"This is our Srebrenica moment. Just like the siege of Sarajevo, which was happening in full view of the world, el-Fasher is being destroyed while everyone watches. If no one intervenes, there will be no one left to save," Mahmoud told NPR's Morning Edition.

Sudan's army has lost its last foothold of el-Fasher, in Darfur, to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Now warnings are mounting of a second genocide as mass killings unfold before the world.

"Women in our communities are paying the price of racist, anti-migrant narratives legitimised by those in positions of power.

Their claims that they are concerned with protecting women and girls is an insult to all of us."
We are horrified by reports of yet another racially motivated rape.

We stand in solidarity with the woman attacked in Walsall.

Black and minoritised women are disproportionately targeted with male violence and systematically failed when they report this abuse. We demand justice!

We also need to see reform of the “pro contact culture” that has led to routine minimising and dismissal of serious concerns about abuse.

We urge government to build on this by finally implementing the recommendations of the 2020 Harm Panel report.

Incredible news! We strongly welcome plans to repeal the presumption of parental involvement, which will protect children from abuse & save lives.

This is a long overdue change to how our family courts operate.

Friendship, a Modern but Ancient Topic ~ الصَّداقةُ عنوانٌ قديمٌ متجدِّدٌ
Basil Younis Thanoon Abstract Friendship is an ancient concept that has been renewed in every era. It is a human value as old as humanity, and human existence has been linked to it since the dawn of history. Ancient Greek philosophers discussed the concept of "friendship," and Aristotle defined it as "a mutual concern for the happiness of another person, not for personal interest or benefit." Mathematics graduate David Constant*, who holds a master's and doctorate in Greek and Latin literature, also discussed the topic of friendship in his book (Friendship in the Classical World).
