The widespread use of illegal children’s homes is one of the biggest scandals of the care system. It all comes down to profits from care.

The Govt intend to criminalise 'retention' in the Child Abduction Act. The vast majority of those impacted will be DA victims attempting to escape from their abuser.

🧵 Last w/e, @kiritunks.bsky.social spoke for the FiLiA Trade Union Women’s Network at @mstaronline.bsky.social 1926-2026: Organised Labour – 100 years from the General Strike conference, Holding up Half the Sky ‒ Women & the Labour Movement.

He can't take women having opinions.
The Government’s Women’s Health Strategy recognises a real issue: too many Women are still ignored, dismissed or misdiagnosed in the NHS.

That acknowledgement matters, but it must lead to real change.

There is no 'moral panic' - only the Misogyny and contempt for women and girls of overprivilged men like you
Said like the overprivileged Misogynist who hates women that you are. And your comments here are deeply creepy. You and overprivileged Misogynist men like you are completely the problem. You prove Smith right
Get lost. You are the problem here with your Misogyny. And Smith received no funding.

After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Tove Jansson writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who displayed kindness & community, showing goodness even in the darkest times

Thanks for saying this and calling them out. It is so frustrating they misuse DSDs
Naw. You push Misogyny. And as a woman with a female specific DSD I am disgusted by the way you misrepresent my DSD to further your Misogynistic ideology
Said like the virulent Misogynist you are. You support a culture of male violence against women.
You support virulent Misogyny. You seriously need to read this book. You prove why it is necessary
Get lost. This is absolute nonsense. You push a virulent Misogynist ideology and destruction of women and girls rights. You prove Smith 's thesis perfectly. We see your Misogyny
Hear hear!
Naw. It isn't. But you support the ugly Misogyny Smith records. You are the problem she is rightfully calling out
You clearly haven't bothered to actually engage with what Smith is saying and reporting. You are part of the problem she is recording. She shows that accusations of 'transphobia' are grounded in the worst sort of Misogyny and link to threats of violence against women

I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
At least 30 people were killed in a single attack on the village of Bafwakoa in Ituri province, DRC this week, the latest in a sustained wave of violence that has claimed more than 100 civilian lives and left nearly 390 people abducted across the province since mid-March alone.
One is a female SA survivor who funds a badly needed SA crisis centre who receives daily death threats. One is a man accused of serial abuse of vulnerable women. Tired of Misogynists like you saying they are even comparable
UPDATE: The Charity Commission for England and Wales has closed its case into FiLiA. No further regulatory action required.
‘It is positive to see the proactive steps the trustees have taken to strengthen the Charity’s governance.’
