@genderedform Oltre al fatto che i diritti sono di tutta la società, con “capacity for pregnancy” non sono solo donne cis ma anche trans, non-binary, etc. È un diritto che ha un impatto sulle donne ma non bisogna escludere che lo abbia anche su altri gruppi sistematicamente non rappresentati.
I had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion at @marangonischool. I feel thankful for the chance to exchange insights and actively participate in a thought-provoking conversation. I want to extend my sincere thanks to my fellow panellists for their contributions.
When 94 people, including 35 children, drowned off the Italian coast in February, Italy said it would have launched a rescue mission had it known enough in time. @LHreports & partners uncover evidence showing Italy lied & @Frontex helped in a cover up
