This mentality is why we end up with politicians & journalists only focused on their own egos and careers, rather than their responsibilities to the electorate and readership.
All only seeking their own ends.

Need to get better at using this app - but still so torn between the two, and feel a bit concerned re the limitations upon Arabic speakers and subsequent account closures of Palestinian accounts.
Has this issue improved?
I definitely donβt want to be part of an app that is even less diverse & fair

Here's what's revealed in Al Jazeera's damning new documentary into Israel's war crimes
Israel using Palestinians as human shields, rape, glorification of war crimes, & snipers targeting children: the new Al Jazeera documentary
ICC, ICJ, UN experts, human rights groups, doctors, aid groups - they're all right about Israel's genocide in Gaza.
If you have any doubts, watch Al Jazeera's documentary.
The genocide has exposed the evil at the heart of the US-Israel-UK axis.

Weβd rather not be assaulted, abused and at risk of harm in the first place - let alone the fact that these crimes are rarely successfully charged and convicted, further empowering abusers and making victims, and future victims, more unsafe.

Do you think that the legal framework and criminalisation of sexual assault, violence and abuse has reduced the occurrence?
Or do we think that the failure to find the solution to misogyny, address the root cause, simply depending on the justice system, has made it worse?

Hearing an Israeli genocide scholar speak recently, Omer Bartov, talk of how not only are Palestinians dehumanised, but the very act of occupying dehumanises the occupier, makes me see how every time a person turns away from these horrors, they lose a bit of their own humanity

Criminalisation of sex offences and abuse of women and girls has hardly reduced said abuses, if anything you could argue itβs fostered an increase as a result of so many legitimate cases going unheard and abusers walking free, assaults going undeterred. We need education in schools, stop misogyny

Having had my first spiking incident a few months ago, I have to admit, itβs a real fear now for public spaces, never felt so powerless and vulnerable as I did afterwards. But I canβt help but feel itβs too hard to recognise and prove at the time, that criminalisation isnβt a solution, education is

This is progress.
Once you are in poverty, unless youβre able to access some sort of consolidation loan to manage the costs of getting back on your feet, you simply live under a βpoverty taxβ
