Anyone else save everything they've written? I clearly have always been concerned w/ fighting male perpetrators. Below, I discuss fighting off a man with a dagger, turning him into police, getting my $50 reward, & going shopping. I was likely about 9 or 10. #Memories

Gender parity in politics is the first step, but not the only step as I wrote in 2023: Gender-equal cabinets have done little so far for women and girls living with male violence (March 30, 2023) policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/marc…

This is such a clear example of the systemic erasure of #MVAWG and #femicide. What happened to the who, what, when, where and why of reporting? If a man killed a woman, which is likely given the context, say that! #CallItFemicide
