Dear Friends,
I could have posted more of the atrocious horror of children being slaughtered in the genocidal bloodbath taking place in Gaza, but I’m posting this inspirational message instead! The courage, dignity, decency and moral messaging from this man is exemplary.
What will it TAKE to STOP KILLING CHILDREN????!!!
Over TWENTY THOUSAND so far!! Can you imagine this taking place in YOUR country???

Dear Friends,
As dark as it can get…
Gaza - Congo - Sudan - Ukraine…
War totally destabilises people’s lives, with the most vulnerable being CHILDREN!
The recent cuts directly affect
human beings, who are not just numbers.
James Elder (@james_unicef) of @unicef shares the most disturbing truth in this clip.. Yet he speaks of HOPE over DESPAIR.
I think it’s important that we are AWARE as to what is taking place in every war torn country in the world. THIS is why International Human Rights matter. We can’t afford to have them eroded.

Dear Friends,
I share and post these clips and from Gaza with a HEAVY heart.
This world is filled with conflict - injustice - cruelty and inequity at every turn. It seems to be the human condition. Our very existence is be a test of endurance. Children are borne into circumstances of poverty, war, abandonment and suffering. I have witnessed and experienced all of this close up and first hand… yet THIS is something I CANNOT ignore.
I am appalled, disturbed, enraged, frustrated and often despairing.
HOW CAN ANYONE SUPPORT and ENDORSE THIS SUFFERING??!!!
And of COURSE I ache for the families of hostages who have been caught up in this nightmare. Anti - Semitism is abhorrent. I MUST keep saying this as the gas-lighting is deeply offensive and absolutely corrosive.
FEED PALESTINIAN CHILDREN
STOP KILLING THEM!!!!!

Dear Friends,
This is a cry of desparate HUNGER!!!
You WON’T FIND THIS IN THE MEDIA HEADLINES because they either don’t care - or don’t want you to know.
The suffering of the Palestinian people doesn’t matter to them.
International Human Rights have GONE!!!!
The saying of ‘NEVER AGAIN’ means nothing and is of no consequence.
Mass displacement and genocide is happening in plain sight while life just steps over and around it.
Absolutely devastating.

Dear Friends…

This precious child… Holding two dolls that once belonged to two other little girls, who were just like her. The ‘war’ made them martyrs she says…

Look at the trauma she holds in her little body.. She’s been exposed to hell on earth.

She says “This war taught us everything”…Think about that for a moment.

She will never ‘unsee’ the horror she has witnessed. Never ‘unknow’ every traumatic lessons she has learned.

This is NOT NORMAL!
This is ABSOLUTELY IMMORAL!
This is WRONG in every sense of the word!!

And in saying this - I must EMPHASISE that I say the same for every child of any ethnicity.

I call for PEACE and CEASEFIRE
on behalf of THIS LITTLE GIRL and ALL THE CHILDREN who are caught in hellish landscapes like Gaza.

Dear Friends,
Please listen to @misanharriman post!
I’ve been holding such shock and outrage at the endless cruelty we have witnessed throughout this seemingly endless time.. All I’ve called for is an END to this carnage.
WHERE ARE THE HEADLINES?????!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA???!!!!!
WHERE ARE THE CELEBRITIES - THE MUSICIANS???!!!!!
THE ACTORS???!!!!
CAN YOU EVEN COUNT THEM ON THE FINGERS OF BOTH HANDS???!!!!!
ALL THOSE AMBASSADORS OF CHILDREN’S CHARITIES??!!!!
DO YOU SEE THE HEADLESS - SHREDDED - DISEMBOWELED - BURNED - BURIED - DEAD and DYING PALESTINIAN CHILDREN in their THOUSANDS????!!!!
WHAT is WRONG WITH YOU??????!!!!!!!

Dear Friends,
This is a VERY TOUGH post, but if you are in any way wavering about whether there’s any point in bearing witness.. let me just suggest..
You stand for the shredded and be - headed children, for the corpses blown skywards, for the countless bodies under rubble, those who were burned alive and screaming till their death.The tortured- dispossessed - shot at - bombed - starved - orphaned - wounded, traumatised and dehumanised … You bear witness to all these atrocities as testimony to ‘all humanity’.. You stand for the core values of International Human Rights, which should lie at the heart of your very foundation.

