Hi everyone!
This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly.
The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me!
Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!!
However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”!
I’d like to insist on two things:
1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked!
2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel!
For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :)
Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!!
Lots of love and stay safe!
PS: I you repost this cartoon of mine on twitter or instagram, please add me in the post so I can see it, with @itsmaeril :)
As you probably know, Punish A Muslim day is coming up on the third of April. Any Muslim who lives in England is in danger so please stay home. Don’t send your children to school. DON’T GO OUT on the 3rd of April. My non Muslim friends, please reblog this, one of your followers could benefit from it.
Because NCT is a limitless group and it’s already implemented as their concept. It’s an experiment & I think it’s unique; SM tries to develop different and unique concept for each of their groups and this is why they are special because they stand out from the norm.
Furthermore, they get to rotate within the group and it’s cool because each of them are able to maximise their strength and learn from each other and they continue to grow and expand their knowledge within the group in terms of skills and diversity. As they grow, they’re also able to reach out to almost every of their fans as their concept allows them to communicate in many languages because of how diverse the members are.
I think it’s important that we try to accept NCT for their unique concept and have faith in them to be the breadwinner in SM in the future. This is something we have talked about for a very long time.
I don’t know how far SM is planning on going but i dont want nct to have more members. We have 18 members and we love them all so much and i think this is enough. Why do we need more? Just move on and make another group with another name for the rookies. Idk🤷🏻♀️
1. No one asked but I put stranger things theme song over nctmentary 3 2. The last part of the video was a transition of the theme to the original soundtrack of the nctmentary 3. <i>Enjoy the thrill</i>
