this town has a divided street downtown w nice grassy areas & trees like a park. but in front of the building where services exist for people w few resources, this is what city leaders decided to do. nowhere else

so many ways to put people in jails & it's sad and unnecessary

She adds, “we didn’t know, we were just asking for help to try in this society and the chances were none. It was clear”, Maya explained that since moving to the US she has experienced and witnessed how immigrant families are pushed into the criminal justice and “child welfare” systems due to rigid and unfair societal expectations that are grounded in racism and xenophobia. She reiterated that seeking help often resulted in her and others being funneled into punitive systems. All mothers explained how they felt like they were being forced into become a 74 “statistic” and shared the stress of having to live up to societal expectations—the need to be perfect. They discussed how in schools, their children were treated poorly because of this country’s rigid and inflexible ways of teaching. When there was any sense of deviation from the norm, immigrant children were forced into therapies and were given medication. Further, Black and Latinx mothers in my dissertation shared experiences of being judged against unreasonable and unfair societal standards. In one example the mothers talked about how the system enacts rules that do not reasonably accommodate non-white non-western cultures: Mel: I know, I understand and I accept it and everything you know. Like I try, and everything. I move the bed you know. And sometimes, sometimes they don’t... we don’t know. It’s always excuse, excuse, excuse. Always. Like this room is too small. But you know what, in Mexico we all have kids in one bed. Jada: Right we do the same thing. Ten to a room. Maya: That’s how we do it you know. Jada: It’s your family. We don’t mind being close we like it.

When will you be investigating #BetterHelp by #Teladoc ? What's done with the therapy session data, including "de-identified"? Does de-identification actually de-identify? Is that consent?
or
Does your advertising contract prevent you from investigating them?

#404Media great reporting but SO ironic & damaging to #mh advocacy that you keep on endorsing #BetterHelp by #Teladoc. Repeatedly asked to stop. Silence.

#Cristosal 's press release with ALT text
(goto Settings > Accessibility > check box "require ALT text before posting" for reminder)
Cristosal URGENT: SHORT-TERM ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCE OF SALVADORAN HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER San Salvador, May 19, 2025. Cristosal denounces that Ruth López, our colleague and Head of the Anti-Corruption Unit, is likely the victim of a short-term enforced disappearance, which constitutes a serious human rights violation under international law Ruth was detained by agents of the National Civil Police at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Sunday. As of now, neither her family nor her legal team has been able to confirm her whereabouts or the detention center where she is being held. The authorities’ refusal to disclose her location or to allow access to her legal representatives is a blatant violation of due process, the right to legal defense, and international standards of judicial protection. Under these conditions, the case meets the criteria for an enforced disappearance, as defined by the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. We urgently demand the following from the Salvadoran State: > Official and verifiable information regarding Ruth López’s whereabouts. > Full and immediate access for her legal team. > Effective guarantees for her physical, psychological, and legal integrity. This situation raises serious concerns about the increasing risks faced by human rights defenders in El Salvador.
