For members of Ukraine's LGBT community, the threat of Russia's full-scale invasion is monumental. Should Putin succeed in capturing their territories, they will face a harsh crackdown on their rights. #IWMFFellow Anna Prizkau reports for @faznet: ow.ly/w6yf50W3LCE

From grinding dal to layering rooftops before the rains, to singing together when a child is born — women in rural India move through work and community like second nature. These everyday acts aren’t always documented, but they hold the village together. 🌾☔🎶 #WomenAtWork

36 years ago today, thousands of courageous students, workers and others filled Tiananmen Square, demanding freedom, democracy, and a government that served its people. The Chinese government responded with tanks, bullets, and blood. No one knows the true death toll from that night. Hundreds, possibly thousands, were killed. Survivors were hunted down, tortured, and jailed. To this day, Beijing censors the truth, bans remembrance, and tries to erase what happened on June 4th from public memory. Yet still, brave activists continue to risk everything for a freer China.
