  1. There's no surprises here for women in their 60s+.

    Times were different. Class C National Insurance, often no pensions on offer, expectations to stay home, part-time, low pay even in the same jobs as men.

    Women can't catch up on those decades, can't time-travel & build pensions.

    Let's hope future generations of women have equality in retirement.

  2. Here's an even longer interview with Kathrine Switzer. I'm completely spellbound by her.

    This story stirs up so many emotions. Why did it have to be that way for so long? And why are we still taking steps backward? What's wrong with people?

  3. Nazila Maerufian, the online reporter was released for the 4th time in a year


    Her conditional releas today came as a surprise since the regime is actively looking for an excuse to put dissidents in prison to prevent any protests on the aniversary of the tragic death of Mahsa Amini that is coming in a few days.

    #WomensRight are bolstered by vote of #EuropeanParliament

    "Today, the European Parliament voted on a progressive report that would significantly improve legislation on sexual and domestic violence at EU level. The proposed directive sets out minimum EU-wide rules on the definition of criminal offences and penalties in the areas of the sexual exploitation of #women and children and computer crime.

    It also aims to close gaps in protection and access to..."

  6. "[#Mifepristone has] been on the market for more than 20 years after a four-year approval process by the #FDA. And it's used safely in over 60 countries. This is just another example of extremists trying to take away #womensright to make their own decisions about their #healthcare."—Sen #AmyKlobuchar

  7. Dr Amelia Huntsberger, a Bonner General Health obstetrician-gynecologist, wrote in an email to the Capital Sun that she would be leaving the hospital and the state because of its restrictive abortion laws, and because the Idaho legislature was terminating its maternal mortality review committee.

    “What a sad, sad state of affairs for our community,” Huntsberger wrote.

  8. In August, the justice department filed a lawsuit against Idaho for its near-total ban on abortions, with doctors in the state writing in a court brief that physicians were often forced to choose between violating the state ban or federal healthcare law, the Associated Press reported.

    The implications of the ban is driving doctors out of the state, the Bonner hospital’s press release said.

    “The Idaho legislature continues to introduce and pass bills that criminalize physicians for medical care nationally recognized as the standard of care,” the hospital’s statement said.

    “Consequences for Idaho physicians providing the standard of care may include civil litigation and criminal prosecution, leading to jail time or fines.”

  9. Idaho hospital to stop delivering babies as doctors flee over abortion ban
    Near-total ban on abortions is driving doctors away, hospital says, leading to lack of nearby labor and delivery care for thousands

    An Idaho hospital has planned to stop delivering babies, with the medical center’s managers citing increasing criminalization of physicians and the inability to retain pediatricians as major reasons.

    Bonner General Health, the only hospital in Sandpoint, in the north-west of the state, announced on Friday it would no longer provide labor, delivery and a host of other obstetrical services.

    The more than 9,000 residents of Sandpoint will now forced to drive 46 miles for the nearest labor and delivery care, the Idaho Capital Sun reported.

    In a statement, the hospital said the decision to eliminate the obstetrics unit stemmed from the “political climate” in Idaho.

  10. The Idaho state legislature is moving forward with a bill that criminalizes transporting minors to get an abortion without their parents’ consent, potentially soon becoming the first state to restrict interstate travel for abortion as Republican lawmakers seek to strengthen existing state bans on abortion and enact further limits.

    Idaho’s House Bill 242 creates the new crime of “abortion trafficking,” defined as an adult helping a minor obtain an abortion or abortion pills without their parent or guardian’s consent, by “recruiting, harboring, or transporting the pregnant minor within this state.”

    House Bill 242 passed the Idaho state House earlier in March largely along party lines (57-12), and moved forward on Monday in the state Senate, advancing out of committee and to the full chamber.

    House Bill 242 is expected to pass the state Senate, where Republicans outnumber Democrats 28 to 7, and be signed into law by Gov. Brad Little (R), who has spoken out against abortion in the past and signed other anti-abortion bills into law.

  12. 🤔 ✊🏾 .🎂 #RosaParks.

    Today we honor Rosa Parks' 110th birthday. Her contribution to the civil rights movement and role she played to end racial segregation will NEVER be forgotten. Her courage serves as an inspiration to everyone who fights for equality today. Happy heavenly Birthday, Rosa Parks! B.C.

  13. @orvaline We're slowly deciphering what all those tags may mean, but nonetheless, be welcome in the Fediverse ;)

    My guess would be: Bipolare Persönlichkeitsstörung / #Bipolar disorder, Frauenrechte / #WomensRight .. and the other something with "mental" ..?

    By having Thomas Sankara murdered, "France à fric" and its local potentates, like Houphouët Boigny in Ivory Coast, clearly prevented a tide of progress and change to happen in West-Africa, in the late 80's.
    He was a real leftist and progressist, may be the first african leader to put women's rights at such a high place, without any mansplaining or patronizing.

    He is a man I read about, respect and miss a lot, I mean, a lot !

  15. Heartwarming story about how hundreds of people are coming together to support Afghani girls in their education.
