Disappointed in Robert Redford. Why is sexual abuse only important “for women”? abuse by those in power of those less powerful, is shitty for everyone. Who would it have had to affect, for you to feel it affected you “personally”?

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

Robert Redford on sexual harassment culture in Hollywood: “I just accepted, that’s the way it was. I didn’t like it. But I didn’t see it was my job to do anything about it because it was just so pervasive.” #MeToo

Excellent - but why then is equitable pay for community midwives unimaginable? How is it so hard to see and acknowledge a specialised, scarce workforce working 24/7, improving maternal and infant wellbeing, in line with the NZ health strategy? hard not to take it personally...

[Manatū Wāhine Ministry for Women @women_nz]

Cabinet has agreed to fund a pay equity settlement worth $114.6m over 5 years for Oranga Tamariki social workers, Minister for Children @TraceyMartinMP announced today. https://t.co/xMb1hce2Tf #equalpay

"Rural Women New Zealand has announced its support for the call made by the New Zealand College of Midwives demanding pay equity." https://t.co/HBixw12bbe

NZ midwives: we need to widen the focus, from a focus on pay, to focus on the value to society of our work. #midwivesarethesolution

You have the right to report, or share your story, if and when you feel ready @BrittanyPacknett! The point is, the act of truth telling usually makes the victim more vulnerable. Me too. #WhyIDidntReport #WeBelieveChristine

“ I see my work as slaying dragons to eliminate the barriers that stand between midwives and women” says Heather LaDell we need to remove the institutional and systematic barriers that stop midowves doing their job 🙏🏽💗
