Wir begrüßen, dass die Bundesregierung mit ihrem Aktionsplan die Belange lesbischer und bisexueller Frauen stärker berücksichtigen (Punkt 2.1) und gegen sexuelle Gewalt bei Jugendlichen angehen möchte (Punkt 3.6). Wir weisen jedoch darauf hin, dass dies ein leeres Versprechen ist
wenn Geschlecht nicht biologisch verstanden wird und wenn diese Definition nicht von internalisierten Geschlechterstereotypen („Geschlechtsidentität“) abgegrenzt wird. Eine Frau ist ein erwachsener Mensch weiblichen Geschlechts,
Thank you #Barrie Women’s and children’s shelter and the survivors sharing their stories of domestic violence #endVAW but you all want justice and the right kind #VoteNDP 
Being a survivor of domestic violence myself. I’ve been called ‘Detective Annie’ for all the nonsense I’ve been through
The following add on tweets is what I’ve read yesterday and took screen shots of this write up (warning some may be disturbing to some)

Violence against women starts early: 1⃣ in 4⃣ young women (aged 15-24 years) who have been in a relationship will have already experienced violence by an intimate partner by the time they reach their mid-twenties.

Rita has been working in our clinic for two years. She has seen hundreds of patients – but she can’t forget Mabel. #EndVAW
When Mabel came to our clinic, Rita couldn’t figure out why she was there. After talking for a long time, she could see that Mabel was very afraid of trusting people.
Back in #Uganda, Mabel was believed to be a witch. She had many scars, not only on her body but also emotionally

Mabel came back to our clinic many times as she had to slowly rebuild her trust in people.
Rita was very happy when she saw the huge progress Mabel had made. Being able to register with a #GP and access #healthcare helped her build up her trust and her agency.

I’ve seen this report / thesis covered in multiple places now and the coverage has been poor. What is it about the sex industry that means critical thinking gets thrown out the window? smh.com.au/lifestyle/life…
Firstly, there is always *always* a set of power relations involved in purchasing sexual access to another person. We shouldn’t celebrate women purchasing sexual access to others, just as we shouldn’t celebrate men purchasing sexual access to others. It is a form of coercion.
Secondly, I’ve been conducting research in this space for about 15 years. There are constant claims about the ‘increasing’ number of women purchasing sex, but with virtually no evidence. Let’s keep this in perspective: The people who purchase sexual access are overwhelmingly men.
Chocking in porn is something feminists critical of the porn industry have been raising for at least a decade. What happens when you eroticise #MVAW en masse? (and then tell everyone it’s not MVAW) This. A must read. #EndVAW #pornharms theguardian.com/society/2019/j…
And, of course, there is a female pornographer saying the real problem is that choking isn’t generally shown in an appropriate BDSM context. Which is just more gaslighting. We have to be able to name men’s violence against women if we ever hope to address it, let alone end it.

Something else I try to do every year on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is to tweet parts of Dworkin's "I Want a 24 Hour Truce During Which There Is No Rape." Read it in full here: rapereliefshelter.bc.ca/learn/resource… #MVAW #EndVAW #VAW #VAWG #16Days
