@ctvottawa The hijacking that occurred on #IWD2023 showed #canpoli & funded orgs shamelessly falling over themselves to centre males. They exposed themselves as having done nothing of significance to address real issues affecting women #OnTheBasisOfSex, like repro rights, #femicide, #VAW.
@ctvottawa #Canadians are told ‘there’s no gender equality without trans women’, but no one can back up the rhetoric with substance. No one can answer the simple inquiring question, Why?
Why are female sex-based rights & protections as enshrined in the @CanadianCharter being held hostage?
Why are female sex-based rights & protections as enshrined in the @CanadianCharter being held hostage?
@ctvottawa @CanadianCharter Why are males, especially rapists and violent offenders who begin identifying as trans after their crimes and convictions, being placed in the Women's prison estate? And all this against the Geneva convention.
We need to talk about male violence - men killing women & children. Too many women & children have already been killed & it’s the start of a new year - Bruna Fonseca, Natalie McNally & Tausha Haight, her mother Gail Earl, & Tausha’s five children -
identified by family and friends as Macie (17), Briley (12), twins Ammon and Sienna (7), & Gavin (4). I can’t tell you whether these men thought it right to kill, but what I can tell you from 27 years of profiling cases is that they thought it was THEIR RIGHT.
We need to talk about this supercharged sense of entitlement and ownership men believe they have over women and children and stop saying it’s ‘senseless’ ‘tragic’ ‘gun violence’ ‘motiveless’ It’s not.
This progress is positive. The killer will most likely be known to Natalie, yes. BUT police saying he is not a risk to other women is utter nonsense. He murdered a woman who was pregnant. Of course he is a risk to other women 🚩 EVERY woman knows this. I really wish 
Men would stop saying ridiculous things like this & focus on what’s important. Appeal to those who know this man. Someone knows him. Listen to the Community intell. I’m hearing that a former partner was stalking Natalie. Do the house-to house, speak to those who knew Natalie &
those whom she confided in. Speak with her family, friends, check social media etc. There’s lots to do in the star burst of a murder. This man is a public protection risk 🚩 Any man who murders a woman is. Help find him. Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack?
Can you help find Natalie McNally’s killer? Natalie was 15 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. She was stabbed to death in her home in Lurgan Northern Ireland on Sunday 18 December. This man carrying a rucksack arrived at Silverwood Green near Natalie’s home at 852pm.
He was seen leaving Silverwood Green at 930pm. @PoliceServiceNI are appealing for phone/video footage, CCTV, car dash-cam footage, photos, any information that can help find him. Also, there’s a golf course close to Natalie’s house which leads to the M1 Motorway.
Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack around this time? Do you recognize his gait in the video? Or maybe you know someone locally who was acting strangely after Natalie’s murder. You can upload info anonymously here mipp.police.uk/operation/PSNI… or
'Pornography today is so violent and dehumanizing to women and girls that most women can’t look at it without being traumatized...
Canadians have the honour of owning the world’s biggest conveyor of woman-hating, the Montreal-based website Porn Hub. The website is free to access, with no age restrictions and no restrictions on the defilement of women. Rape and torture videos abound...
Porn Hub was visited 42 billion times in 2019. To put this number in perspective, there are 4 billion men on the planet.

For 3 years I've wanted to write about why men murder women in the sex trade. I've been waiting for the publication of a study on the subject in Germany that finally come out a month ago. Stay tuned for my summary. Its painful but necessary to know who, when, where and why.
The state sanctioning the sex trade does not prevent lethal violence against women in #prostitution. From hands-off essentially decriminalized Berlin to the nearly prohibitionist German South, here is who is killing whom, when, where, how, and why. ellyarrow.wordpress.com/2021/03/29/who…
Murder in the sex trade is about as old as the industry itself. In Germany paying for sex has rarely ever been expressly illegal, yet sex buyers make up more than half of perpetrators (a lot of serial killers are buyers). It's not illegality of the trade that makes men kill women

The criticisms around the challenge appear when monochromatic picture isn’t exactly saying enough about the story behind the challenge itself; so here I am trying my best to elaborate.
So it all started as a protest against #femicide occurring in Turkey after the killing of Pinar Gutelkin by her boyfriend. It’s a way for us women to raise our voices & stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.
It takes a lot of effort, strength, perseverance, wisdom, patience, intelligence, and grit to come through as the world has always been skewed against us.
While #femicide cases are frequent in Turkey, governing AKP announced Turkey will withdraw from the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention).
AKP deputy chair Numan Kurtulmuş, "it was wrong to be a signatory to the Istanbul Convention. However it came into use years ago, we will follow the steps to withdraw from it now."

Human rights is not a zero sum game. Those that are trying to create endogroups and provoke a competition for human rights are attempting to deflect from the point.

This is seductive coercion. This is endogroup creation. Do not fall for it. Rape is bad. Racism is bad. End impunity. Follow ideas, not people.

(cw: vaw) Robert Pickton, one of the most notorious serial killers in history. He targeted mostly sex workers and Indigenous women, some dealing with addictions or mental health issues, in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. He admitted to butchering 49 women and feeding them to pigs.
When mothers, fathers or other relatives would go to Vancouver police to report their loved one missing, they were dismissed.
"And their response invariably would be: 'Well, we don't have time to look for hookers. Your daughter is a drug addict. What do you expect us to do?“

@jeadvocaat "At school we have been taught we must first apologise as well promise to never do it again. The promise is missing from these ministers. Where is the plan of action that should prevent abuse in the future? Where are the new protocols and rules?"

@jeadvocaat The Dutch government recently apologised to the many Dutch citizens who have been assaulted or abused as children in youth care since 1945. All victims receive 5000 euros. A sexual abuse victim receives the same compensation as someone who was spanked.

One of the pieces of work that I am most proud of is also the most difficult to work on. It's the @Womens_Aid #Femicide Watch. For over 20 years we've charted the violent killing of women in Ireland. For just over 10 years, this has been my responsibility.
The file started in 1996, a year of unprecedented female homicide, with 19 women killed. Since then we have recorded 216 violent deaths of women with 16 children being killed alongside their mothers. There is a tendency to look at cases as isolated incidents. #Femicide
But what our #Femicide Watch allows us to do is to illustrate links between domestic violence & homicide and the danger posed to women. We can learn from these absolute tragedies about what needs to happen to better protect women and children & prevent the future deaths.

1/ Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padao’ (Save the Girl, Educate the Girl) programme, launched in January 2015, was the first time since India's independence in 1947 that the Indian government had raised the issue of female genocide in a public campaign.
2/ British census data in the 18th century had attributed India’s skewed #sexratio to female #infanticide and other forms of #femicide, such as sati, but after independence subsequent governments remained bizarrely indifferent to the issue even as it reached epidemic proportions.
