This is Rebecca Goodwin
She was raped. She reported it. She even handed in a 7 minute recording of her sexual assault. Police said it was insufficient evidence.
Fearing he would target others, she exposed the man publicly. Out of fear, he handed himself in and was remanded.
But on appeal, he was released. He is now bailed until a court date in 2027.
Rebecca has been failed. Women across this country are failed daily. We ask why women don’t report? This is why.
Violence against women is a pandemic, nationally and locally. #EndDomesticAbuse

Kevin O'Leary's massive data center was approved by a county commission in Utah last night without residents' approval of the measure.
At 40,000 acres, it would be 2.5x the size of Manhattan.
The commission approved the proposal despite opposition from hundreds of locals.
With the war in Iran, I'm remembering Diana (19).
Diana Bahador, a 19-year-old Iranian, was slaughtered by the IRGC/Iranian goverment in January.
Her choice to let her hair flow free and to ride motorcycles (a male activity in patriarchial Iran) got her in trouble with the law.
The IRGC killed her in January during the riots. Guns to her chest, they shot her to death. She wasn't the only person; she just became an icon.
An estimated 35,000+ other Iranians have also suffered similar fates, not including the number of protesters who've been imprisoned, tortured and starved.
When you think about why we're at war, you can about the future Diana could have had🎗️
Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.
