"I was born in the Nuseirat refugee camp and it made me who I am. The Nuseirat massacre will not be the last in Gaza, but like all massacres committed by colonialists, it will be a signpost in our long walk to freedom that will not be forgotten."

Men need to be vocal about this.
Write to your MP. Write to Seymour. Tell them in no uncertain terms that you condemn this & fully support consulting in general & the Ministry for Women in particular.

Apart from everything else, telling us that the Health system is in ruins while simultaneously removing a sensible primary health measure from a demonstrably vulnerable group is outrageously stupid. Prevention is cheaper.
