Remembering the many times we were told that the idea that predatory and violent males may want to take advantage of the presence of loopholes in system and weak safeguards to enter spaces reserved for females was ludicrous!
Cannot quite believe that the Scottish justice system has just put a violent man convicted today of raping two women in women’s prison Cornton Vale housing some of the most vulnerable women in our country. Ministers need to explain why and take responsibility.

Indeed. Even at face value, this is puzzling and shocking. I will be asking for a clarification.
It's absolutely disgraceful Supreme Court J Sheilah Martin would state the term "woman" is confusing in a ruling. To state that the rape survivor should have been referred to in dehumanizing terms - "person with a vagina" - is appalling.

The Human Rights Council did not reject my report on child custody which is still officially part of the documents of the council. Your statement is false. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the way of working of the council before spreading misinformation in this way.

100% agree. The images and reports of the
#sexualviolence
in
#Manipur
are horrific and shocking. The Government of
#India
must spare no efforts to respond swiftly, effectively and firmly in holding perpetrators to account and assisting survivors.
Evidence points to widespread sexual violence in
#Manipur
, especially by Meitei men & militants against Kuki women. Measures to address the
#sexualviolence
should be top priority for government, and should include SRH, psychosocial support & justice.

Alarming levels of
#GBV
perpetuated against
#women
and girls in
#Haiti
as per the new report by OHCHR. Lynching, kidnappings, gang rape - with pregnant women not spared. Sexual violence is clearly used as a tool to instill fear, subjugate and control the population.
Impunity for…

#Haiti
:
"Corruption, impunity & poor governance, compounded by increasing levels of gang violence, have eroded the rule of law & brought State institutions close to collapse. All these practices are outrageous & must stop at once."
