The vilification of Colin Harvey is a disgrace. It should be recognised for what it is: a serious threat to academic independence and freedom of expression.

The sexual violence committed by #Russian-backed forces against #Ukrainian women beginning in 2014 caused "immense trauma. That was deliberate. SV was used as a weapon of war." #GenderingGeopolitics #UkraineRussiaWar #Ukraine Mukwege Foundation Global Survivors Fund x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Folks, please DONATE. We should not be under any illusions: the darkest hour is before dawn. Putin is wounded and now even more dangerous. The Ukrainians are exhausted and need you.
