Guess who managed to carve out some quiet time on a Sunday morning to read? This girl. Happy to recommend a few noteworthy pieces I've read about #Africa #WomensRights #Feminism - a Sunday roundup also known as #EyalaReads. Grab a seat, fam, we have a lot to catch up on!
I don't usually include threads in my #EyalaReads but @SheCantGo shared a great recap of what Namibian #feminist's #ShutItAllDown campaign is about.
Gender-based violence is rampant and the government's response is inadequate at best. Enough!

Another thread about another important protest: Young people across #Nigeria have taken their rage against police brutality to the streets and I am so inspired by their courage and solidarity. This thread by @republicjournal gives some context. #EndSARS https://twitter.com/republicjournal/status/1314592261049659394?s=20
"To dare be vocal about (...) women's denial of rights over land is challenging the very core of patriarchy". Powerful tribute by @RosebellK to late #Afrifem land rights activists Fadila M. (Morocco) & Esther Mwikali (Kenya).

In the DRC, 50+ women have accused Ebola aid workers from @WHO and INGOs of sexual exploitation and abuse. Every line of this investigation by @newhumanitarian & @TRF_Stories is infuriating, and I don't know what to do with all the rage.

I really enjoyed @emilyhash's essay about coming out to her Japanese side of her family. Perfect summary by @outmagazine: "A queer author of color on the limits of language and the maximums of love."

One of my fav sessions of last year's amazing @adventurefrom's live festival was about "Raising Kids Without Sexual Shame" with @kinnareads @OhTimehin @kobbyagraham & Fatime Faye. This recap is a timely read on #DayOfTheGirl

"I am done folding myself up to fit your stereotype.
Your black friend.
Your headline.
Your African Queen Meme.
Your hurt feelings.
Your desire to learn the rhetoric of solidarity
without the practice."
Assetou Xango's poetry is FIRE!!

Happy reading, happy Sunday my friends! And while I have your attention: Eyala is progressively evolving into a collective initiative, so here you will find less "I" and more "we". More details later. If you're interested in keeping up with my shenanigans, follow me @F_Moudouthe!
