About
OneStruggle sells merchandise attached to six conflicts that receive far less attention than their scale warrants: Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen, Armenia and Ireland.
Every product links to a page explaining what is actually happening in that place, with sources. That pairing is the entire point. A slogan on a shirt is just a slogan. A slogan you can explain is something else.
Who runs this
One person, based in Canada. Not a company, not an organisation, and not affiliated with any political party, government or group in any of the six countries listed here.
I run this anonymously, and it is fair to want a reason for that. The subject matter reliably attracts harassment, and in several of these cases people have lost work over far less than running a shop. Anonymity here is about reducing that exposure — it is not a way of avoiding accountability. Every factual claim on this site is sourced and attributable, the contact address is monitored by a person, and corrections are made publicly. Judge the site on whether it is accurate, not on whether it is signed.
How the six were chosen
The common thread is sustained under-coverage relative to scale — places that receive a burst of attention and then silence, while the situation continues.
Some of what has happened to these populations was done by foreign states. Some was done by their own governments. Several have experienced both at once, and the cause pages say plainly which is which. A site that only ever blames outsiders is propaganda, whatever its politics.
Ireland is included on different terms, and the Ireland section explains why rather than glossing over it.
Sources and corrections
Factual claims on this site are drawn from published reporting, United Nations bodies, and established human rights organisations, and are attributed to whoever made them rather than asserted as settled fact. Where a claim is contested, the site says so.
If something here is wrong, tell us and it will be corrected. This is not a formality. A site making claims about live conflicts has an obligation to be correctable, and that obligation is worth more than sounding certain.
What is not sold here
No paramilitary imagery. No weapons. No insignia of armed groups, in any of the six cases.
This is a line about what solidarity is for. Designs here use flags, national phrases, historical dates and the language of civil resistance — general strikes, protest movements, mutual aid — because that is the tradition worth carrying. Glorifying armed groups honours neither the people living under these conditions nor the ones who died.
