LA NOTIZIA: Benvenuti a Dubai!

L’Iran bombarda le monarchie del Golfo e vedo sui social tanta gente che è fuggita da Dubai e rimpiange quel lusso pacchiano. Ma come si fa a vivere a Dubai?

Gentile lettrice, in effetti Dubai è la città più pacchiana del mondo, un deserto morale e storico avulso da tutto, senza passato, cultura, tradizioni, una città di palazzi orribili che solo ai parvenu sembrano belli. Capisco i nativi, perché fino a due generazioni fa non sapevano leggere né scrivere, vivevano in tenda, non avevano mai visto una casa e un bel dì si sono svegliati miliardari. Ma sono una minoranza. A parte i turisti – frotte di miliardari ed escort che vanno lì per prostituirsi – Dubai ha 4 milioni di residenti, di cui 320.000 (l’8%) nativi, il resto immigrati. L’Emirato si regge sulle fatiche di milioni di asiatici: operai, camerieri, muratori… Tutti asiatici perché Dubai, come gli altri Paesi del Golfo, non vuole africani (il sottofondo razzista degli arricchiti). All’ingresso a Dubai ai lavoratori viene tolto il passaporto e potranno riaverlo solo a fine contratto, se il datore di lavoro è d’accordo. In altre parole, Dubai prospera sullo schiavismo. Ma chi va lì a cercare sfarzi se ne infischia. Ho visto il profilo social di una formosa influencer italiana, che vive a Dubai e nelle foto appare solo seminuda. Poiché è molto derisa nei commenti, in un video si rivolge ai followers con un tono angelico, rimproverando chi le manca di rispetto e sostenendo che lei usa rispetto e cortesia con tutti. Nei commenti un lettore chiede: “Scusa, ma che lavoro fai?” e lei risponde: “Ca**o vuoi? Sfigato”. Benvenuti a Dubai!

Welcome to Dubai!

Iran bombs Gulf monarchies and I see so much people on social media who have fled from Dubai and regret that pretentious luxury. But how do you live in Dubai?

Dear reader, in fact Dubai is the most pretentious city in the world, a moral and historical desert detached from everything, without a past, culture, traditions, a city of horrible palaces that only the nouveau riche find beautiful. I understand the natives, because two generations ago they didn’t even know how to read or write, they lived in tents, they had never seen a house and they suddenly woke up billionaires. But they are a minority. Besides the tourists – hordes of billionaires and escorts who go there to prostitute themselves – Dubai has 4 million residents, of whom 320,000 (8%) are native, the rest are immigrants. The Emirate is held together by the sweat of millions of Asians: workers, waiters, builders… All Asians because Dubai, like the other countries of the Gulf, doesn’t want Africans (the racist undertones of the wealthy). At the entrance to Dubai, workers have their passports taken away and they can only get them back at the end of the contract, if the employer agrees. In other words, Dubai thrives on slavery. But who goes there to seek extravagance cares little. I saw the social profile of a fiery Italian influencer who lives in Dubai and appears in the photos only nude. Because she is heavily ridiculed in the comments, in a video she addresses her followers with an angelic tone, scolding those who disrespect her and claiming that she treats everyone with respect and courtesy. In the comments, a reader asks: “Excuse me, what do you do?” and she replies: “What do you want? Loser.” Welcome to Dubai!

#Trans & #Intersex #History #Africa — Digital Archive

"It is important that we as #African trans, #gender diverse and intersex people speak for ourselves" — #VictorMukasa

"This statement by one of Trans & Intersex History Africa’s (TIHA) founders, Victor Mukasa, speaks to the rationale behind the TIHA digital archive, the history of trans, gender diverse and intersex movements in Africa, and the importance of archiving our histories/herstories/theirstories.

Supporting advocacy and movement building through archiving

We document events and important moments in a digital archive in the form of a visual timeline, as well as audio and video interviews as experienced and remembered by activists on the African Continent and within the #AfricanDiaspora.

As is the case worldwide, the anti-gender, conservative, #TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) rhetoric continues to gain strength and influences government policies, law and public sentiment, which impacts trans, gender diverse and intersex people’s lived realities and their fundamental human rights. We believe that the Trans & Intersex History in Africa (#TIHA) digital archive can contribute to the efforts of organisations, specifically those who cannot publicise their work due to threat of financial and legal consequences (which includes one of our founding partners), to ensure that trans, gender diverse and intersex existence and lived experience is recorded. This record will play a part in ensuring the collaborative strength of the African movements in combating the anti-trans, anti-gender-diverse and anti-intersex sentiment on the continent and in the African diaspora.

The TIHA digital archive acknowledges the existence of multiple movements, networks, groups and individuals and that the stories to be told are intersectional and carry various voices to form histories/herstories/theirstories. We are making a start with the information currently available but invite stories in whatever media to be submitted from across the continent and from the many places and voices not yet represented.

