Did a judge really say that

Just did the Amnesty International “did a judge REALLY say that” quiz on Facebook. Basically a series of questions about how women are treated by different legal systems (eg how long a woman might be jailed for having a miscarriage in some countries).

I thought it was a really clever way to engage people with women’s human rights and to highlight a continued news to focus on the rights of women.

I consider myself fairly interested in women’s rights and I found the information shocking. So I can imagine people who don’t actively think about women’s rights much might also find it shocking.

Do you think there needs to be more like this to engage people who might otherwise not be that interested or aware of dangers to women’s rights?
I know you’d hope that people would just read articles or seek information themselves but in reality a lot of people need something to spark their interest or their desire to find out more.

Sounds really interesting op. I think anything that gets girls and women engaged with thinking about women's rights is a good thing.

When I saw the title of this thread I assumed it would be about the comment made in the judgement in Maya's case, that understanding the fact that biological sex is real and immutable is "a belief unworthy of respect in a democratic society".

Amnesty? Facebook? It's like two of the world's biggest trolls are trying to play a trick on you by the sounds of it
What trick (sorry I’m not always good at reading between the lines 😂)
