#OrangeTheWorld - A thread on reproductive control, coercion and entrapment 🧵

As a #trapped populations scholar, I have lately spent a lot of time thinking about reproductive #coercion, #control and #entrapment. (i)
The #familycourts appear to fail to understand, acknowledge and interrupt these dynamics of #coercivecontrol in their current system. (ii)
Many perpetrators of #coercivecontrol will already begin to put pressure on or introduce the idea of a child during the early love bombing phase. (iii)

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today and remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it. Image
In general terms, it manifests itself in physical, sexual and psychological forms, encompassing:

- intimate partner violence (battering, psychological abuse, marital rape, femicide);
- sexual violence and harassment (rape, forced sexual acts, unwanted sexual advances,...
...child sexual abuse, forced marriage, street harassment, stalking, cyber- harassment);
- human trafficking (slavery, sexual exploitation);
- female genital mutilation; and
- child marriage

Take a stand, speak out and report violence against women and girls!

Un peu d’histoire... de violence !

Épouser son propre bourreau pour garder son honneur : voici la première femme qui a refusé le mariage réparateur.

La coutume du mariage réparateur est en vigueur dans le monde depuis des siècles et repose sur l'hypothèse que marier une femme
qui a été violée, et donc sans honneur, est un moyen de la sauver d'un avenir incertain, fait de solitude et de répudiation (ou d'isolement!). Dans de nombreux pays, cette pratique est tout à fait possible, dans d'autres, elle est interdite par la loi.
L'histoire de Franca Viola,
victime sicilienne d'abus sexuels dans les années 60, en dit long sur la question en Italie, où le mariage réparateur n'a été officiellement déclaré illégal qu'en 1981.

La première à se rebeller devant toute la nation.

Franca Viola est née dans la ville d'Alcamo en

Understanding Satanic Orange Order Child Sacrifice

When we hear the word "Slavery" the first thing that comes to our mind is slavery back in the days of our forefathers and before our countries achieved independence.

Slavery, however, didn't end with those times. It's still practised in modern forms and styles.

A thread.
Although modern slavery isn't defined in law, it is hidden under different forms like:

1. Forced & early marriage
2. Forced labour
3. Human trafficking
4. Debt bondage
5. Slavery of children

These are some of the major forms of slavery practised worldwide.
According to the  International Labour Organisation @ilo (ILO) more than 40 million people worldwide are victims of modern slavery.

- 1 in 4 of them are children.
- Almost three quarters (71%) are women and girls.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and women in Turkey have been on the frontlines to fight for their hard-earned rights when it comes to protection against violence this year. #IDEVAW
Murders of women have increased by 1,400 percent between 2002 and 2009 in Turkey, and recent years have seen an average of 400 femicides a year.

According to the WHO, 38% of women in Turkey are subject to domestic violence. #OrangeTheWorld
Instead of advocating for women’s rights, Turkey’s President Erdoğan decided to withdraw from the ‘Istanbul Convention’ last July, which was the first legally binding instrument that “creates a comprehensive legal framework and approach to combat violence against women.”

Ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich zum Internationalen Tag gegen Gewalt an Frauen etwas posten soll. Einfach ist er für mich nie, der Tag. Aber ich tu es. Ich will Mut machen. 1/

Dieses Foto da oben, das bedeutet mir viel. Es hätte nämlich gut sein können, dass es das gar nicht gegeben hätte. Nämlich dann, wenn ich weiter "gekämpft" hätte. Weiter gewurschtelt. Weiter gelitten. Weiter in einer Beziehung geblieben wäre, die mehr war als nur kompliziert. /2
Sie war fatal. Geprägt von emotionaler und physischer Gewalt. Von einem 'An sich binden', das als Liebe verkauft wurde.
Dieses Foto entstand auf einer Reise, die ich in dieser Beziehung niemals machen hätte können. Es war meine zweimonatige Italienreise auf Goethes Spuren. /3

Behind the Arab gulf states’ shining towers sits a patriarchal fiefdom that has revived slavery in the 21st century. #IDEVAW
The Kafala system in the Gulf means that employers pretty much “own” their female domestic workers.

Verbal abuse, physical abuse and rape are rife. When the female workers fight back, they are sentenced to death for murder.
Only 2 weeks ago, a Saudi man was caught on tape attempting to rape his Kenyan domestic worker. #OrangeTheWorld

'China renamed Rosa – From childhood sold five times'

The life of China, called by at least three names and sold five times, illustrates how impossible it was for a slave to hold onto even the most basic unit of identity. China of Singaracolla was sold into slavery as a child.
Six years later, ‘China, renamed Rosa’ was sold for 18 pagados, to a VOC sailor, Hendrik Hillman. A month after this, now recorded as ‘Rosa’, she was sold at a 100 percent profit to a Dutch ship’s captain, Cornelius Bosch.
He set sail five months later on the Bovenkerker Polder bound for Cape Town and took her with him.
The final record of sale was in 1775, when China was 16 or 17; she was bought by the most senior clergyman of the Cape, Johannes Serrurier.

So.
I cannot sleep. And I didn't know why. Now I do.
It is because of these images of journalists sticking their mics in front of a victim battered DAYS AGO, who is still under 6weeks of a Ceaserean section. She needs a hospital, not a presser.
Her attacker appears unchallenged.
In the first place, as journalists, we owe it to this society, that even when the law fails, even when a governor and his wife endorse domestic violence by seeking reconciliation rather than medical and legal assessment - we owe it to victims to prioritise THEM, not their pain.
I'm disturbed that these images suggest:
No journalist reminded everybody that we are in the middle of #OrangeTheWorld globally. No journalist felt the need to reconsider this public, group-interviewing of a woman with scars still bright red on her face.
Clickbait kills empathy.

@BitiTendai is supposedly a national leader as VP of MDCA, a Christian and lawyer but the way he behaved is NOT acceptable.
He shouted at me, called me “stupid very stupid” several time’s and made me feel intimidated, belittled and publicly humiliated.
@BitiTendai violated my rights as a woman. He violently pointed his fingers at my face and threatened me. To put this into context neither me nor my company had any prior dealings with this man, we have never spoken to him and yet his behavior was irrational, hysterical...
