Yesterday, I stood silently with Norwich Women in Black - part of a global movement opposing war and promoting justice.
I was distracted by goldfinches singing in a city centre tree, prompting me to write about the ecological impacts of war.

#WomenInBlack
March 8, 1995 - Women in Black demonstrated in the center of Belgrade, Serbia, on International Women's Day, expressing solidarity with Kosovar women: "The Albanian women from Kosovo are our sisters." The women were both spit at and kicked, but didn't give up, and stood there to the end of the usual hour. Though Kosovo is overwhelmingly (90%) ethnically Albanian, it is considered the national and religious birthplace of Serbians. Both Kosovo and Serbia had been part of the former Yugoslavia, which had granted partial autonomy to Kosovo in 1974. Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic (later tried for war crimes) in 1989 withdrew that autonomy and revoked the official status of the Albanian language in Kosovo.

I asked if they had any social media so I could tag them but I can’t find anything on any social media app. There are chapters all over the world but I can’t find a general one or a YEG one.

El movimiento #WomenInBlack nace de la necesidad de visibilizar y concienciar de que los asesinatos de mujeres y disidentes de género a manos de hombres se han convertido en una rutina normalizada con la que la sociedad convive sin que suponga una alteración del orden social.
