Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

The problem gentlemen is you think "rapist" means scary man in a hoodie lurking in an alleyway at 3am. Of course you'd block that guy.

But it's the boyfriend you really loved who was angry that you hadn't wanted sex for two days and pinned you for the bed and then felt really bad about it.

It's the really sweet guy backstage who you loved working with for the whole production who knew you only wanted to be friends and then got you drunk at the after party and raped you in a dressing room.

It's the husband who whined and pleaded for sex long after you've said no for hours and refused to take no for an answer until you gave in every night for four years until you realised what it was.

It's the childhood friend who knows your parents and is your brother's best mate who suddenly attacked you when you were 17 and then told you he'd be thrown out of Oxford if you said anything.

It's the kind colleague who offered to drive you home from that conference when there was a train strike and then forced his hands into your pants in a lay-by and then threatened to leave you there at 3am if you didn't stop being a cockteasing bitch.

We're not dumb. We see the constant attempts to make anything short of stranger with a knife made up, regret, our fault really, a matter of the woman not being clear.

We know why you keep trying to make this 'not rape'. Because if coercion, marital rape, pressure, manipulation and exploitation count, then the comforting fantasy that rape is only ever a stranger with a knife falls apart.

An Arkansas woman was left bleeding out while suffering a miscarriage after doctors were unable to properly treat her due to the state's strict abortion ban. Emily Waldorf survived and is now suing the state challenging its abortion ban, citing its danger to women's health.

Tammy Shipley was 47 years old. A mother. A grandmother. A woman experiencing acute psychosis. She should be alive today.

I've spent 7 months in 4 NSW prisons and what I witnessed was deeply disturbing. Women with severe mental illness who clearly needed psychiatric treatment, not incarceration. One woman could barely dress herself. She was profoundly unwell yet she was in prison.

When I entered prison, authorities had my prescriptions and my doctors' details for major depression and PTSD. Despite that, I was not given my medication for weeks. I was effectively forced off it cold turkey. I developed psychosis and suffered akathisia, one of the most distressing conditions I've ever experienced. Later, I developed severe shingles and was given nothing. No treatment. No meaningful medical intervention.

The reality is that there was virtually no access to healthcare. No doctor. No nurse. The only option was to call the Justice Health line and hope someone could help. Meanwhile, prisons are increasingly housing women with severe trauma, mental illness, addiction and brain injuries.

This is not just about Tammy Shipley.

More than 80% of women in prison have histories of physical or sexual abuse. More than 70% have experienced domestic, family or sexual violence. Australia's female prison population is growing more than twice as fast as men's.

Prisons are being used as mental health facilities without the resources, staffing or expertise to provide proper care. That is not rehabilitation. It is systemic failure.

Tammy Shipley should be alive today. And until we confront why women in acute psychological crisis are ending up in prison instead of treatment, more women will continue to pay the price.

When I was young and dumb, I would believe men when they’d say their ex was crazy.

Now, as a grown-ass woman, my first thought is, “What did you do to her?”

Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.
