I formally lodged a sexual harassment complaint against present Dir. of Comms at @presidencymv on Feb 4, 2020. I also lodged complaints with @PoliceMv & @ACC_Maldives . Till date no action has been taken - what is stopping you @ibusolih ?

My male-dominated industry may not step forward to back me, but you have. Thankyou, Twitter community, for your overwhelming support. After all our efforts, with many resources, justice is nowhere on the horizon. Yet this is the lived reality of many Maldivian women. #EndImpunity

Let me be clear - I do not want selective justice or special treatment. I ask for no favor and will accept none. The fact is, this issue is much bigger than myself - I want the same justice for all women like me, who have been ill treated and silenced. #EndImpunity #MeToo #Maves

I’ll always wonder how people can be so cruel, why women tear other women down. It is why more people don’t come forward. I won’t apologize for my family or my life’s journey. I’ve made my amends. No gossip justifies the wrong that was done. And it IS wrong - refer to the law.

Lots of HORRID people getting called out lately. I'm glad. Men, I hope you know that if you haven't abused, raped, assaulted or harassed women - then you should sympathise with the victim. It's not some betrayal of brotherhood - speak up in the face of wrong. Don’t be silent 🙏🏾

Let’s be honest, the idea of an artificial island for public use is an insult to the Maldivian people. It confirms that Maldives’ natural beauty - our birthright - is being reserved for foreigners. We have not run out of islands; and even then, locals should hold the priority.

The issue of violence against women is far from new to Maldives. But easily forgotten like the victims themselves. There’s a culture of disrespect; “firihen” humor, harassment, verbal abuse, shoves ➡️ slaps ➡️ beatings. It’s not accidental; these are roads to birthing violence.

Trussed up in song doesn’t change fact - it’s an absolute disgrace that the Solih Govt created an artificial island for locals in Maldives’ capital region to use - since all the natural beaches in the area are reserved for tourists. Enjoying our own environment is a birthright.

To murder an apex predator for use of a small portion of its body, not even for sustenance, is a dangerous disrespect for nature. Maldives has hardly any land animals - but this magnificent marine creature shares our home. They are endangered and this is spitting on a blessing.

I reiterate that it is the right of Maldivians to seek income from the trade of shark fins, and shark liver oil. For shark liver oil in particular, sharks are sourced from depths of 600-1000m below surface levels. This, I believe should be re-legalised

So HPA sets out to penalize the micro-food-biz. This sudden move disproportionately affects Maldivian women, many having recently begun trading homemade food for added income, often in kitchens cleaner than cafes. Govt, why aren't you simply telling locals to get on their knees?

If evidence is always lacking when it comes to convicting over harassment, assault & rape, but victim tolls are rising, then a logical way forward looks to be amending relevant law. For real, has any man across world history, ever simply 'confessed' to harassing/hurting a woman?

The first thing I want to do when I get home is move money out of @bankofmaldives . Post COVID, the world has pretty much gone cashless and you have crazy limits on our cards. Useless even for an emergency abroad! Thy kommes ehen bayyegge bank eh, aharunaa beheyves kameh noon.

First, I refuse to applaud leaders simply for doing their job. Especially, entitled men. There’s a mark to surpass before giving thanks is warranted. Calling out failure or silliness, is not an act of opposition. Those ‘worried about my stance’ - hope this clarity suffices 😂😘

The democratic way forward is to not just remove people that the incumbent placed in power but to follow due process. To have her resign is the easy way out. I would like to see her publicly questioned prior to action taken - that is the only way to ensure future accountability.

This week I wish I had a platform to shed light on disturbing discussions to legalize shark fishing. World’s fish populations have plummeted to a degree that doesn’t allow room for debate. Much need for clarity on the importance of protecting sharks; key player in our ecosystem.

When you’re shaming a fully clothed girl (hijab or not), criticising her for praying before earning glory for our nation, with talent that Allah chose to bless her with, you must question WHAT it is you’re fighting for. Allah sees all actions, knows all hearts - including yours.

Often I feel like being an outspoken woman, advocating for rights, means a life of constantly prepping for war. It is exhausting. Yet every single day, I #ChooseToChallenge the limitations set out for us 🤚🏾because we have no other choice. Now if only our leaders chose the same.

In light of this emergency, I urge everyone to only share posts from @HPA_MV , @WHOMaldives and registered, trustworthy news (not tabloids). ‘Screenshots’ of HPA twitter aren’t reliable, why not share directly from the source? While it may feel harmless, it really is not (1/3)

I have never heard a single Villimale-ian talk about wanting to develop the roads here. There is no flooding, while Male overflows. It’s the only remnant of what life in Male used to be like. There’s no noise pollution. Roads are safe. Keep your grubby hands out of Villimale.

I don't understand this apparent desire to refer to (alleged or otherwise) sexual assaulters, rapists, abusers and so forth, in "maai bas" ; supposedly the highest degree of respect. Do you? Thank God I write in English, and do not have to deal with this ridiculous issue.

Even today, the number of politicians in Maldives whose source of power and influence is that in their family was once important is just 🤯. Why can’t we give platforms to self-made people with great ideas if they aren’t related to right folk? Latent beyfulhism smh.

Can I just say how happy I am that regional news is getting to partake in national press conferences? It adds a different element of perspective. I'm sure as this improves, the quizzing will too. Such inclusivity should be the norm for all matters of nation-wide importance!

The fact that he can so confidently say he doesn’t want to think about what’s best for the country - atrocious behavior and exactly the type of cultist politics this country does not need. Old irrelevants like these should not be representing the Maldivian people.

Are you serious @anuahsa ? From your POV what happened to me was what? Didn’t happen? Was deserved? Epitome of respect? Granting few positions to certain women does not an equitable society make. When you allow abusers to walk free, you pass on a culture of harm to our children.

Having grown up in the 90s and early 2000s when the drug ‘epidemic’ was at its peak in the Maldives, it feels like that could have easily been about any unfortunate one of us. It also feels like an important insight into present social conditions. What he needs is help. Not this.

You’d think by now cabinet ministers would know the folly of basing their communication strategies on Twitter. There are positive ways to engage on social platforms, but the rarity that is tact & common sense is prerequisite.
