Kulturrådet has funded our work documenting gender apartheid in Norway.

This funding will help more women share their stories—voices that must be heard. #Norway is a global leader in #genderequality; true leadership means confronting injustice.

Women in states with abortion bans are being denied necessary care, left with permanent organ damage, & are dying as a direct result of abortion bans

Yet, maternal mortality review committees are being disbanded or, as we see in TX, are choosing to disregard the deaths of countless women altogether

Laws that prevent women, including abuse survivors, from leaving the country with their children are a stark example of institutionalised discrimination—one of the many forms perpetuating #GenderApartheid.

It seems these fundamentalist theocrats heard us say “How stupid can they get?” and took it as a challenge.

Restricting access to education is one of the tools for enforcing #GenderApartheid.

Det føltes meningsfullt å holde foredrag på Nansenskolen på Lillehammer i går. Noen vil kanskje tro jeg bare lirer av meg en klisjé, men ærlig talt: Spørsmålene jeg fikk i etterkant tyder på særdeles våkne og oppegående elever - slikt gir meg tro på fremtiden.

Langsomt og stykkevis plukker jeg
Av meg alt jeg har på meg
Under skjorta mi er det en slagmark
Lager av våpen og krutt

Naken som en begynnelse
Naken som en blodig kniv
Naken som et forbudt dikt
Som diktet du leser nå
