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.
The image of '#assisteddying' vs the reality: 'An Ontario man groaned, grimaced and repeated "help me" while undergoing doctor-assisted death after one of the drugs didn't produce the anticipated level of sedation, initially leaving him conscious.' https://t.co/VZJWLSBFm8
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.
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

This gang lured and gang-raped at knifepoint a young girl while they filmed it laughing.
I will refer their sentences as unduly lenient - let’s see if this time the Government again says the rapists are too immature to receive stronger sentences.
Who are these disgraceful judges?
Judge Nicholas Rowland praised the boys for their conduct during the trial. “I think of you as very young and none of you have been in any big trouble before”
“I effing killed him” — Gay man charged with murder of baby boy he adopted.
The baby’s cause of death was acute upper airways obstruction, as a result of smothering by hand, fabric, or inserted object.
The child had suffered 40 injuries including external and internal bruising, and a fractured arm.
Detective found videos on Varley’s phone, recorded earlier that day, with the boy lying on the bed with respiratory arrest but the defendant did not seek medical help.
Varley is charged with: murder, manslaughter, two counts of assault by penetration, five counts of cruelty to a child, grievous bodily harm, sexual assault of a child, 13 counts of taking indecent photos or videos of a child, one of distributing an indecent photo of a child.
A month before the child’s death, Varley told a social worker he wasn’t “bonding” with the child and was having “dark thoughts” about him, including thoughts of drowning or suffocating the baby. He said he would never act on them.
They let him keep the baby anyway.
People worried about assisted death services should sign this. People who strongly desire assisted death services should also sign this. Everybody should sign this.

Jamila Babir Hajem, a young Yazidi woman, has been rescued from ISIS (Islamic State) captivity, reports @K24English.
Hajem was abducted during the ISIS genocide against Iraqi Yazidis in Sinjar in 2014 and has now been freed more than a decade later.
Jamila was just seven years old at the time of her kidnapping, when she was taken along with seven members of her family during the ISIS assault.
All of her family members have since been rescued in earlier operations, except for her father, whose fate remains unknown.
Official figures from the Office for the Rescue of Kidnapped Yazidis indicate that around 6,417 Yazidi civilians were abducted during ISIS attacks on Sinjar and surrounding areas in August 2014.
The fate of over 2,550 abducted Yazidi individuals remains unaccounted for.
A surrogate is on life support.
There is a contract.
The commissioning parents decide how long her body is kept alive to complete the pregnancy, or to not complete it. They decide who lives and who dies and when.
Not her own family.
Her body is no longer under her control.
This is surrogacy.
