On International Women’s Day Remember The Hamas Hostages

As we celebrate International Women’s Day today it is imperative that we speak of the girls and women, mothers and daughters, aunts and friends who have been kidnapped in GAZA since October 7, 2023.

According to a UN Report, the violence perpetrated against them is horrific:

“Based on the information it gathered, the mission team found clear and convincing information that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment has been committed against hostages and has reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing against those still held in captivity,” the report says.

14 of the female Hamas hostages are believed to be alive.

Below are the names and faces of the 14 female hostages in Gaza.

On International Women’s Day Say Their Names.

      How in the world do hostages have any agency or choice?

        i dont know why people choose to annihilate each other. these people lacked the privilege to escape.

        frankly i’m more concerned about climate change that is slowly baking us because the Firsties must have their privileged per mobiles.

        I’m not a Jew, just a Benthamite Hippie surviving on $20000;year after two defective kids and my AVM bleed at 52 bankrupted us. $100000 for first-born’s 3 hip procedures and childhood spent in fetid hip spica casts. $1/4 mil for a 27-week preemie after a LEEP.

        Then my stroke at 52 while transcribing from a weekly rent motel. local peacehealth discharged me to street at1am. squatted in a parkimg garage for a week saiting for aneyrysm repair in portland.

        so yeah, heartbreaking, as is the fact that 15% of kids in Eugene are food insecure but our civic leaders spent millions on a new city hall and want more for a new baseball stadium. but have closed the only hospital, meaning if an earthquake should topple bridges over the wilamette, millions will die in agony.

        Lotsa pain in this world. If you know any way to fix it

    So heartbreaking! When will the world wake up and put pressure on Hamas to release these girls and all the hostages? It’s an outrage! Thank you for posting the photos of these young women. If only every international news outlet would do the same.
