A woman doesn’t owe children to anyone. Not to society that fears a ‘dying generation.’ Not to a husband who expects heirs. Not to parents or in-laws dreaming of grandchildren. Research in South Asia shows that unintended pregnancies in married women range from 11.9 to 28.4 percent. Postpartum depression affects 13.5 to 22.3 percent of women in the region. Many of these women have children not because they wanted to, but because of family or societal pressure. It’s crucial to communicate this clearly with your partner before marriage, so expectations are managed. But at the end of the day, motherhood is not a duty. Her life, her body, her choice.

The shame built around menstruation is not Islamic! It’s a reflection of one’s sick mind.

And for the sisters who loose their brothers in youth, may the story of Bibi Sughra and Ali Akbar bring you peace 😭💔

For those who don’t know:
Bibi Sughra (s.a) and Ali Akbar (a.s) were bound by a love only siblings understand, quiet, protective, and deeply rooted. Left behind in Madinah due to illness, she longed for her brother, unaware that Karbala was writing their farewell.

As Ali Akbar (a.s), in the prime of his youth, walked towards martyrdom, a letter from Sughra (s.a) arrived, filled with love and yearning, but it reached just as his final moments approached. A message of a sister who missed him, and a brother who would never return.

With no due respect, save your “not all men” before I shove it up your a

It’s always a man. And it’s enough men to make us wary of all men. Period.

S3xual violence has been documented across every possible category of victim, fully covered women, uncovered women, children, men, the elderly, family members, and even animals.

Research consistently shows that r@pe is not driven by s3xual desire or visual provocation, but by power, control, and entitlement.

The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies s3xual violence as an act of power and coercion, not attraction.
The American Psychological Association (APA) notes that perpetrators are motivated by dominance, anger, and control rather than s3xual need.

Studies across multiple countries show that most victims know their abuser, often within family or trusted circles, where clothing is irrelevant.

Child s3xual abuse data from UNICEF and the CDC further dismantles the provocation myth, infants and children, who cannot dress provocatively, are still targeted.

Cases of assault against elderly individuals and people with disabilities reinforce the same pattern, vulnerability is exploited, not clothing.

When victims range from infants to the elderly, from fully covered women to animals, there is no shared variable in what they wore.

The only consistent factor is the perpetrator.

It was never about clothing.
It has always been about power.
