Our sisters in Philadelphia & LA @womenstrike_us are protesting today too demanding an end to sexist, racist, class & disability biased child removal, including by ICE v immigrant families. 100,000 children in US are separated from families by deportation https://t.co/apMjvoLfAz
Outrageous! Children as young as five who are living legally in the UK are being told by the Home Office they must leave the country even if their parents have been given permission to remain. https://t.co/AmZ1zbyNIb
“Thousands of stolen babies in Ireland spent their childhood in orphanages,laundries & workhouses because they were born into poverty, or their mothers were young & unmarried.”Many were sent to UK, Canada, America & Australia, they were exploited & abused. https://t.co/twUJzjUSM3
Permanent Peoples Tribunal investigates missing Indigenous children & unmarked burials from residential schools in Canada, thousands of children “disappeared”. Similar to residential homes in England run for profit where children are abused & neglected https://t.co/eSe0U1qKtZ
‘At four, her head was shaved and her clothes burned.’ Stolen Generations (Australia) need compensation and justice for decades of trauma caused by stealing and torturing Indigenous children Sorry is not enough! @HealingOurWay https://t.co/W25gLPVDUj
Thousands of children fleeing war, torture and abuse are being placed in adult accommodation, immigration detention, and even adult prisons where they are HARMED! Children are wrongly prosecuted in adult criminal courts. https://t.co/ATWpBzBqms
Reproductive genocide of mothers and children in Gaza, Lebanon and other war zones must stop NOW. “Their courage commands immense respect and stands as an inspiration to all of humanity.” https://t.co/7kL38zcw2b
This month we’re focusing on children who have been and still are stolen from loving mums, including through poverty, immigration laws, forced adoptions, racism v Black & Indigenous children, and reproductive genocide of mothers and children in Gaza, Lebanon and other war zones
Today is #StolenChildrensMonth@movfamilypower & others internationally are highlighting centuries of state violence,especially against single & disabled mums,Black,Indigenous & other communities of colour, through child removal, prison, deportation, war https://t.co/578V4snVbw
We’re outside central #familycourt to STOP cruel arbitrary separations of children from their mums, forced adoptions & profiteering by private companies. #PovertyisNotNeglect Take away our poverty NOT our children! The courts are finally OPEN! @sarahsackman@JoshMacAlister
So much scrutiny of mothers #familycourt & so little scrutiny of adopters. Prospective adopters already broken up when adoption went through & adoptive mother in relationship with convicted violent man leaves 2 year old back in “care”. Stop all forced adoptions now!
We're so sorry to hear about your friend. So often asking social services for help triggers the opposite, and children (and their mums/carers) pay the price. There is NO care in the "care" system.
@WinVisibleWomen@NotSeparation@ALLFIEUK My friend had Spinal Muscular Atrophy 2. Her single mother died so her grandparents took her in. They struggled to look after her. Instead of helping, social services removed her & put her in a residential special school. She was neglected & sexually abused. #SupportNotSeparation
NEW: I interviewed Dylan* who was taken from his mother aged nine by the family courts. She was barred from seeing him for six years after he was removed on the advice of an unregulated psychologist. Now, reunited, they tell their story for the first time. https://t.co/jMi1eA6fGC

Our sisters in Philadelphia & LA are also protesting today demanding an end to sexist, racist, class & disability biased child removal, including by ICE v immigrant families. Our kids don’t belong to the state, they belong with their families. @womenstrike_us
Mothers in Gaza living in tents watching their children die or suffer in a war designed to break them, fight tirelessly for survival amidst genocide. “Their courage commands immense respect and stands as an inspiration to all of humanity.” https://t.co/qCfngAObsP
Indefinite jail terms scrapped in 2012,continue to tear families apart. To separate a child from their mother over the constant threat of recall for a petty crime she committed 20 years ago is inhumane. This is NOT the child’s best interest. https://t.co/7rYkljIPJ6
