It’s taken Freya & I a YEAR to raise just £3000 for Samah in Gaza, a single mother of 4 young children. Every week she asks me why we aren’t getting more. Freya & I have tried to supplement it where we can but we really need your help donating & sharing .

For @onlinehyphen this month I look at play space inequalities - the councils closing existing playgrounds due to slashed budgets and lack of funding and the housing developments missing them off from their blueprints .

For @trtworld I examined the origins of the St George flag-raising epidemic that has taken over England. What I discovered was very interesting and not surprising at all.
trt.global
A sudden surge of Saint George flags is being sold as a harmless show of national pride. But the movements behind it, and the racial hostility it emboldens, suggest something far more troubling.

Excellent piece by @YoussraSharkawy on @The_NewArab about the Arab women creating podcasts and YouTube channels to educate other Arab women on sexual health, breaking the silence, embarrassment and taboos .

Historically Muslims have always kept and tended to spectacular gardens. I love that this group are doing the same in London as well as tackling climate change and sustainability through growing food. Beautiful feature by @anitamureithii @onlinehyphen .

Safaa in Gaza faces an induction with no pain relief as painkillers are in short supply due to the Israeli Army blocking medical aid at the borders. If you’ve had an induction you’ll know how painful it can be. Please support her & her new baby if you can

Dear friends,
I’m 10 days past my due date, and baby girl still doesn’t want to come out. Doctors told me they have to induce labor tomorrow because it’s getting risky for the baby. Please pray for an easy delivery and the strength to handle the pain. My anxiety is through the roof 💔.
