የሴቶች ድምፅ ንቅናቄ · an Ethiopian movement

#ትሰማ!Let her be heard.

Tisema is the demand that the voices of Ethiopian women and girls are listened to, believed, and acted on. This site is the movement's index: every article, every video, every story, one place.

ድምፆችVoices

Their stories, in their words
