A thread was zapped because racism and mysogyny.

Potholes highlighted this charity in the thread.

Let's show them some support, however we can.

Thanks.

Thank you!! I'd wanted to check it out.

Gurufloof · 04/03/2021 22:05

Bumping cos yeah.

Erkrie · 04/03/2021 22:22

Thanks purple.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 04/03/2021 23:03

I thought I'd imagined that thread (had a glass or two 🍷) but relieved I've not gone mad.

But yes. Potholes has rocked this week.

This is something you might be able to post on public social media. Not Karma Nirvana specific, but around the issue of raising awareness of forced marriage.

ArcheryAnnie · 04/03/2021 23:14

Thanks for this - I hadn't heard of them, and they look great.

OhHolyJesus · 04/03/2021 23:20

I remember not being able to watch that video all the way through. Heartbreaking.

I will donate. I missed the zapped thread but there's loads going on to focus on rather than feed trolls.

There's too much work to be done.

Conniethesensible · 04/03/2021 23:21

Why’d it get zapped? This is a fantastic charity. Nothing honourable about Honour based violence

PotholeParadies · 04/03/2021 23:31

I've just realised that KN have a shop, where you can buy mugs, charm bracelets, pin badges and the founder's book.

Bumpy

littlbrowndog · 04/03/2021 23:34

Better this than all the notice other threads are currently getting 🤦‍♀️

ValancyRedfern · 04/03/2021 23:37

Karma Nirvana are an amazing charity. Why zapped? Who's in favour of honour killings around here?!?!?

I had to look up what the spoon brooches were about. What a great idea:

Curlyshabtree · 05/03/2021 00:00

My dts school has been involved with this charity. I think the spoon idea was from one of their teachers. Great work being done.

MaudTheInvincible · 05/03/2021 00:06

Oh my god I just had a few tears at the story of the spoons.

PotholeParadies · 05/03/2021 00:14

MaudTheInvincible

I know. Ever since I first read that story, I've not been able to forget it. Still, it also means the charity sticks in my head, too.

Honestly, womanittee, I think we're getting some quality feministing done tonight. At least 7 extra anti- FGM t-shirts ordered, and I got cued to tell you about a charity that isn't exactly a household name.

greyinganddecaying · 05/03/2021 00:19

Karma nirvana are excellent - I follow them on Facebook but didn't know about the spoons story, that's inspired!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/03/2021 00:29

Oh wow, read the spoon story.

iklboo · 05/03/2021 00:30

@Conniethesensible - it got zapped because the person who started it made racist comments disguised as feminism.

PurpleHoodie · 05/03/2021 06:53

Oh the spoons. Sad

Am going to have to buy a brooch or two.

Thanks again Pothole.

Fantastic work Pothole
What do you think about starting a new thread with all these charities listed in it? Other users could then add the details of other charities and perhaps MNHQ could pin it to the board?
Hopefully then we’ll be feministing correctly Wink

PurpleHoodie · 05/03/2021 07:30

Good idea Faffertea

I've donated for IWD. I have heard Jasvinder Sanghera speak before. Amazing woman.

Oh fabulous.

Thanks for this OP, I was not aware of this charity.
