of #COVID19 as divine punishment of same-sex love. Terrifying.

Another source of concern: how world leaders are misusing #COVID19 response measures to restrict their citizen's human rights, including gender justice. Interesting overview by @LatanyaFrett of @GlobalFundWomen in @5050oD

What does a #COVID19 #feminist economic recovery plan look like? The analysis so far has come from women's rights orgs, not policymakers. So this @thelilynews interview of @PolishedJaded about the US state of Hawaii's plan is an exciting read.

If you too are desperate for non-COVID related news, or just good news, you probably celebrated the announcement of a law banning female genital mutilation in #Sudan. This piece reminds us that the law is a milestone, not a victory.

To say that I experienced major FOMO after missing @awdf01's Flourish retreat would be an understatement. I enjoyed this recap, made of interviews of organizer @stillSHErises and several participants. Such an inspiring vision!

ICYMI: In Eyala's #AfrifemInAction series, @TheJamaJack tells me about MÉBÉT, the movie she wrote to help #EndChildMarriage, how she's using it to mobilize communities, and how this initiative feeds her growth as a #feminist.
