Is gang-related violence becoming worse in small islands?
In a new episode of the #SmallIslandsBigPicture podcast, we’re exploring this urgent question – and why investing in young people, communities and regional collaboration must be part of the solution.

Coventry University supports 12,200 jobs across the country and has more than 235,000 alumni globally, who are estimated to contribute £560 million to the UK economy alone over their lifetime.
Coventry University are trying to sack hundreds of staff and introduce fire and rehire for hundreds more.
Yet their billboards boast of job creation in the area.
This from John Latham, a Vice Chancellor paid £320,000 plus an £80,000 ‘bonus’ for overseeing this shambles.
Universities' existential crisis latest: Coventry University lost £60m last year and its auditors now question its ability to continue in being. Stop this madness now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jeans nerd here- iron heat, Japanese selvedge, etc. Wash as little as reasonably possible for the best fades, particularly raw unsanforized denim. 3-6 months between washes is not unusual... and they don’t smell. ‘Fading’ is a subculture….

"When we talk about homicide rates in any country, we don’t mention that it’s 90% men killing men. So why are we not speaking about this from a gender perspective?"

“We need a new solution to the global crisis of armed violence.”
Time to focus on men and masculinities.

Brilliant report by a brilliant fella on why violence research and policy needs to take masculinities seriously 👇🏻

The manosphere, fascism & austerity are on the march, hand-in-hand.

'No Man's Land' report OUT TODAY!
If 90% of global homicide perpetrators and victims are men, why aren’t we taking about the role of gender in this violence? ...we ignore the role of masculinities in armed violence at our peril.