Dear Friends,
As each day passes we see unbearable images from the besieged place of hell that Gaza has become. Where, for 534 days of war, over 39,000 children are estimated to have lost one or both parents. Among them…17,000 have lost both parents.
And the world still turns.
Silence from global leaders.
Silence from the media.
SHAME ON THEM ALL.

Excited to announce that I’ve worked with @Soundwaves_Art again to create a limited collection of artworks made from the sound waves of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”. Each artwork has been hand-signed by myself and Soundwaves artist Tim Wakefield with profits benefiting @warchilduk—a nonprofit dedicated to protecting, educating, and providing psychosocial support to children in war zones worldwide—as well as my very own non-profit, @thecirclengo, where we are focused on creating a fairer and safer world for women and girls globally, working towards equality, security, and justice for those who need it most.

Only 100 Signed Prints and 4 Original Artworks available now. Link in bio & stories.

Dear Friends…
Some take away from this news item… After 16-17 months of absolute carnage the population is being crushed into an even smaller space.
Palestinians are now facing the full annihilation of Gaza.
Nothing can calculate the abhorrent catalogue of atrocities.
NO AID has been allowed in for over a month.
Over a hundred children have been killed or maimed every day for over the last ten days.
Every red line has been crossed.
15 rescue workers were executed and buried in a mass grave.
Multiple Palestinian journalists killed
A Red Cross Hospital was directly hit.
The only cancer speciality hospital was completely levelled.
Every single paediatric hospital has been destroyed or put out of service.
Palestinians are starving.
Children suffer from malnutrition having been starved for over a year and a half.

Dear Friends,
I had the good fortune to meet @allisonrussellmusic on stage through a fantastic concert at The Gorge in Seattle with @jonimitchell . We sat next to each other on a lilac couch while she played clarinet and we both sang back-up vocals with the Joni Jam peeps. I was immediately struck by her warmth and gentle kindness..
Subsequently we met on stage a couple of times more. Then she asked me if I’d like to record a song with her as a duet. I said ‘yes’ right away, without even hearing the song!
It turned out to be SUPERLOVER.. This one in the video! I love Allison most dearly..She’s a unique and special person and artist!
And I’m SO proud of this profound and haunting peace anthem we recorded together. It is absolute ‘balm’ for the soul in these troubled and troubling times…

Dear Friends,
What would it take to get children out of harms way?
Surely this is unconscionable??!!!
NO child should EVER have to be in the cross hairs of situations like this… yet TENS of THOUSANDS of CHILDREN are no longer alive, while even more have been horribly wounded and permanently damaged both mentally and physically.
I feel deeply ashamed of a world that hurts children…
As a mother I find it unbearable.

Dear Friends,
In the midst of great uncertainty..never ending wars, disputes, aggressions and intimidations… With pending climate catastrophe and the doomsday clock ticking seconds nearer to whatever is next to come.. I keep on banging the drum for the issue of GLOBAL FEMINISM.
Women and girls are still in great peril in countries where One in Three women will experience domestic or sexual violence in their lifetime. Where we have little to no agency over our bodies. Where girls are disempowered at every stage of their development..
We need ‘bridges’ rather than divides..communication rather than confrontation.
Global Feminism is an umbrella term that holds ‘inclusivity’ and ‘diversity’ at its core.
We need freedom from oppressive, tyrannical regimes in order to live our lives to our fullest potential!

P.S for the first time our Global feminist T-shirts are available to buy online. All proceeds go to support the work of @thecirclengo supporting and empowering women and girls globally - Link in my bio!

Dear Friends,
Imagine your child has been shot with a bullet in lodged in their brain. This is the real experience of ‘Mira.” You can watch it here. This isn’t unique.
Many children in Gaza have been shot in this way.
It’s a miracle that Mira survived.
Many haven’t made it.
How many more children have to be shot before this stops???
( I can hardly believe I’m writing this… it simply beggars belief, but THIS is the real situation )
