tw // rape , sexual assault

in case you are still ignorant about what’s happening in India right now, here’s a link to numerous articles from news agencies highlighting it for you.

the first incident that sparked it off was in Hathras, a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh. a Dalit woman was gang raped almost two weeks ago but the case didn’t gain any major media coverage because it was, apparently, “normal”. she died a few days ago, and the Uttar Pradesh police cremated her body in the middle of the night at 2:40 AM without the consent of her family. they were locked inside their house and not allowed to see their daughter for one last time.

Balrampur: Anger grows after new India 'gang rape' death

The latest incident comes just as another woman died this week after being allegedly gang raped.

this is crucial. this is critical. this is atrocious. this might not be the brand of aesthetic that you have on your blog, but please help the people of our country spread this news. let the utter incompetence and evidence tampering to save the accused on the part of the police and the government be highlighted. let everyone know that the people currently in power care nothing for women or for minorities until it sparks national outrage, and then, and only then, do they even consider breaking a silence on a topic they should have spoken out on and taken the strictest action possible against so long ago.

i will do my best to keep this updated, but it is so emotionally and mentally exhausting, waking up every day to horror after horror and knowing that the government is doing nothing to help, has never done anything to help.

please make sure this news reaches as many people as possible. please, speak up. please keep talking about this. don’t let them fade away as yet another statistic.

Page 1: Hey- It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Yeah that’s right, we have today AND next month (Native American Heritage Month) now, get used to it!! Support us in these ways ->

Page 2: Support me! Surprise, I’m Diné! Support me by buying my art, sharing my art, or just liking my content. Also my venmo is @Julie-Fiveash. Gotta pay those grad school bills somehow! More->

Page 3: Find out what indigenous lands you reside on. Native-land.ca has a nifty site dedicated to showing indigenous lands. (I feel like we tell people all the time to “educate yourselves” but seriously, DO IT.) Okay so once you have this ->

Page 4: Support Indigenous communities! You can do this in a variety of ways!

- Donate to local ndn mutual aid funds.

- Donate to Indigenous led businesses, education institutions, elder care programs, and more.

- Ask your local museum/library/archive how they’re representing local tribes (repatriation maybe??)

- Support language revitalization programs.

- Support LGBTQ+ orgs that directly support queer Indigenous folks.

More ->

Page 5: Remember Indigenous Peoples are NOT a monolith. I suggested learning your local Indigenous Peoples because we don’t all practice the same customs or speak the same languages and I’m tired of explaining “no my tribe does NOT just give me free money-“ We have different needs and priorities and we’d appreciate it if you took the extra step supporting us in specific ways. Ways that WE say are most helpful.
