Please, USA, get ahold of yourself. This is not ok in any way. We need *national* policies & laws which emphatically & incontrovertibly PROTECT WOMEN’s & GIRL’s basic rights. We are under siege & need help! @SenateDems @POTUS @WhiteHouse @HouseDemocrats @OVWJustice @UNHumanRights
In Florida, gop lawmakers have decided to pass a bill which will allow c-sections to take place outside of hospitals. That's right, major abdominal surgery which has numerous risk factors associated with it no longer needs to be performed in an actual hospital in Florida. Actual medical experts including OBYGNs have stated that this law will put women at risk. Highlighting once again that the gop are not interested in the well being of pregnant patients.

A system that fails to protect our children from abusers - simply bc there is an assumption that children need 2 parents - is a system that is archaic & broken. Children thrive with one protective parent & do not need to love or spend time w an abuser. It’s twisted to assume so.

Atefeh, a mere 36, stood as a valiant voice in Iran’s #WomanLifeFreedom movement. Nightly, she boldly cried “Death to Khamenei” from her balcony. Tragically, the Islamic regime’s agents snatched her away, subjected her to brutal torture, and took her life. Her body was ruthlessly returned to her balcony, staged with a gas hose in a horrific attempt to fabricate a suicide. This heinous act exemplifies the regime’s deep-seated hatred towards women, their freedom, their hair, their dance, and their song. This is the cruel reality under a barbaric regime.

This is the kind of accountability we need. A system where judges can make horrific judgements with no consequence for themselves - will only breed more horrific decisions that devastates children and families. Judicial immunity produces a culture of impunity.
In May 2020, a Cleveland, Ohio judge ordered two teenage boys to a weekend in a juvenile detention center for refusing to go with their allegedly abusive father. That judge now faces the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct and may see sanctions including losing the seat he has...

'We implicitly believe that men have the right to a certain amount of violence. Our laws may pretend that we don’t, but the application of these laws demonstrate we do. It is within this environment that the idea of “parental alienation” has thrived.' themovementofmothers.org/202…

I’m excited to discuss how the child “welfare” system we rely on to protect children is actually a family policing system that imposes coercive control on parents (including mothers experiencing intimate partner violence) and harms their children—and why we must reimagine safety.
In keeping with our theme this year; Connecting The Dots: The Invisible Costs of Coercive Control, this session with @DorothyERoberts and @DrEmmaKatz joins up the personal with the systemic when talking about how the most vulnerable among us are victimized.

The climate of misogyny across the world leaves no place safe for women and girls. No town. No City. No Country. No Continent. No little square inch of our planet is safe for women and girls.
Security camera footage shows a 16-year-old girl, her hair uncovered, being dragged out of a subway car in Tehran on Sunday. She was unconscious on the train platform. It has fueled accusations that agents enforcing Iran’s dress code must have harmed her. nyti.ms/46xt4oa

Yes, in 21st-century we the women of Iran get killed for showing our hair! This 16-year-old girl with beautiful short hair is in coma after being assault by hijab police in Tehran’s metro. Now the authorities forced these two friends of her in hijab and brought them on a State TV to deny the assault. Their face in forced hijab says the truth. Be the voice of #ArmitaGravand whose mother got arrested and now we have no idea whether Armita is alive or not!

I supported and worked to pass Jennifers’ Law in Connecticut to help victims of coercive control- only to see that very law used against a victim of court-enabled post-separation abuse. I weigh in in @fitch_marc Marc Fitch’s story. insideinvestigator.org/twist…

The police didn’t listen to the women - the victims who survived an attack by PS & actually saw him. They said he was bearded with a local accent. They were ignored. Listen crime-analyst.com/the-forgot…

Please DM me for info from the Supreme Court. We need as many people as possible to write in. It doesn't matter where you are from. Judges are acting improperly and this will make law - not just a decision. @TheCCCIntl @coercivecontrol @WTNH #FamilyCourt Please retweet.
