Setaweet
In an effort to advance gender equality and enhance research methodologies of all Ethiopian women, Setaweet is working on publishing the inaugural issue of a journal titled ‘Writing our Rights’.
The journal includes contemporary gender issues that are broadly related to: culture of representation, history of exclusion and instability, Imagining deeper democracy through media and arts, and the relationship between Politics and Ethiopian Society. It particularly focuses on interdisciplinary scholarships that consider the complex interconnected ways that gender, class, ability, ethnicity, and other identities that shape the lived realities of Ethiopian women and men.
Currently, the Setaweet team is looking for a cover design that will effectively communicate the theme of the journal. If you are interested, follow the rules and submit your work. For any questions, you can contact us via

From @IAMBORED_NARUTOHELPME for our #BRAINWAVE segment
PTSD stands for-Post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. In simple terms, PTSD is like when something so traumatic happens that cause a scar on your mind. But unlike the normal external wound that can be fixed with some antibiotics, this is something that can’t be fixed easily by medicine. It’s the mind that is broken and fixed only by the efforts of the person themselves. The effort to confront the traumatic situation they were in and move on from it. The therapy and medicine are just ways to manage it, not a quick fix like one we use in when we hurt ourselves riding our bikes and mom applies medicine for us. But even the people suffering from PTSD need help for someone to pick them up when they fall.
Usually when people, even me, first hear the word OCD what comes first to mind is clean freak like Monica in Friends who cleans obsessively. It’s time to correct that way of thinking. OCD - stands for Obsessive compulsive disorder. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic, and long-lasting that she or he feels the urge to repeat over and over. When defined separately; Obsessions are thoughts, images or impulses that occur over and over again and feel outside of the person’s control. Compulsions, are repetitive behaviors or thoughts that a person uses with the intention of neutralizing, counteracting, or making their obsessions go away. In simple words, It’s as if your mind is compelling you to do something you rather not. Imagine the feeling you get when you go out but sudden feel that you didn’t turn off your stove at home. Then you’re compelled to imagine your house exploding in your mind. Making You run to check if you really did turn it off or shake that feeling off after being sure you turned it off. That feeling is not even close to what OCD go through every day. The compelling thought of needing to do something or else imagining the worst. That feeling we had is the day to day life of OCD victims.

"You spend your life just an inch from madness. You don't know it but that's one of the tricks of Madness. You break a leg, you know it. You get the measles, you know it but madness is the drift of the rational mind into the irrational, the lucid into the delusional. It's not always easy to see as it's happening. At what point does joy become mania, sadness become depression, apprehension become anxiety, fear become phobia? We value imagination but not hallucination. Yet they are close kin."

A wondrous piece from our wonderful writer @LiyaMekonnen
I wish for my mother’s arms to hide me away. There is war in my country.
“Ema, is it going to be ok?”
She hugs me but Mother’s arms have lost their magic. They are now merely bones and muscles. Mother does not think it will be ok. She is just like me, scared. I wrap my own bones and muscles around her.
The hate and the fear we feel towards this cause of pain collides. Hate keeps fear from reacting and fear keeps hate from going away. The small cracks get bigger till the bridge to the other land breaks. Pieces, that is what we are left with.
I do not want to think about the new orphan searching for his mother among the red marked sleeping people on the ground. I do not want to imagine the wails of the wife of for her husband to come back. I do not want to think about her children wondering why mommy does not stop crying. A father’s world crumples after having lost his child and I am here.
How do I fit into all this horror? Where is a young girl like me placed in this horridness? Would it be that I could be soon holding Mother who had taken her last breath in my arms or she holding me in the end? It seems like a world divided in two.
