To mark #NationalStorytellingWeek we’re talking about diversity in children’s literature!📚

See the thread below on fostering empathy, inclusion and representation and how you can support our work. 👇

An open letter to the NI Executive regarding the puberty blockers ban 1 / 5

Dear NI Executive, We, the undersigned, would like to put on record our disappointment in not only your decision to ban puberty blockers for trans youth, but also your refusal to release the evidence you used to inform your decision. Public trust in our political institutions is at an all time low, and telling people that this information is "not in the public interest" disregards accountability & is condescending. 2 / 5

We also fail to see how releasing the evidence informing a decision like this "has the potential to damage the concept of collective responsibility". It may be argued privately shared opinions within discussions do, but certainly not the evidence which informed those discussions. So therefore we demand that, in the spirit of full accountability, the NI Executive releases all evidence they used in relation to this decision. 3 / 5

📣 Happy to announce more signatories to our open letter!
