Muhammad Sukkar thankfully survived, & he tells of the horrors he experienced (I hope beyond hope that he reunited with his mother.) I couldn't find anything on Dr. Basma Daoud's fate.. if someone does, please let me know. x.com/AJArabic/statu…

Everyone considering going to a music festival this summer should read "It's Like a Drive by Misogyny”: Sexual Violence at UK Music Festivals by Aviah Sarah Day #hannahbows #alishyadhir journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10… Dear Aviah Sarah Day pls can I speak to you about it? Please DM me

It was striking that @Labour are aiming only to halve violence against women and girls. How small the state's dreams for us are! Well I for one am looking forward to a time when a woman is killed by a man only every 5.4 days in the UK then #girldreams femicidecensus.org #2.7

I've just been sentenced to 5 years in prison. The longest ever for nonviolent action. The 'crime'? Giving a talk on civil disobedience as an effective, evidence-based method for stopping the elite from putting enough carbon in the atmosphere to send us to extinction. I have

Content warning: Sexual assault This data is from FOIs West Yorkshire Police Thames Valley Police Why are the SAG & Licensing groups Leeds Council Help Reading Borough Council tolerating this violence against Women & Girls Reading & Leeds Fest? Where are your task forces? #rapeculture #nojustice @safegigs4women

Just four out of more than 100 reported sexual offences at Reading and Leeds music festivals since 2018 have so far resulted in prosecutions, according to figures shared with the Observer. By me, for the Observer theguardian.com/society/articl…

The figures include 16 reported rapes of women at Leeds festival between 2018 and 2023, none of which have so far led to a prosecution. Police say recent offences may still be working their way through the system, but some fear not enough is being done to protect women girls

There were 52 reports of sexual assaults at Reading between 2021 and 2023, of which just three have so far led to prosecutions, though there have been ten arrests in response to the 22 offences reported in 2023 theguardian.com/society/articl…

There were 50 reported sexual offences at Leeds from 2018 to 2023, with only one of these so far leading to a prosecution and conviction. Unlike Reading, there has been no recent uptick in arrests either. theguardian.com/society/articl…

“There has been a normalisation of this violence against women and girls, which just says, ‘oh, well, you’d expect that’, or ‘those are the numbers, that’s pretty much the national average’,” said Amy Sharrocks, a women's rights activist who secured the figures under FOI

Thank you The Guardian Chaminda Jayanetti hoping for action now theguardian.com/society/articl…

Its so interesting reading the negative reviews of Selina Thompson's new play 'Twine' that critically unpacks systemic harm adoption has for Black children. Critics wanted a trauma porn story &'Salt' pt. 2. She said f-that. So now they [white theatre land] are attacking her pen..

One of the more scathing reviews is from a female South Asian critic. Who attempts to call the very real lived experiences &decades of research/reports about how adoption/care systems harms Black children 'theories'. theguardian.com/stage/article/…

The thing 'Salt' was not trauma porn, it was a painful embodied / autobiographical retelling of the legacy of slavery upon the living descendants. Selina made it clear performing the work as 1-woman show was harming her, so rightfully she stopped.

So a lot of the criticism of her new work &the comparisons to ‘Salt’ is white theatre land wanting Black trauma porn &a BW to be literally harmed for their entertainment & pleasure #racismisakink
