Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem 'Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained'

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

On average, two women a week are killed by a current or former partner in England and Wales. At Refuge, we provide safe accommodation for women and children, but our services are underfunded and we need your help. Please donate to Refuge and help provide a safer future for women.

Being born in a safe and loving home with care from a #midwife International Confederation of Midwives is surely the best investment in our future!

This week I served Dutch traditional ‘beschuit-met-muisjes’ to my colleagues at Maternity Foundation to mark the birth of my grandson ❤️.

I am over the moon!

It’s right that people unfairly hit with these huge fines should have them written off & hounding of unpaid carers stops…honest mistakes have seen them fall foul of a broken & archaic carer’s allowance system,” theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

STOP this nonsense

People who are protesting against the GENOCIDE in Gaza are NOT antisemitic and are NOT supporters of Hamas, they ARE against the GENOCIDE in Gaza

Observational studies and operators experience can count for a lot in scenarios where there has been no study.

all4maternity I loved recording this with Anna!

I found it shocking reporting this story for Today in Focus: how thousands of women and girls in Greenland were fitted with coils without their consent as their Danish masters sought to slash the birth rate and cut the Greenlandic welfare bill. Do listen theguardian.com/news/audio/202…

Gynaecological conditions were the number one topic raised by the 100,000 women who responded to a government survey ….2022. But 31% of women said they were last equipped with information on their cycle and hormones “when at school, or not at all” theguardian.com/business/2024/…

Kayleigh plays for Stoke City, a team owned by the Coates family, worth 8.9 BILLION pounds. yet she's having to ask for donations to fund her own ACL treatment. If that doesn't show you how stark the reality of 'booming' UK women's football outside WSL PR bubble is, nothing will.