While we are in a continuous process of rethinking this important work, we invite you to engage with the information that the TIHA digital archive and Trans & Intersex Archival Conversations present. Get involved! Reach out! You can list your organisation/group, share your stories through the Timeline or through the Talk Show by getting in touch with us. We particularly invite first person stories and can facilitate the sharing of these in various languages."

‘Girl, You Just Gay’ – Daily #Microaggressions Faced By #Trans and #NonBinary #Africans

May 1, 2024

"The #LGBTQI+ community in #Africa has made significant strides in the face of prejudice, homophobia, and discrimination. Despite the challenges posed by punitive laws and conservative cultures, there are efforts to support and mobilise LGBTQI+ youth activists on the continent. However, the community continues to face setbacks, with instances of violence and marginalisation being reported in various African countries. For instance, in South Africa, a country with strong legal protections, violence against LGBT people remains a pressing issue, with at least 24 reported murders in bias-motivated attacks in 2021.

Despite these challenges, there are efforts to advance LGBTQI+ equality globally, including engaging the private sector to help advance LGBTQI+ livelihoods. The private sector's role in respecting the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons is being recognized, with initiatives such as robust business due diligence and human rights-based data collection being promoted to track progress toward LGBTQI+ economic empowerment.

In the midst of these efforts, it is important to acknowledge the specific challenges faced by Trans people and non-binary individuals within the LGBTQI+ community in Africa. While some have found supportive communities, they often experience Micro-aggressions and discrimination within these spaces. It is crucial to address these issues and work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful environment for all members of the LGBTQI+ community in Africa.

Misgendering, Deadnaming, Marginalising

Trans people and non-binary identifying individuals in the LGBTQI+ community face Micro-aggressions from both within and outside the community. Micro-aggressions against Trans people and non-binary individuals can take various forms, including #misgendering, #deadnaming, and invalidating their gender identity. These Microaggressions can be particularly harmful and contribute to feelings of marginalization, distress, and invalidation. Research has shown that gender minority youth experience more familial #Microaggressions, invalidation of #LGBTQ identity, and threatening behaviours (Arijis Q. et. Al. 2023).

"For instance, assuming that all individuals present as either male or female and failing to recognize non-binary or genderqueer identities can be a form of Micro-aggression. Additionally, making comments that link an Individual's LGBTQI+ identity with illness or pathology, or expressing surprise when someone's sexual orientation or gender identity is revealed, can also be harmful Micro-aggressions."

Agi: Piano Mattei, Meloni: L'Italia vuole essere hub europeo per investimenti in Africa

AGI/Vista - "Uno dei segnali più concreti di questa collaborazione è stata, in questi mesi, l'apertura a Roma dell'ufficio dell'International Finance Corporation. La presenza stabile dell'International Finance Corporation nella nostra Capitale non è un fatto simbolico. È una scelta strategica. Significa creare un ponte operativo tra il sistema produttivo italiano, i mercati africani e gli strumenti finanziari del Gruppo Banca Mondiale. Vuol dire facilitare l'incontro tra imprese, investitori e progetti bancabili. Significa rafforzare la capacità di mobilitare capitale privato verso iniziative ad alto impatto occupazionale. Vogliamo che Roma diventi uno snodo europeo per gli investimenti in Africa, un luogo nel quale pubblico e privato lavorano insieme per trasformare buone idee in posti di lavoro. Perché il punto centrale, per noi, di nuovo, è questo: il lavoro. Lavoro dignitoso, stabile, di qualità. Lavoro che consenta ai giovani africani di costruire il proprio futuro nella propria terra". Così la premier Giorgia Meloni intervenendo al convegno 'Laying the groundwork for jobs in Africa: core infrastructure & business environments', organizzato presso la sede centrale della Banca d’Italia a palazzo Koch dalla Banca Mondiale e dalla presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri.

AGI/Vista - "One of the most concrete signs of this collaboration has been, in recent months, the opening in Rome of the office of the International Finance Corporation. The stable presence of the International Finance Corporation in our Capital is not a symbolic one. It is a strategic choice. It means creating a working bridge between the Italian productive system, African markets, and the financial instruments of the World Bank Group. It means facilitating the meeting between businesses, investors, and bankable projects. It means strengthening the ability to mobilize private capital towards initiatives with a high employment impact. We want Rome to become a European hub for investment in Africa, a place where public and private work together to transform good ideas into jobs. Because the central point, for us again, is this: work. Decent, stable, quality work that allows young Africans to build their future in their own land.” Thus Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni speaking at the conference ‘Laying the groundwork for jobs in Africa: core infrastructure & business environments’, organized at the headquarters of the Bank of Italy at Palazzo Koch by the World Bank and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
