#COVID19 lockdowns and quarantines seem to be reducing crime rates outside.

But inside - at home - increased rates of domestic abuse are a reminder of another kind of global pandemic: violence against women and children.

Home has never been safe for everyone. #coronavirus

When we say toxic masculinity is deadly, do men understand it hurts them too?

A poll of nearly 4,500 American adults found that men, across race, political persuasion and community type, were more likely to dismiss the potential of #COVID19 to hurt them. theguardian.pe.ca/news/world/us-…
Men were found to be less interested than others in following health tips aimed at slowing the spread of the #coronavirus pandemic, including personal, proactive measures such as avoiding physical contact and washing their hands more often.

#COVID19
- 54% of women said they were "very concerned" about the virus compared with 45% of men.
- 73% of women reported washing their hands more often and using disinfectants more frequently, compared with 60% of men.

At least 5 US states are using #COVID19 to suspend abortion access, deeming it non-essential. In #Canada provinces & territories have placed new limits on the kinds of surgeries and procedures being provided, but have deemed abortions an essential service
google.com/amp/s/beta.ctv…
“...it's time sensitive and it's medical necessary...The worst case scenario, if we closed our doors, is somebody trying to do it themselves…in places in the world where abortion is illegal and unacceptable, women die." #Canada #COVID19
Not having access to abortion doesn’t mean it doesn't happen.

"People who want an abortion will put their lives on the line to get one, and you want to make sure that if it's being done, it's being done safely," Rolanda Ryan, owner of an abortion clinic in St. John's, N.L.

@PeterMacKay @CPC_HQ You don't even have a seat in @OurCommons! Who are u, PRIVATE CITIZEN, to demand an election? Oh, that's right, you're the guy who was in govt when it's response to swine flu was to send BODY BAGS to 1st Nations reserves in Manitoba.

@PeterMacKay @CPC_HQ @OurCommons You're the guy who wore a sweater with OUR national symbol, the maple leaf, defaced with an image of an assault rifle, while you were THE FEDERAL MINISTER OF JUSTICE! Just what Canada needs, a PRO NRA Prime Minister

@PeterMacKay @CPC_HQ @OurCommons In keeping with your Pro Gun stance ideology you promoted vigilantism against 1st Nations Ppl. Aside from the danger of that, it shows exactly how you feel about Indigenous People & what to expect from u, should the terrifying prospect of u being PM occur

Pourquoi la piste de la #CHLOROQUINE n'est PAS une #FAKEMED concernant l'épidémie de #CORONAVIRUS #COVIDー19 . On en parle dans ce fil, sources a l'appuis, car j'ai vu passer un certains d'arguments fallacieux à ce sujet.
D'abords, on est tous d'accord pour dire que la "#CHLOROQUINE est LE traitement du #CORONAVIRUS" n'est pas une phrase acceptable, mais personne ne l'a prononcer dans la sphère médiatique, alors passons sur ce qui ressemble a un argument homme de paille.
On est tous d'accord pour dire que ce traitement ne doit pas être pris sans l'avis d'un médecin, mais de toute façon il nécessite une prescription médicale et... c'est le cas pour tous les traitements nécessitant une prescription médicale. #OBVIOUS

Trump’s WORLDWIDE Effect on the Global Reproductive Rights of Women

Trump and his conservative Christian-centric administration are using positions of authority to impose religious policies on long-established reproductive rights that put women around the world at risk.
Background

Ronald Reagan signed the Mexico City Policy in 1984. This sweeping mandate against reproductive freedom around the globe denied,

“US federal funds to any organisation involved in providing abortion services overseas or counselling women about them.”
Though revoked by every Democrat and reinstated by every Republican
since, Trump has taken up the cause with renewed vigor.

Every time the global gag has been reimposed by a Republican president, rates of back street and self-administered abortions have increased.
