Attacks on trans people are part of a wider annexing and misuse of an agenda to defend the rights of women and girls, also being used to offset financial crises onto migrants while the real threat to us, imperialist, racial and patriarchal capitalism, is fed. (3/4)

Italian parliament unanimously votes to make femicide a crime The gender-motivated murder of a woman will now be covered by a distinct clause in Italian law - punishable by a life sentence.

The public problem has been given a name in Italy -as 'femicide'. Yet, far broader measures against gender-based violence and gender inequality are needed in the economic, institutional, and cultural-educational fields to advance towards its solution.

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.
