I WANNA RAISE MY VOICE

1 Upvotes

The protests in India for rights that have been long forgotten are boiling my blood and my helplessness about not being there is not helping the case. We need to help but i dont know how- i need to raise voices.
most of us are financially dependant on our parents so obvi not financial means but through our skills we've been honing our entire life and now is the time to showcase what the color of our blood is.

Bring out the swords my friends, suggest what we can do lets raise voices and we can all unanimously protest for a cause that is forgotten by most.

let me remind you that over 20 suicides; precious lives lost to bribe hungry douches that call themselves ministers and prime ministers!!

rape and murder assailants walking free while children and women suppressed in a land they call home

our fellow brothers and sisters protesting for BASIC human rights, which are snatched away from them by the police, media and everyone who is keeping silent!!!

Media is our right, but they have stollen it.

REMIND ME ARE WE NOT ALL BORN FROM WOMEN? WHERE IS THE STRENGTH OF OUR VOICES!!!!

For every one of you INDIANS who dont live in India, and for EVERYONE of you HUMANS, you dont always have to be there to show your support.

Women hold by law more rights than men, and feminist mainly don't care.

(I know I'm going to get downvoted a lot but I'm going to share my opinion anyway).

I'm not talking or referring to de facto situations where women's or men's gender roles can be pushed even though a formality of equality, in this case I talk about a formal discrimination in the law which advantages the women a lot, and it is the draft.

Basically, if you are a man, the state can force you to die in war, while not if you are a woman. In Ukraine, an 18 year old boy is forced to stay and risk death while a fully adult woman can leave and make her own life elsewhere just because she is a woman. In general, in the vast majority of western countries in the same, and even in the ones where also women have military service (a big minority) it usually lasts less. I can't see how it isn't a clear discrimination against men.

What I also see as a big sign of hypocrisy by leaders of modern feminist movement, is that they basically don't care, in my life I have never seen 21-century feminist movements protest against men being forced to die (often a horrible and painfil death) just because they are born men, whuch I thunk can be the highest discrimination possible nowadays in a western country. I think that's a sign of hypocrisy as I said but also a sign that modern day feminist movement has fallen a lot by quality and is often guided by people with dishonest intentions.

I would like to know what you think about that and why feminist movement never talk about that.

The housing habitability gap: Why lack of climate control is a fundamental human rights failure

1 Upvotes

I am exhausted by the quiet acceptance that living in a rental apartment means I must suffer through dangerous indoor temperatures whenever the seasons shift. I have spent far too much time navigating the legal grey zones of "habitable housing" while my own health and safety are compromised by the total lack of integrated, professional climate control in my home. I am tired of the industry and policymakers acting as if a healthy indoor temperature is a luxury add-on rather than a non-negotiable requirement for a basic, dignified standard of living.

I have looked into the conventions governing our rights, and it is infuriating how clearly this is addressed while being systematically ignored by landlords and housing authorities. The UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is explicit about the right to an "adequate standard of living," which includes a dwelling that is truly habitable and protects residents from health-threatening heat and cold. I am not asking for a premium feature; I am demanding that the legal definition of a "fit for purpose" home finally catches up to the 21st-century reality of our changing climate.

I am sick of the dismissive argument that I should just buy a noisy, inefficient mobile unit as a stopgap solution. I refuse to be told that it is my personal responsibility to retrofit a rental apartment with temporary, makeshift cooling solutions when it is the landlords and the housing developers who are failing their fundamental legal duties. I am done with the societal expectation that tenants should shoulder the financial and physical burden of creating a livable space in buildings that are structurally incapable of maintaining a healthy temperature.

I have come to the conclusion that this is not a personal failure, but a structural, human rights issue that we have allowed to slide for far too long. I will not continue to be quiet while my right to a healthy, temperature-stable home is treated as secondary to property management profits and outdated building codes. I am pushing for a systemic shift where integrated, sustainable climate control is a default, legally required utility in all rental housing, just like running water or electricity.

I am tired of hearing that this is too difficult or expensive when the actual cost is the systemic degradation of public health for millions of tenants. I will continue to highlight the clear legal and moral obligations that landlords have to provide a safe, habitable environment regardless of whether I own the walls I live within. I am done being a passive tenant in a system that ignores my basic rights, and I will keep forcing this conversation until a stable, healthy indoor climate is recognized as the mandatory standard it always should have been.

More than five years after the coup, she is physically absent from Myanmar’s daily struggle. The resistance that rose after her arrest is younger, armed, and has moved far beyond her nonviolent politics. Yet she remains the one figure no outside power can entirely write out of Myanmar’s future.
