President Trump and right-wing politicians in Europe have railed against trans rights. Britain’s Supreme Court has now added its voice to the discussion, ruling on Wednesday that the legal definition of a woman under the country’s equality legislation is based on biological sex.

Have no mistake, the same wealthy extremists who helped propel Trump into the White House are pumping money into UK. All those who celebrated Trump discriminating against trans and non-binary individuals need to realise it's also women's rights they're coming for. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

“USAID built a vast array of programs to help families foresee and adjust to climate shocks without migrating,” I told the @nytimes.com. Ending those programs “leaves migration as the only viable way for many families in the Western Hemisphere region to cope.”

Deporting individuals just for irregular entry is illegal and undermines due process to determine refugee status, and international principle of non-refoulement. In Venezuela political repression, economic collapse, and human rights violations continue. Returning people places them at grave risk.

Out now! A timely piece w brilliant colleagues. We offer a critique of humanitarian aid when delivered as paternalism, especially when tied to securitised migration. But recognise its role if protection centres on migrant women autonomy and meaningful inclusion journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

this is the point: Trump’s actions are particularly targeting women’s health, notably sexual and reproductive health and rights, and human rights of (forced) migrants. Solidarity, advocacy and policy coordination, including regional organisation, is a must. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I wrote this on the humanitarian impact of the US aid suspension in Latin America. Cuts to vital programmes risk exacerbating displacement, instability, and rights violations.

Venezuela has one of the largest global refugee crises, and the largest in Latin American history because of Maduro. Of course he said he will accept people returned, he's the one they are trying to escape. This is the absolute definition of "refoulement", and illegal. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Greece, along with Frontex, is known to carry out illegal "pushbacks". When you have an already traumatised kid potentially being the victim of one it is unsurprising their memories will be "inconsistent". That's what trauma does.

During the 20th C, the USA indirectly limited and sometimes directly attacked the possibilities of democratization of most Central American countries. The current threats to Panama are not more of the same, but there is something of that as well.

Another extraordinary book that takes you into race, slavery, Haiti, and New Orleans, while exploring the essence of womanhood. It takes you on an emotional journey through the brutal history of slavery and the enduring legacy of colonialism. A powerful story and story teller.
