Not In Our Name (NION) Women

@nionwomen.bsky.social

⚠️ Women in the UK don’t need to be told what danger looks like — we live it every day.

⛔ One woman is killed by a man every three days in this country (Femicide Census, 2023)

⛔ In 2023, 1.7 million women experienced domestic abuse (ONS, 2023).

It is not trans people who perpetrate these crimes.

we know intimately what the real threat to women looks like.

Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat.

Not trans people.

Not in our name. NION Women icon.

Exciting and practical house designs coming out of Scandinavia

The photo pf the huge container ship run aground in the garden of a small coastal house. I've photoshopped an arrow to the house with 'House to Live in', and another arrow to the ship that says 'a room to keep books in'.

We moved to the UK partly because we felt that the discussions, attitudes and structures around race were more evolved that on the continent. I still strongly believe that.

No body could have realised....right?

Seye Abimbola @seyeabimbola.bsky.social · Mar 1

How epistemic injustice in research kills:

This essay (www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...) reminds us: When the excuse for bad research is "‘Nobody could have realised..." we should always respond with "Really – nobody?"

"The other side of a culture of silence and silencing is one of not listening.

"The other side of a culture of silence and silencing is one of not listening. Because, of course, many women do speak up, have always spoken up, and it is not only ‘bad’ men who ignore them. A group of researchers at the University of Cambridge recently reported on a study in Northern India where remotely operated drones were meant to be used to monitor wildlife. They found that the technology was used instead by local government and male villagers to surveil and humiliate women. Some women who worked together in the forest felt so intimidated that they softened the singing they used to deter attacks from predators. One was subsequently killed by a tiger. The lead researcher, who I have no reason to think is anything other than a very good guy, commented: ‘Nobody could have realised that camera traps put in the Indian forest to monitor mammals actually have a profoundly negative impact on the mental health of local women who use these spaces.’ Really – nobody?"
