I was deeply moved by #Shardlake on @DisneyPlusUK. It's uplifting to see severe #scoliosis depicted in a positive light and challenging the use of abusive terms like "hunchback." It's great to see us depicted as quick-witted heroes rather than recluses swinging from the rafters!

The remarkable #Shardlake is already shaping public perception of #Scoliosis and changing how it is portrayed in the media. This article by @conversationUK presents groundbreaking research and predicts that Rx will be used to treat this condition in the future. It's a must-read!

a travelvlog couple trying to visit every country in the world decided to go to India as their latest destination. 11 hours ago they announced they were at the hospital because he had been beaten up and she had been gang raped by 7 men.

The level of sexual aggression I witnessed while living in India for several years was unlike anywhere else I have ever been. Once a total stranger, a British woman, asked to sleep in my bed and pretend to be my girlfriend on a train ride because a man walking by in the hall had licked her foot and she felt unsafe. I introduced a female friend to a young Indian man and instead of shaking her hand, he groped her breast, and when she became angry he became extremely hostile and I thought I was going to have to fight the guy. I never met a female traveler who had not been groped or assaulted or worse, even if they had only been in country for mere days. I love India. It is and always will be one of my favorite places in the world. But I have advised female friends who asked me not to travel there alone. This is a real problem in Indian society that warrants more attention and that I hope will improve in time.

India is the rape capital of the world. Reporting to a corrupt police force is pointless. Rapists are often pardoned by the government which has in its midst many rapists. It’s time to accept the reality of India.

Following the horrific gang rape of Brazilian citizen Fernanda by 8 Indian men in Jharkhand, there has been all manner of rape apologism, whataboutery, and victim blaming and shaming used to whitewash, minimise and excuse India’s position as rape capital of the world, coming from Indian politicians, high ranking government employees, and social media handles. What excuses will they give for the rape and murder of a 7 year old? Is it her clothing, her behaviour, or her actions they will blame? India is not safe for women.

Rape capital of the world.

🧵 What does #InternationalWomensDay mean to women who can't even report rape? Too often, this is what happens to undocumented women who risk facing detention and deportation if they report abuse to the police. 🎤 We spoke to @Parlimag about all this: theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article/n…

@gunsnrosesgirl3 We would need the labels, meanings or values for the red and black circuitry to make an informed decision.

Up to half of all cancers can be prevented through screening and pre-cancer treatment. Adopting a healthy lifestyle also diminishes the risk of developing the disease. More from @WHO on Sunday's #WorldCancerDay: who.int/news-room/fact…
