Philadelphia is so lucky to have @migrantherstory. She is one of my favourite voices of fierce reason and empathy, especially in the times we live in.

To women like you, Dr. D💜!! Envious of students at @PennHistory.

‼️ This speaks to me so deeply. Routes must be safer but also designed to accommodate the variety of trips that women make on 🚲 : for work, school, leisure, sport, heck, a night out.

I shouldn't have to bike on a massive road without a cycling track/lane to get groceries.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

How to get more women than men cycling in your city? Improving safety is obviously key.

Perhaps less obvious is the significance of fine-grained network design: supporting a variety of distances and destinations especially multi-purpose trips outside the “normal” 9-to-5 commute.

A wonderful piece by Prof.@ataparnachandra on the MTP Act, and how defining pregnant persons’ reproductive decisions within a constitutional framework is necessary but not enough to ensure safe access to abortion services in India.

[Article 14 @Article14live]

The #SupremeCourt decision on #abortion for unmarried women in #India, provides ammo to challenge MTP Act, Surrogacy Act, marital rape exemption, ART Act etc, but @ataparnachandra writes, abortion access will be limited without decriminalization.

[Article 14 @Article14live]

As marital rape gets first legal recognition in #SupremeCourt judgement today, we reported how India is one of 36 countries where it is not a crime. 5.4 million Indian women affected by spousal sexual violence required psychiatric counselling: 2021 study https://t.co/95NrSJ0m1L

"McGill University’s institutional history dramatically changes when it accounts for the fact that its founder, James McGill, was an enslaver and trader of enslaved Black and Indigenous people," pens @MelissaNShaw. Read more on Black Canadian Slavery here: https://t.co/OHSdqeC2of

Another wonderful thread by @kikumbhar on the gate-kept technocracy that is the Indian medical & health policy elite.
Many issues plague MedEd, regulation, PH delivery etc but most strikingly, the consistent ignorance of evidence. Evidence that magic bullets don't & cannot work.

[Kiran Kumbhar @kikumbhar]

There r many reasons for that, & among the most imp reasons is the complete failure of those in power in India (politicians and bureaucrats, and the elites who control the public discourse incl media and publishing etc.) to fully grasp the nature & needs of the country & its ppl

[Aaditya Dar (aadityadar.bsky.social) @AadityaDar]

Four kinds of replies when you say Hindutva politics leads to communal violence:
1. Research is biased
2. Islam is a religion that promotes violence
3. Communal violence is an outcome of secularism
4. What about Hindus killed in the past?

[Dr. Sonali Vaid @SonaliVaid]

Tired of tweets calling India “progressive” because our abortion laws are better than US.

At a time when rights of women in another country are being trampled we are using their misery to sing our song

How very mature.

Nothing “progressive” about maternal health in India.

[Aaditya Dar (aadityadar.bsky.social) @AadityaDar]

This is probably going to be sound like a broken tape recorder but for anyone still looking for data and research on the *causal impact* of BJP and the Hindutva ideology in promoting communal violence in India, here's a list of articles to consider:
