15 yrs ago, while hiking on my own, I was violently assaulted & raped. Every anniversary, I go for a solo hike to remind myself I can still do it, that there is great beauty to be found, even after trauma. Here’s today’s hike. And my essay I always post 👉tinyurl.com/482k67e9 ImageImage

“Nobody listened. Nobody cared”

A cry for help from Ifeoma Blossom Joy Obiora, a 27 year old mother who put out this and other statements that appeared to be a suicide note via her face book page to draw attention to her plight at the hand of the husband Onyebuchi Obiorah,
a Motor parts dealer at Nnewi. Both parties hail from Nnewi.

She is in danger, currently locked in with her abuser. We tried to reach out to people to check on her following her Facebook post.
We have been working our phones and when we thought help had come and four policemen
sent on rescue to her.
The worst happened, that despite her plea the police officers started blaming her for crying out for help after narrating her ordeal and the physical and mental torture.

The husband assaulted her right while police officers were trying to gain entrance.

A thread on what it’s like to be a female academic conducting critical research into the sex industry - or a journey through my last month at work. #MVAW #VAW #EndVAWG #EndDemand #highered #academia
Invited to speak at a UN consultation relating to gender, business and human rights. Despite discussions of the Modern Slavery Act and trafficking, no-one really wanted to talk about trafficking for sexual exploitation. #humantrafficking #modernslavery
But we do, as a wonderful colleague has worked hard to have panel specifically on aspects of this. At the last minute, the line-up is changed to include someone speaking on behalf of a sex industry lobby group.
