The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.

project Ex. on Substack Thank you @𝙅𝙤 ⚢📖🏳️‍🌈 for thoughtfully walking people through through the extremely common circumstances of abuse dynamics, historical context and intersectional nuance. 🖤

Some appreciation for the writing of @unknowncanon.bsky.social in connection with public Cassie Ventura discourse.

"A man will say he's a feminist but he doesn't wipe the counters": Lyz Lenz on the beauty of divorce In "This American Ex-Wife," Lenz celebrates the freedom — and free time — women get from ditching their husbands

Divorce is usually framed like a tragedy. The dirty secret: A lot of women find life on the other side is a beautiful thing.

I spoke with @lyzl about her new book celebrating divorce.

Great counterpoint to all the pressure on women to get married!

I'm part of this Facebook group for women and a member just shared that she was being abused. The way everyone united to support her and lift her up made my heart swell. Can y'all imagine how unstoppable we would be if women always stood in solidarity like that?

More to come.

Handy #security awareness for post-incident response and general preparedness.

This is why we exist 👋🏾:

MeToo was never about court cases. The framework of MeToo created by Tarana Burke has always been about supporting survivors.

Just because 8.5x11s want to center perpetrators doesn’t erase what the actual work is about.

"Domestic violence is the leading cause of death for Black women between the ages of 15 to 35." Didn't know that. http://t.co/AgRIyeJAVD

“[Southall Black Sisters] surpassed expectations […]. I appreciate the help in my life and [for] my children. At this crucial moment, going through painful emotions, childcare, immigration, domestic abuse, financial difficulties, there I discovered SBS that came to set me free. They kept me abreast of all procedures until my Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession was granted, I jumped for joy! Thank you so much SBS.”

G contacted Southall Black Sisters’ (SBS) helpline seeking assistance as a victim-survivor of domestic abuse. As a migrant woman on a Spouse Visa with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF), all the professionals G had sought help from were unsure about how to support G and her children due to her immigration status. Even though G is from outside our catchment area, our helpline advocated on her behalf by liaising with Social Services. SBS’ Legal Services assisted G by applying for the Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession (MVDAC) which allowed G temporary recourse to public funds while she applied to regularise her immigration status. G is currently looking to move into safe accommodation along with her children.

For #16CaseStudiesFor16DaysOfActivism, we share G’s account of the complexities migrant victim-survivors face upon fleeing abuse and seeking help.

G’s account highlights the value of specialist, community-based ‘by and for’ intervention in helping women lead lives free of violence.

#WomensHistoryMonth Did you know that #Oscar winner Halle Berry is disabled? She uses hearing aids and lost 80% of her hearing in her left ear due to domestic violence.

She made #WomensHistory as the first Black woman to win an Academy Award for Best Actress.

'Black, minoritised and migrant women’s experiences of domestic abuse and other forms of violence are often invisibilised in official reports.’
 
For #InternationalWomensMonth we spoke to @voicenewspaper.bsky.social about the timely yet lacking NAO report published earlier this year. 1/3
