Fantastic to see Media Watch calling out the ideological capture LGBTQ lobby group ACON has over ABC, not to mention other public institutions. Well done to the women’s advocates who have been working hard to expose this scandal for years. Read more: bit.ly/WFA6522
On Sky News Australia w Rita Panahi re male sex offender in VIC’s women’s prison. Politicians talk a big game when it comes to ending violence against women, but when there’s an actual issue to resolve, they all go MIA. It’s hypocrisy at it’s worst.

Our CEO Rachael Wong tells Rita Panahi it’s “appalling we’ve had to go as far as to reach out to the international community to secure what should be very basic safety standards for these vulnerable imprisoned women'

My response to a comment that says we must “trust” those in Victoria who made the decision to put a man convicted of serious sexual offences against women & children, in a prison with vulnerable women 🤔 Sall Grover

“Rape is a specific form of torture used most frequently against women. To subject female prisoners to the perpetual threat of rape & sexual assault is a form of psychological torture” (p3). Read our joint submission to the United Nations 🇺🇳🇦🇺 bit.ly/UNSPT2022 #KeepPrisonsSingleSex
The United Nations Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture begins its visit to Aus today 🇺🇳🇦🇺 We & other women’s advocates, have made a joint submission re the harms of housing men in women’s prisons, esp. re the male sex offender in VICs women’s prison womensforumaustralia.org/womens_advocat…
UK Lord Chancellor & Minister of Justice said convicted males with trans identities WILL NOT be housed in the female prison estate.
This is NOT the case in Australia.

The VicEO+HumanRights responded to communication by WomensForumAustralia, Stassja Frei & myself regarding the male sex offender in a womens prison based on their “gender identity”.
At this stage, it appears as though the male sex offender is not going anywhere, namely the male estate, fast.
QLD’s proposed self-ID laws will allow men who identify as women to access women's single sex spaces, incl change rooms, prisons & public toilets. If in Brisbane, please go to IWDBrisbaneMeanjin’s event to take a stand & be better informed about the harms to women’s rights & safety.
I’m running out of words to describe my astonishment. Just over 3 weeks after #MahsaAmini ’s death, women are defiantly walking on the streets of #Tehran , with no hijab…while cars are honking in their supports. Mahsa couldn’t have imagined how she changed life for many Iranians.
