the impunity, silence, and stigma surrounding it. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><br></span></p>

imperialism, militarisation, and heteronormativity must be interrogated towards
informing our intersectional activism in addressing these injustices.</span></p>
