Speaking to Bulgarian podcaster Georgi Petkov earlier this month, Nwamerue recalled her time sparring against Khelif in Sofia.
"It's like racing a bike against a motorbike ... Motorcycle vs. bicycle. Will the bicycle be faster and win, or the motorbike?"
Very concerned about these statements by the IOC at #Paris2024. There are multiple international treaties and national constitutions that specifically refer to #women and their fundamental rights to equality and non-discrimination, so the world has a pretty good idea of what women -and men for that matter- are.
Also, how can one assess whether fairness and justice has been reached if we do not know who we are being fair and just to?
Bad enough for Bach to pontificate about what a woman is. Worse when he treats womanhood as a construct, rather than a biological reality. And unforgivable that his grasp of the science is so feeble that the IOC has to issue an official correction. Comment https://t.co/2AsJD9OxcQ
Forgot: A third example I mentioned is a country banning its own women wanting to wear the hijab from competing in sports, including on its national team in the #ParisOlympics2024
Prostitution is a violent system of oppression perpetuated by the sexual act buyers, third parties (criminal networks, pimps) and the States that permit this system.
@UNSRVAW addresses this in her report.

UN Special Rapporteur @UNSRVAW welcomes the European Court of Human Rights @ECHR_CEDH decision validating the conventionality of the French law of 13 April 2016 criminalising the purchase of sexual acts.

The European Court of Human Rights unanimously rejected the complaints against the criminalisation of the purchase of prostitutional acts in the abolitionist French 🇫🇷 law of 2016.
A strong signal for Europe, a victory for all women! ✊

Michelle and Barack Obama call Kamala Harris to endorse her campaign for President.
With the endorsement of the former President and First Lady, Vice-President Kamala Harris has now received the endorsement of every major figure in the Democratic Party ahead of the DNC Convention in Chicago.
@DulacLab @dietrich_mo If there is a "feel good with mommy" brain circuit then it makes sense when women who were non-State tortured by their mother as small children speak about knowing they were at risk by "not feeling good with mommy"!
@ENoMW Based on my and @lindamacnst research women in prostitution suffer torture as mentioned in the Court's decision. This occurs in Canada, US, Australia, Philippines, etc. as shared https://t.co/o3Qpnqc25b
