🧵Years of film festivals & community screenings for the award winning feature documentary EXIT and it's still so relevant! On the eve of #25N I've added many streaming options in the comments. In English OR Spanish. #EndTrafficking#films
This is deeply troubling.
I hope New York will step away from this move!
I wrote about the push to eliminate the word “mother” and mother-related terminology in law and policies; how it is linked to the devaluation of motherhood and women overall.
I will be presenting this report on “violence against mothers” to the UN Human Rights Council in a few weeks.
There are no words to describe the horrors that Sudanese women and girls are enduring at the hands of the RSF, and which have not received a fraction of the outrage, attention and action by World leaders that it deserves.
An urgent appeal has been made to the public as police have asked for help in finding missing teenager Marcie.
The 14-year-old girl was last seen on Wednesday afternoon in Timperley, Greater Manchester Police said.
Anyone with information about Marcie’s whereabouts should contact police on 0161 856 6406

En Seseña, Toledo, se está investigando como violencia de género el asesinato de Melissa, de 43 años. Estaba en el Sistema VioGén desde el mes de enero con un nivel de seguimiento bajo.

Time and again, Falconer and co mix up introduction of an assisted death system by the state - a political decision, if ever there was one - with private decisions to participate in that system. Hard to know whether it's deliberate obfuscation or midwittery at this point.
INTERPOL was pleased to support this joint action against human trafficking.
Another strong example of international cooperation leading to concrete results, with 5 arrests and 8 victims identified.

The horrendous story of sexual abuse, exploitation, child marriages, and neglect of women in Gaza. "This is echoed by Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, director of Realign for Palestine, who says that many won’t speak for fear of Hamas infiltration or lack of access."

“The bill will definitely come back, there’s no two ways about it. This is not an issue that’s going away.” Kim Leadbeater, talking today about forcing her assisted dying bill through Parliament in the next session.
If you'd like to get up to speed with arguments against the systematisation of assisted death, buy my book. Hardback, e-book, audiobook - all out now.
"Characteristically sharp, clever and vital," Jane O'Grady, The Daily Telegraph
"Admirably clear and cogent... this is a polemic, but a polite one." Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian
"I gladly admit she has all but changed my mind". Bel Mooney, Daily Mail.

I spoke to the Daily Mail here about the current horrific sexual abuses of vulnerable women in Gaza in return for food aid. "Many victims remain silent due to stigma and fear of social consequences … and this cycle will most probably continue until women are given economic independence".
