@Scott_Wortley The Children (Scotland) Act 2020 and the non-implementation of key parts could be added.

[Thomas Leonard Ross KC @GlasgowAdvocate]

@scotgov has created a two-tier civil justice system in Scotland - where legal remedies that give protection from domestic violence are often elusive to the low waged and unwaged - who cannot get access to legal assistance to enforce their rights

The series Adolescence: It's positive that it's prompting discussions about boys, sexism, and social media.
But the film, by itself, is limited as a teaching tool. One-off media interventions are unlikely to produce substantial or lasting change, as I note in my book

“An assisted dying service will be in place by 2027.”

I find the use of “service” in the AD debate jarring, incongruous. Language of health care can’t disguise the profound shift in medical ethics.

Putin gave Trump a painting of himself and Trump loved it.

Surprise! This is how easily manipulated the Narcissist-in-Chief is and all of our adversaries understand that. (Tbh not sure why Khamanei hasn’t sent Trump a painting yet either, or a Trump Tower contract in Tehran.)

In 2023 to 2024 only 66 per cent of our clients who requested an NHO in a domestic abuse case for their ongoing protection were granted one by the Sheriff. This is not justice and it’s not gold standard. #Assist

2025 is the year to erase the stain on the world's  conscience as Afghan girls and women are denied the most basic of human rights. Gender Apartheid is a crime against humanity. My article for @ProSyn

@JenniferMilne5 Agree with that. 40% is a large proportion and makes me wonder what else is happening. The definition for ASN is broad but it is there something fundamental happening / not working with education, if the current approach only suits 1/3 of children?

[Rachel Hewitt @drrachelhewitt]

This week’s newsletter is about developing a felt sense of patriarchal harm - the body keeps the score - and, in response, a sense of feminism as a practice.

It has now been 1,154 days since the Taliban made it illegal for 1.4 million Afghan girls to attend school.

New article on children and ideas about recovery in the context of domestic abuse https://t.co/IP7GmcNEd0

[Shamail Tawana Nasiri @ShamailTawana]

Today, on International Day of the Girl, we must remember that for nearly three years, Afghan girls have been deprived of their fundamental right to education due to the restrictive policies imposed by the Taliban. This situation poses a grave threat to the future of an entire generation and the sustainable development of the country. We call on the international community and human rights organizations to fully support the rights of Afghan girls and hold the Taliban accountable for their systematic violations of human rights and the exclusion of women and girls.
