Vulnerable women and girls being out at risk in the name of DIEB policies and woke agendas!

Why isn’t this headline news -
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11040417/Families-shocked-biological-males-allowed-provide-intimate-care-vulnerable-women.html

I wouldn’t want a male carer bathing, dressing and changing my 16 year old daughters tampons. Who in their right minds thinks this is acceptable. Within the care sector there have been thousands of sexual assault allegations, rapes and an extremely vulnerable woman in her 50’s has HIV as a result of rape in a care home.

Where is the safeguarding and protection for women and girls??
What on earth is going on where we are living in a society where woke ideology is more important than the safety of girls and women.
There needs to be more focus and discussion on these discrete policy changes that are compromising common sense, safety and XX human rights.

I don’t disagree with a word of this. However could I ask - what is the way forward? How can we put pressure on organisation to see that women’s rights aren’t optional?

I totally agree with You OP

I was born in the mid 60s and it seems the freedoms I had during the 70s. 80s etc are long gone for Women
It sucks, it really does.

When you put it into words it seems even more crazy.

A fully functioning adult males feelz are more important than the respect, dignity, safety and choice of a vulnerable women.

ResisterRex · 23/07/2022 09:48

I agree OP. This is a clear violation of dignity and rights.

I wonder whereabouts this is in the paper? Could do with a double page spread IMO.

I hate to break it to you but women on FWR have been detailing how safeguarding has been eroded completely over the last few years. And all we got was shoved into a sub forum to keep it away from the wider public.

And of course all the 'ive hidden the feminist forum as they are pointing out things I don't want to know about' people haven't helped.

This will probably end up hidden away as usual.

Women who live in care homes, or have carers coming to their homes also have no choice in the sex of those giving personal care. There are fewer male carers but they have to accept care from whoever turns up unless a family member advocates for them.

MichelleScarn · 23/07/2022 09:51

Quite @AlisonDonut all the ploppers rush to threads like this and as in the National Theatre thread do the 'I'm reporting to hq and telling them to move this thread to the naughty corner'....
Bloody ridiculous!!

RainbowsMoonbeams · 23/07/2022 09:52

Agree, OP. Absolutely disgusting to put vulnerable women and girls at risk like this.

XXdespair · 23/07/2022 09:59

I have posted this in AIBU and the FWR section to maximise visibility across MN!
Any practical advice for challenging this madness and advocating for womankind would be gratefully received.

Yes its just awful isn't it. And as already stated , not helped by the fact that no one wants to hear it about it and requesting same sex care is a personal.attack on their sons and husbands.

Even those amongst the most vulnerable women and girls , those who are disabled amd can't advocate for themselves and at the mercy of captured agencies determined tp deliberately miss the point to, to provide their care.

It's wrong. And it sickens me that many appear to happily offer up their children and vulnerable relatives to prove they are the good guys who don't accuse men of being dangerous.

I wish there was more we could do.

I understand your point but there have always been male carers and male nurses that deliver personal care ,
I have a disabled non verbal 12 year son who sometimes needs personal care around toileting obviously it's a worry for us that a member of staff could be abusive and he couldn't tell us but we have to trust people .
