🍃 Essential eco hoodie - Society is Ruthless

"Society is ruthless." These words echo louder when you witness the harrowing realities faced by women giving birth amid war in Sudan. In a nation torn apart by conflict, hospitals have crumbled, supplies have vanished, and fear has replaced safety. Yet, amid destruction, women continue to bring life into the world—often alone, in silence, in pain. Their courage is unmatched, their resilience extraordinary, but the world often looks away. Society’s ruthlessness reveals itself not only in the bombs and the gunfire but in its apathy—the way it allows women to suffer in the margins, unheard and unseen.

This powerful story—told by UN Women—brings to light the strength of Sudanese women navigating the impossible: war, birth, and survival. Read it here: www.unwomen.org/en/news-stories/feature-story/2024/11/navigating-war-birth-and-hope-in-sudan
