Be kind. Always. Wise words by @lifeinahmadsdays #lifeinmydays #kindness
One year ago today Lina Abojaradeh Art shared with us her incredible article about International Women’s Day. 
PD: painting of Rachel Corrie in front of the bulldozer that killed her.

On this women’s day, we give our thanks to Malini Chib, She is an Indian disability rights activist with cerebral palsy. She is the founder and co-chairperson of ADAPT (Able Disable All People Together) rights group that focuses on acquiring rights for persons with disability, and leads micro and macro Disability rights advocacy efforts in India. She has helped organize 'Inclusive Job Fair' for disabled youth. She also conducts Empowerment and sensitization courses for individuals, corporates, parents, professionals and rights activists. (Wait, It gets better), She is also a writer, In December 2010, Chib wrote her first book, an autobiography One Little Finger, (she literally wrote the entire book with one finger). She also wrote a chapter titled I Feel Normal Inside. Outside, My Body Isn’t! in the anthology Disability, Gender and the Trajectories of Power. She is an amazing woman that has graced us with her mere presence.

Basically, she is badass. 
You can find out more about the work she does over here: http://www.adaptssi.org/AdaptRightsGroup.html #internationalwomensday #malinichib
On this Women’s day we thank Radha Bheel, an Indigenous woman from Sindh, Pakistan and let’s just say, she is making liberating moves. She is the founder of Rural Advancement Development and Human Rights Association (RADHA) which is a woman headed and women focused indigenous rights organization. It focusses its advocacy on the right of Indigenous minorities such as Bheel, Menhwar, Kolhi, Gurgila etc in Pakistan’s Sindh Region.  The core function of the organization includes promoting Human Rights, Education, Health, Safe Drinking Water, and Women Empowerment. Bheel is also the chairperson of Dalit Sujaag Thehreek, a secular socialist democratic Political movement for the social and political empowerment of Dalits in Pakistan. (Basically, she is courage and brilliance personified)

As a child she picked cotton in order to get by, and then was married off before finishing school. Her fight for liberation started at home, she fought her way to finishing her education, and then through giving back as much as she could. She considers stepping her foot outside the home as her first step towards successi. When taking about why she chose to dedicate her life to Rights Activism She writes (Roughly Translated) “Our mothers, who spent their entire lives behind veils (pardah), are kept illiterate and forcefully ignorant. They are discriminated against within family and at societal level. They are malnutritioned, deprived of education, forced to have too many children, and are kept economically dependent and furthermore, their long hours of un accounted labor is what forced me to think differently.” We thank you for thinking differently, it is because of you that so many women’s lives are better.
