Really excited to see this published today in Medical Law International - my latest article considering the construction of the best interests of women with a SMI in the obstetric context and the untapped potential of advance decisions.

Congratulations to ENNHRI for the fantastic contribution in this climate case! Major achievement. I am so proud! 👏

New on #JGBV: The violence and humiliation of a silenced practice Read about the experience of women who underwent post-vaginal birth rectal examinations and the lasting impact it had on them ⤵️ #ObstericViolence #SexualViolence ow.ly/t9aB50R9mmy

Intent vs impact…this is a clear example of the gaslighting that happens when women speak out about very real and serious issues. Our view points are labeled “emotionally charged” and those who should be listening and learning double down, minimize, and play victim instead.

Not shocked by this commentary, but disappointed that AJOG gave it a platform. Responding as someone who added some to those 200+ publications on #ObstetricViolence This is exactly how a deeply concerning issue that needs urgent attention gets diluted #EmotionallyCharged

Highly recommended to anyone else healing from institutional racism: “Scholars of color are often pushed out of traditional disciplinary departments, forced through bullying, harassment, & hostile work environments… [R]aising problems becomes translated into being the problem.”

the news: - 3 women murdered by an ex with a crossbow - Tampons have arsenic & lead in them - 80% of all Autoimmune diseases in women due to the role they play societally - Men abusing women goes up 38% when England lose the internet: has feminism gone too far?
